Help Make this Cutting Diet Perfect....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont sugar coat it!

[Sgt. Hartman]

Diet looks pretty good. Protein is kind of high and carbs a little low which to me is okay on a cutting diet. It doesn't seem like you're eating but a couple hundred cals below your maintenance which IMO is a good idea but I hope you're planning on alot of cardio for substantial weight loss.

I don't like meal 2 at all, surely you can come up with a lean protein source and a complex carb you can eat on the run - I often eat 8oz chicken breast cold straight out of a zip-loc bag.

The macros you posted for 1 cup egg whites are for 1/2 cup I think.

For PWO I really like waxy maize but oats or sweet potato would do just fine - whatever works for you.

As far as dropping cals once you lose some weight, I would only do that as a last resort. If weight loss stalls, try upping your cardio first, up to 2 intense sessions per day. If that still doesn't work, lower your carbs on your non-workout days. If you really want to maintain your current LBM, consistently dropping cals is not the way to do it as I feel that it just lowers your metabolism and destroys muscle mass. You want to eat as much as possible while still losing weight (letting your cardio create the deficit) if that makes sense

Thanks for the help man. OK I will definitely throw in that diabolical "zip-chicken" idea! lol. Ya right now I am losing weight while taking in around 3000 cals, but I am sure a lot of that is water.
