check my cutting diet.........critique

Saturated fats will not kill you, or maybe they will, but as long as you get them in meals without carbs, it shouldn't be that bad. Unsaturated fats are much better for you though. I would get very lean red meat and eat some fish or flax oil with it.

You are essentially using the fats for energy when you are not eating carbs.

thats what i was counting on. i cut my carbs today. i only ate 1/2 grapefruit for breakfast. this is how i adjusted it today:

8:00 meal 1: 7 egg whites, 1/2 slice ham,
11:00 meal 2: 8-10oz. ground hamburger, 1.5 cups steamed vegis
2:00 meal 3: 2 cans tuna, 1/2 teaspoon mustard, 1 teaspoon
miricle whip(light)
5:00 meal 4: 1 1/2 protein bars(4 carbs/40g proti/2sugars)
7:30 meal 5: 8oz Steak cooked on george forman grill
10:00 meal 6: shake or 6oz tuna w/ little mustard

verry low carbs but kept the fat, i can stand lower carbs but i bought a ton of steak and i love the way it and hamburger taste

any input?

Looks good. I like to get at least one meal with good complex carbs in the AM when I am cutting, but that is just because I don't want to go into ketosis.

I would make sure that you are getting some carbs post-workout. Also, maybe some more green veggies later in the day.
