Cut Diet Check

[Frontrow12]

Jumped on the scales this morning out of curiosityas I'd been going (in some shape or form) for about a week. Down to 102.5 (225lbs)... Ah the psychological battle that comes with losing weight!

Guys, quick couple of questions!

Firstly with my macros should I only be counting my protein from protein sources, carbs from carb sources etc. or should I be counting the protein in pasta/rice, and carbs in meat etc

Secondly,what's the advice on cardio? Currently doing around 40min fasted walking with my dog in the morning. It's in a woodland so I a mix of gradients and terrain. Then I'll usually do 20 mins steady state after my gym session. Plus 2 rugby sessions of around 90 mins per week at quite a high intensity. Should I be doing my fasted cardio HIT style?

Lastly, any suggestions for low sodium/carb marinades or sauces in the UK?

Cheers

Absolutely count all macros from all sources. It's going in your body so it counts. You'd be surprised how the protein from carb sources can add up.

As far as cardio I would find out what you're ideal heart rate is to burn fat. I don't have a calculator link to attach but I'm sure if u google it you can find out easily what the best range for fat burning is for u. When u do cardio check your heart beats per min. Simple way is count you're pulse on you're neck for 10 seconds, multiply by 6 and that's you're beats per min.

I do 5, sometimes 6 days a week of cardio. That works well for me.
