    Stumped, need help cutting

    I have a cutting cycle planned before my wedding in Mexico mid winter so I'm just trying to lean out naturally for the summer so I'm not looking like a fat slob on the beach or mowing my front lawn. I finished a bulking cycle last February so I'm trying to lean out as carefully as possible and keeping muscle loss to a minimum. That mean's no AM fasted cardio. While I find it works well, it works just as well for muscle catabolism. So I've been trying low impact cardio right after I lift. I've been doing this for 2 months now and it is not going well at all. I feel like I'm the same bodyfat with less muscle even. I wanted to post my diet on here and get someone else's point of view that maybe there's something in there I'm missing


    Meal 1 – Blended shake, 1/3 cup steel cut oats (uncooked), 1/3 cup blueberries, 1 ¾ scoop whey protein, glutamine, bcaa’s, cyclo greens supplement.
    Meal 2 – 5 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 2 slices Ezekiel bread, 1 slice fat free cheese
    Meal 3 – 1 ½ chicken breasts, 1 cup whole wheat pasta or sweet potatoes, 2/3 cup of peas and carrots.
    Workout – 45min – 1 hr weight lift, followed immediately by 20-30 min low impact cardio.
    “Meal” 4 - PWO shake – 2 scoops protein , 2 scoops dextrose, bcaa’s, glutamine
    Meal 5 – 1 hour later, 1 ½ chicken breast, ¾ cup brown rice, 1/2 cup veggies
    Meal 6 - 85 grams smoked salmon (this is very low in fat), 1 tbsp almond butter
    Meal 7 – 2 scoops casein, 1 tbsp flax seed oil

    I'm wondering if I should step up the cardio and try some high intensity?

    10g of bcaa's during cardio should help with preserving lean muscle.

    What are your stats and what is your total macros and cals for the day? How often are you doing cardio throughout the week?
