    regarding the split, I really like the way to train whole body and then have the days off, also I like to train every part 2 times per week, cuz already with this split I feel next training like I didnt train it for a long time, and I try to hit the parts really hard, dont have any problems with energy or anything else, but then, what you say about training every other day?

    I will look into it when I get home from work, but almost 30g of fat is from evoo, dont know what to do with that

    be sure I eat pre-wo meal 1h before workout

    you know the worst thing is here is pain in A to buy something healthy, with good/KNOWN macros, for example, liquid egg whites ? no way if I dont order it from another country, same with many other things...

    Gucks-I will agree that he can afford to bring protein down a bit and bring carbs up to replace the protein. When I cut, I personally like to keep carbs in breakfast, pre and post workout, so I'll have to disagree with adding the carbs to meals 2, 3, and 4; I would keep them pro/fat. I also don't like the protein-only meal for meal 7. Why do you feel it's a good idea to have neither carbs nor fats in this meal? I think the fat macros look reasonable for someone with his stats. I was cutting at 2,100 cals/day when I was 165 lbs and 14%bf, and I was eating 55 grams of fat per day.

    Sorry, not trying to argue with you; more like a friendly disagreement. Would just like to know why you suggested some of the things you did. Cheers, bro!

    ye, u want 2 keep ur carbs in the am and around ur workout, but that doesnt mean u 4get about them 4 the rest of the day. he only had carbs with breakfast and pre & postWO. u can only use so much protein so tht excess is just going 2 be wasted.

    and its not really a protein only meal, veges and evoo aswell. but at tht time of the day u dont need as many carbs especially when ur trying to cut. the evening is when ur metabolism slows down so u use less calories. tht y i dont see the need for lots of carbs in the evening when cuting, still has some fats in there though.

    thanks for input guys!

    I will need to do few changes in this diet, yesterday I had first workout with this meal plan and definitely need to add more carbs as my workout sucked hard, I had almost no energy already when I started, lol, so its what you all suggested, but I guess I needed to try it on my own

    another think with carbs is that when I work 12h a day, I am sitting on my a$$ whole day so my energy exp is minimal, will try to add carbs according to it

    will reduce the evoo so I bring the fats little down and will look for some oats with less fat, and also I am thinking about buying some cassein powder for night as at evening, after workout I need to eat pwo meal, big last meal and cottage in 2h timeframe or in other way I will not get enough sleep

    will also try to look into workout section for some routines

    its not much but I lost already about 6lbs in 3 weeks after I changed my diet, which was the one in first post, so it should be only better now

    gonna play with it today and come up with some changes

    P.S. When i say carbs, I mean any carb that will have any significant effect on insulin; not fiber. Imo, the more green/fibrous veggies, the better.

    hey, i fu like ur split as it is then stick with it. theres a 100 ways to the top of a mountain, but theres only 1 top :P

    going EOD training wuldnt be enough for me but if u hit it hard and do more then 1 muscle group in the day it culd work. i dont like doing more then 1 muscle group in a day just because ti takes so much out of u. legs and back especially, working another muclse group with those wuld kill me!

    82g of fat really is 2 much. 60g is a gd target, lose some of the evoo with vege's. its a gd idea 2 have EFA with corrage cheese b4 bed aswell as fats slow down absorbtion rates so tht protein will last longer.

    i wuld lose at least 30g of tht protein and add it 2 carbs. if u feel gd with ur macros the way they r then keep going but 430g is definately way 2 much and 120g of carbs is very little for a guy as big as u. if ur doing alot of cardio i wuldnt last a week on 120g carbs a day.
