    I found that with a cutting diet it's best to keep all carbs in breakfast/pre-workout/post-workout meals only. I use 45% of my carbs post workout, 40% carbs pre-workout and the remaining 15%. This way, you utilize all carbs the way they are suppose to. Think of carbs as putting gas in your car. Yea, you can fill your gas tank, drive only 5 miles and come back the next day with basically a full tank of gas because you only used 5 miles worth and the rest is stored. Same goes for carbs. If you fill your body with carbs and don't utilize them all your body will then store them for later use. Whole point in a cutting diet is to cut the fat, not store it. Breakfast to fuel you through the day, pre-workout to fuel you through your workout and post-workout to recover and repair your body after exertion.

    After reading over the diet you made, I don't see a pre-workout meal? This is 1 out of 3 meals that are most important throughout your day. You can't drive your car with no gas, same goes for lifting weights. Can't expect to have a good workout with nothing to fuel your workouts.

    Also, your calculations are wrong as far as macros go. 1 egg white = 5g protein.

    I've cut all fruits out of my cutting diet as well as dairy. Your post work-out meal should have a complex carb, not simple carbs. Do not read into the myth of "fast absorbing" carbs post-workout especially since there is no "magic window" for absorption.

    23g of fat in one meal is way too much. Try to keep fats at 7-10g/meal at most. Add whole eggs to your breakfast along with oatmeal.

    I went with a 45p/40c/15f for my cutting diet. Looking at 405's post at 2800 TDEE, from personal experience I would start with a 2,300 calorie deficit, I think 2,000 is too drastic to start. at 2,300 calories your protein/carb/fat would be 255p/230c/35f


    Meal 1 40p/34c/7f
    Meal 2 40p/7f
    Meal 3 40p/7f
    Pre 4 40p/92c/7f
    Post 5 40p/103c
    PPost 6 post 40p/7f

    If it was me, this is what I found best to work for my body... using your weight numbers.
