    Dave Palumbo cutting diet help.

    Stats at start: 5'9' 200lbs ~14 BF%

    Ok guys, i was planning on trimming up my hips (love handle area) and my waist a few inches before starting my first cycle of test prop
    but i feel like something is off with my diet. I have been on it for 9 days and my waist has gone down about 1/4 inch but my hips have increased
    by about 1/4 inch. I feel like they should both be down at least by 1/2 by down (according to others that have run the diet).
    I am weighting about 197.5 right now but i am not losing the fat i need to lose. I know you can not spot reduce fat but my hips and waist
    is where 95% of my fat is stored. Also, low intensity cardio is recommended on this diet so i am doing anywhere from 25-45 minutes on the
    bike 3-4 times a week and keeping my heart rate under 130bpm.

    Anyways, i'll post the diet and the macros for each meal and the total of all the meals
    together underneath it and hopefully you can help lead me in the right direction.


    For a 200lb man:

    5 whole eggs (make sure to buy OMEGA-3 EGGS from the supermarket. They contain virtually NO saturated fat and tons of good OMEGA-3 fats); add another 4 egg whites to this (they don?t need to be the Omega-3 ones; you can use liquid egg whites)
