Cutting Diet?

I will be starting a cutting diet here in 2 weeks. I have researched allot of posts and different diets. What kind of diet has worked for you guys...keto...crumcake
 
Low carb/high protein along the line of 40-30-30. I build my meals around lots of vegetables to help with satiety, and I "budget" an occasional treat here and there. I also take one day a week off. That not only helps psychologically but physically: a few hundred calorie deviation every several days keeps your body from getting accustomed to your current nutrition program, resulting in a more responsive environment to diet and exercise.

Anything you over eat will turn to fat. How many cals are you taking in the whole day? You really can't get an answer for this without knowing how many carbs and fats you are taking in also. But protein and fat is better to eat in the afternoon and before bed though. I cut out all carbs after 12 or 1pm, and have protein and fat the rest of the day.

protein will turn to fat if it is excess calories, eating 300 grams depends on your bodyweight and what else you are eating, just make sure your calories are right and consume protein according to that amount and your macronutrient breakdown.

300protein =1200cals
60carbs =240cals
20fat= 180

Some people may disagree w/ me but you need to up the fat grams.. You are not getting enough carbs or fat and you need one of those for energy.. You are using your protein for energy right now, so it's being wasted to fuel your body instead of aid in muscle growth.. The reason why I suggest adding more fat is to keep your hormones in balance. I'm on a cutting diet and get at least 60g of fat and I'm seeing great results.

I agree. If carbs are going to be low, you have to get your energy from fats. Like 6 pack, i'm aiming for around 60g a day. Most fat comes from flax oil, and from meat.
 
fats should b higher. i weigh 106 pounds and eat 30-40g 5 days a week, and on zero carb days up it to around 60g
 
ide play around with carbs more than cals.

ive been carb rotating for a few weeks now, i think its the best thing ive done for myslef inthe past year.

Correct, if you are noticing too much muscle loss or not losing fat, play with carbs, though your carbs are pretty low already, so it would be kind of hard to cut any more. But when cutting, if I start losing too much muscle, first thing I do is add carbs.

isn't it bodyweight x 12? -500 cals and stuff?

no it is 15 X bw -500, or 12 X bw. u definitely need to up your calories,1620 is not near enough in my opinion at 165 lbs, u will lose too much muscle.
 
See the above website or use the calculation below


Calculating caloric intake based on your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and your Active Metabolic Rate (AMR).
Here is the basic formula for calculating your BMR and AMR. (Do not worry if this looks hard, an easy way follows.)
Women: 655 + [4.36 x Weight (lbs.)] + [4.32 x Height (inches)] - (4.7 x Age) = your BMR Men: 66 + (6.22 x Weight (lbs.)] + [12.7 x Height (inches)] - (6.8 x Age) = your BMR
Next, to determine the amount of total calories your active body needs or its AMR simply multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor listed below.
Lightly active (normal, everyday activities)... BMR x 1.3 = Maintenance Calorie Level Moderately active (exercise 3 to 4 times a week)... BMR x 1.4 = Maintenance Calorie Level Very active (exercise more than 4 times a week)... BMR x 1.6 = Maintenance Calorie Level Extremely active (exercise 6 to 7 times a week for more than 1 hour duration)... BMR x 1.8 = Maintenance Calorie Level
Interestingly, simply by changing from a lightly active lifestyle to a very active lifestyle you can increase your caloric intake by 24% (about 500 calories).
Once you've completed the above calculations you should cut your AMR by 15% and consume this number of calories in total each day while on the ketogenic diet.
For a quick and easy way to calculate all that, here's a web site that will do the math for you:

Drop the banana post workout.. You want to use dextrose. Fructose from a banana isn't the ideal for replenishing muscle glycogen.
 
i agree w 6 pack...
post your diet..we can help..maybe bump up your cardio a little if your not seeing results..nothing major..just go for a brisk walk outside - well thats what i do anyway
 
what do u consider a heavy training day?


Monday-Chest/Back some cardio
Tuesday-Shoulders some cardio
Wednesday-Rest
Thursday-Legs/biceps/triceps but i dont go all crazy on Legs i keep it light
Friday-Chest/Back/Shoulders to finish the week off and some cardio

which of this days are heaviest i am thinking monday and friday and maybe tuesday:/

Today i dropped the banana and added oatmeal i was like dang the same weight for the past 3weeks wtf is up,i do look somewhat lean in the mirror:/ but abs hardly visible maybe a 4pack is seen when i train heavy on those days M,Tuesday,Friday

or its cause im weighing myself at the wrong time...cause i drink a protein shake 1hr before lifting and stuff and lots and lots of water could be the problem.....
