Unless you're a competitive bodybuilder (not men's physique etc.) I don't understand why do you need 7 meals and such a specific, detailed diet.

Tell us your goals too, that way we know what you are trying to achieve with this diet.

I am currently 10% I would like to attemp to drop to 5% I do HIIT 6 days a week.

Thanks for reply guys and 7 meals does sound like alot but I eat the same everyday for simplicity of knowing exactly the macros I have everyday lol

Why do you want to be 5%? Are you planning on competing? If not then there's really no reason to get to such an unhealthy and unmaintainable bodyfat.

Just the simple fact of setting a goal and achieving it I know that 5% is extremely hard to schieve but I like a challenge and I am up to do whatever to achieve it for this summer. After summer I would like to maintain around 7% throughout the year.

7% is still incredibly shredded (and unhealthy) to try and maintain, most cannot maintain that and for many maintaining a true 10% is a stretch. Not to mention maintaining that basically means you won't be making any gains unless your blasting a shitload of gear like the fitness models you see maintaining that year round and still making gains.

Hey guy, if you're looking to trim down, keep shit consistent and monitor your weight loss. Aim to lose 1-2 pounds a week, and drop cals each time you hit a stick point. I like to pull from carbs, and it sounds like you've got you macros down so you're set there. Keep the weight loss slow and steady, and drop cals as little as possible to achieve your targeted poundage, which for me is about 1-200 cals each time I drop. Everybody's different, figure what's best for you.

Thanks alot man allkindogains I just readjusted the diet trying to hit 170 but shredded I just recent still pulled 500lbs not the 555 I dod previously at 185 but still pretty good strength dose not feel gone but energy is def alot lower. I am thinking of adding in O.N preworkout for and extra little boost.

I remember cutting and it felt like a chore to walk around at work. Definitely can zap your strength. Caffeinated fat burners are great if you've never tried them, or even just caffeine in general, helps alot with the focus and energy. I'm with these other guys tho, unless you've got a show or something specific, don't get unhealthy with it. That kind of leanness is not maintainable long term.

Diet plan seems good. You're aiming for a really low body fat percentage which you'll only be able to peak at and not maintain. I would say drop the remaining carbs and use 15-20 minutes intense cardio sessions to burn down fat but you probably won't be able to keep that up for long. Your overall diet seems though so just keep doing what you're doing.
