Basically, the reasons for the whey shakes in the meals, is because I am a college student/athlete and wal-mart whey last me awhile and doesn't cost much.

(Meal 1) PRE-WORKOUT- 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup oats, 1 scoop whey

Workout

(Meal 2) POST WORKOUT - 3 scoops of Cytogainer

(Meal 3) 1 4 oz Tilapia OR 1 4 oz grilled chicken breast with 1 scoop whey protein, 1 cup veggies, 1/2 cup oats

(Meal 4) 1 4 oz Tilapia OR 1 4 oz grilled chicken breast with 1 scoop whey protein, 1 TBSP natural peanut butter

(Meal 5) 1 4 oz Tilapia OR 1 4 oz grilled chicken breast with 1 scoop whey protein, 1 cup veggies

(Meal 6) 1 scoop of whey OR 1 4 oz tilapia OR 1 4 oz grilled chicken breast and 1 cup of FF Cottage cheese & 1 TBSP Natural PB.

Approx 300 grams protein, 130 grams carbs? and about 25 grams of fat or so I believe?

what's your weight?

[Athlete127]

Oh sorry! 195.

I would rather see your macros more like this....

P280 C240 F60

I would start There and then begin to drop fats and carbs if your loosing no weight after 2 weeks....

I don't have the time to critique ur diet ATM... At work and on my iPod... No gooD for going in with bold

All I will say is keep your carbs around ur training and ur fats everywhere else...

[Athlete127]

Thank you for the advice! I make sure I separate my fat and carbs. I believe I will switch meal 4 & 2.

Edited to move my carbs closer to around workouts. And my fats closer to end of the day. Should I throw in a scoop of natural PB with my breakfast/preworkout?

Why are you cutting?

I bulked from 175 to 195+ this summer... I was just wanting to define it more.

[gbrice75]

You're 195ish in the pics in the link above, right? You managed to gain 20+ lbs. and remain THAT lean... I wouldn't cut at all... i'd just continue working on adding mass and staying lean. Just my .02, obviously it's your choice but there's simply not much to cut IMO. You're not entering a competition.

[Athlete127]

If I was to bulk more, what would you do to that diet then?

[gbrice75]

Bring your calories up! =P

I'd go with 275g protein max, 300g carbs to start with, and roughly 60 - 70g fat. Around 3000 calories.

If you're aren't adding weight around 3000 calories, Increase carbs by 25g at a time until you start to see a weekly increase, and keep a close eye on bodyfat all the while.

[Athlete127]

I wish there was a way to bulk the rest of your body, but keep the abdominals cut!

I agree with gbrice 100%. Just add a lil target heart rate cardio to help keep the fat gain to a min. during the off season.
