im 5 ft 6 in and 218 lbs. about 25% body fat. I did the math and my TDEE is 3200 calories a day. I am having trouble getting a diet that will give me 40/40/20 and since im cuting get 2700 intake daily. i work out in the morning and eat between 5-6 times a day. i guess im asking for an example of a day dieting. i have been browsing the site and the "Dieting 101:Cutting" thread has helped me soo much. just need a bit more help thats all.

Welcome to the forum!
Keep browsing the site there a re tonnes of diet examples just look in any threads in this section.
Also... 2700 cal is what you're taking in while cutting?? I'm 6'1 and 250 right now and I'm cutting at 2000cal. Your Caloric intake is waaaaayyyyy to high you gotta bring that way down.
Good Luck

post a diet hitting these macros. keep starchy carbs limited to meal 1, pre workout, post workout. veggies u can have any time.

with 25%bf im going to assume ur diet has sucked and u prob havent been working out real hard. just by cleaning up the diet, creating a moderate deficit and exercising ur gonna see results.
