Cutting diet?help?
So I'm 35 6 ft 240 and around 20-25% bf I'm going to get accurate body comp as my scale is unpredictable. I way to get my bf down to 15% before my 1st cycle I jus finished natural bulk 214 14% bf up to 240-247 at 20-24%. I've never tried to cut and have put together a diet and would like input.
7am- 3 scoops gnc wheybolic
9am 8 egg whites 1/2 cup oatmeal 1 tbs flax
11-2 cans albacore 2 tbs peanut butter
1-8oz chicken
3-6in sub turkey triple meat or equivalent in tuna or chicken and whole wheat bagel
5-2 can albacore
7- pwo two scoops wheybolic protein 2 scoops gnc amplified creatine
Two scoops casiene gnc refeed w zma
Approximately 3-3200 cal
My maintenance amount is 3875 so 500 or so deficit?

You need to get some carbs in on your PWO meal.
I wouldn't use creatine while cutting because it just loads your muscles up with water.
Use a lean fish instead of sodium packed tuna. Sodium also creates excess water retention.
Also pre-workout get a good complex carb; oats or sweet potatoes. That is where energy comes from, not the protein.

Roof glad to see u started this thread! I suggest u cut past 15% down to at least 12% if not 10% before cycling.
Ur maintenance is very likely incorrect. U prob used a formula from the sticky? A new improved formula is (LBM x 15).
U at 240lbs 25% bf have 60lbs FAT and 180lbs LBM. (180 x 15 = 2700cals) this is a good rough starting maintenance for u. I would suggest u start ur cut at 2200cals. I prefer 60/20/20 pro/carb/fat for a cutting split. Keeping carbs at 20% total cals will optimize ur ability to mobilize and thus burn fat.
U could try 40/40/20 but IMO it isnt as aggressive and prob not as effective.
2200cals
330g pro
110g carbs
49g fat
Keep ur carbs complex in pre workout/post workout meals only and have green veggies in all other meals.
Cardio: 5-6 days per week am fasted preferable or PWO 45 mins moderate intensity (130HR)
I suggest u post a diet hitting the above suggested macros.

Thank you so much for the input here is what I came up with
Meal 1-3 scoops GNC Extreme Whey Bolic
meal -2 8 egg whites and 3 tablespoons flax seed
meal -3 6 ounce chicken breast and 1 cup broccoli
Meal-4 6 ounce chicken breast and 1 cup broccoli
Meal-pre-work out one bagel one scoop whey Bolic
Meal-6. Post work out two scoops protein 1 cup brown rice immediately after work out
Meal-7 6 ounce salmon
Meal-8 gNC refeed protein two scoops with Z ma
Total calories 2330
55% protein 26% carbs 19% fat
I could take off half the Pre-workout bagel and hit the calorie Mark but shouldn't I have at least 50 g of carbs for energy an hour before work out
Also should I do carb cycling if so how much
And as for work out when I am bulking I hit four days a week heavyset I can go into detail on that too but as far as Cardio I am a roofing contractor and I could just work with my guys a few days a week and do cardio the rest would that work?
Again thank you so much for the input and help
