Review my Diet Plan

[Tommytank]

Hi all... i have been struggling with my diet i think as i train pretty hard but cant get consistent results.

im nearly 25 yrs old around 5'11" and weigh in at 211.4 lbs with approx 28% body fat according to my stand on digi scales.

I have large fairly muscular legs that i believe accounts for a lot of my weight but i do have pouches of fat in the gut area and nipple/lower chest area.

I have seen slow but sure increase in lean muscle size on my arms traps and upper chest where i have started to look a little leaner but i now have like puffy moobs under my pecs.

I work chest pretty hard and was hoping that its just my existing fat being puffed out by the new muscle underneath. anyway i have decided to try and cut instead of build and i want a lean frame that i can build on in future now i know better how to progress...

I have worked out that my average RMR is 2157 kcals a day...

I plan to eat high protein lower carb and possibly higher fat content in order to shed this excess sag i have over my muscles i work so hard for.

I have put together a daily meal plan that will vary slightly day to day but on the whole remain the same...
