I am about ready to embark on a 3 month cutting cycle and was wondering if i could get some pointers on the diet. Right now I am 5'10 222 lbs at 16% body fat, and my BMR at 2,900 calories. (just got everything measured exact on Friday) My goal would be to maintain my current weight but cut the body fat % down into the single digits. I am the kind of person, that when cutting, will measure and weigh everything out perfect and write everything I consume down. Cheat meals happen once a week in the form of Subway early in the day before I workout.

So far for this upcoming week I plan on eating 3,200 calories providing 350 grams of protein, 250 grams of carbs, and 90 grams of fat.

Protein sources will be mostly from Chicken, Eggs, Whey Protein, and Cottage cheese. Each meal with 50-60 grams except the last, 1 cup of Cottage Cheese Before bed time. I will be consuming a whey protein shake as soon as I wake up, about 1 hour before I workout, and 1 as soon as I am done.

Carb sources mainly from Fruits, Veggies, Ezekiel Bread, Oats, and Maltodextrin. I will eat the majority of the carbs before I workout and taper off as the night goes. Maltodextin as soon as I am done working out, and only green beans or broccoli after that point.

Fat sources will be from Egg Yolks, and Olive Oil, spread out evenly through each meal except for the first protein shake in the morning and the post-workout shake.

Any help or critique on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You !!

when your cutting, subway is not the best option because its fucking loaded with sodium and carbs... i would also cut ezekiel and olive oil and cottage cheese... none are good for a cut... go here and do a bit of reading...

grapefruit is a fat burner as well... lowers insulin which helps burn fat
