Bro....you're 175lbsat 5-10....how fat can you possibly be? I really don't think you need to "cut" per se. I think once you eat more like an athlete, up your protein, grow a little bit of muscle, etc, then your body comp will improve and you'll probably be happier with how you look.

Again, with foods, make it easy....Lots of lean beef, poultry, fish. Lots of complex carbs (whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, oats, corn meal, etc) Lots of green veggies and salads, Lots of healthy fats (ANPB, olive oil, flax etc). Dribk about a gallon of water a day.

Avoid sugars, avoid alcohol avoid processed foods (fast foods and anything in a "box" basically).
