Quick Cutting Diet Evaluation, please?

[Canadian Jelly]

Bulked all winter. Put on quite a bit of fat, this being my first time bulking, and some muscle. Now that it's nearing summertime I'm not interested in looking like a chubby bastard, so it's cutting time.

I'm 5'11, 185lbs, Anywhere from 15-20% Bodyfat.

Any input for the following diet would be greatly appreciated.


Morning - Breakfast

3 scrambled Eggs 22g Pro/ 17g Fat/ 2g Carbs/ 93Cal
Banana 1g Pro/ 1g Fat/ 23g Carbs/ 93cal
2 flaxseed pills 18cal


Lunch

Powerbar 2g Pro/ 9g Fat/ 41g Carbs/ 222cal


Afterschool

8oz Chicken Breast 44g Pro/ 5g Fat/ 0g Carbs/ 164cal
1 cup cottage cheese 28g Pro/ 2g Fat/ 6g Carbs/ 164cal
2 flaxseed pills 18cal


After Training

Protein Powder & Milk - 31g Pro/ 7g fat/ 18g carbs/ 261cal
8oz Chicken Breast 44g Pro/ 5g Fat/ 0g Carbs/ 164cal
2 flaxseed pills 18cal


Before Bedtime

1 cup cottage cheese 28g Pro/ 2g Fat/ 6g Carbs/ 164cal

The total are: 200g of Protein/ 54g Of Fat/ 96g of Carbs/ 1523cal

How's that sound for a cutting diet?

Sorry buit it doesn't look good at all....

Calories are LOW and your carbs are almost pure sugar...

Kind of in a hurry to go through all the problems but I'm sure someone will help you out

I don't like it much.

Cut out the lactose prods such as cottage cheese and replace it with low sodium beef jerky or salt free peanuts or low carb prot shake.

Cut out the egg yolks and just do whites an eat more than 3 eggs, go for siz whites

have oatmeal instead of the banana in the morning

your lunch has too many carbs with no protein... Eat tuna and some mild carb for lunch like maybe a few baked lays... try to get 20g carbs from a food with lunch

after training throw in a carb shake with prot shake... But make it with water not milk... Move that chicken breast to luch time maybe if you dont like the tuna

Try not to eat any carbs past 7, and dont eat alot before bed... Maybe just a low carb prot shake

Try to workout in the morning, am cardio is a must if you wanna get lean... this way you can have a post workout carb shake early on in the day.

I have class in the morning too, so i wake up early to make it to the gym..> If you dont like waking up early then get over it because you need to make that sacrifice to get under 10% for the summer

"Cut out the lactose prods such as cottage cheese and replace it with low sodium beef jerky or salt free peanuts or low carb prot shake."

What's so bad about lactose? Can't say I'm a fan of beef jerky or peanuts, too. But I'll take this into account..

"Cut out the egg yolks and just do whites an eat more than 3 eggs, go for siz whites"

I'll buy egg-whites only. About how much should I eat in the morning?

"your lunch has too many carbs with no protein... Eat tuna and some mild carb for lunch like maybe a few baked lays... try to get 20g carbs from a food with lunch"

Chips for lunch? Hm. My lunch options aren't too big. Cafeteria food is disgusting, absolutely no healthy food choices are available. All grease-ridden shit that I wouldn't wanna lay a finger on.

"after training throw in a carb shake with prot shake... But make it with water not milk... Move that chicken breast to luch time maybe if you dont like the tuna"

Hmm.. Yeah. Moving the chicken breast to lunch does sound like a good idea..

"Try to workout in the morning, am cardio is a must if you wanna get lean... this way you can have a post workout carb shake early on in the day.

lol.. I wake up at 6AM in the morning to get to Volleyball practice everyday. About 3 days a week I have track training, 2 days for JUST cardio, and then wieght lifting 3 days.

Thanks for the reply, anyone else?

lactose will make you bloated

I buy the all whites and use half the carton each meal... I think its the equivalent of 4 or 5 whites...

I just suggested the beef jerkey because high protein and low carbs... nuts because of poly and monunsaturated fats... If you dont like either get some of those eas low carb shakes

Fellow North Yorker!!

Hey bro kudos...see u at extreme yonge and 7!!!

As for the diet...cottage cheese is a great source of casein protein..slow assimilating!!! You dont bloat from the lactose unless you are intolerant...the high sodium might tho!!! But only worries if you are a week out precontest. Also..you want to avoid high GI carbs(unless postworkout) and starches as much as possible! Throw the "bars" out..they are worthless...if u want to cheat eat a snickers..much better tasting! Your protein is low and your carbs are too high....a good measure...1.5-2 g/lb protein, .5-.75 g fat/lb, and carbs 30-100 grams daily preferably post workout(glucose) You can have a higher carb day say every 5-6 days....chicken, lean steak, salmon, tuna, eggs, cottage cheese, all good...efa are essential as well...dont mix fat with carbs...also try not to eat within an hour of bedtime!

Peace!

Re: Diet

PS. as for calories...i would suggets approx 500 less than maintenance...which depends on your metabolic rate...you can estimate roughly bodyweight times 16 less 500...= roughly 2400....i would juggle this daily say 200, 2200, 2400 then back to 2000....watch your body and see what happens ..if you lose weight too fast up the calories slightly...and vice versa...its a game you have to play until you eventually come to terms with your own body and fins the corect levels..these are estimates only! Cardio should be done on an empty stomach first thing in am for 45 min and after workout 30-45 min lower intensity....stay focused...you will see results!

peace
