forgot to say..sorry heres my stats

im trying to cut....doing about 4+ hours cardio a week..

I would say you need more carbs even if your cutting. I personally could not maintain any muscle with that diet. remember when you reduce your carbs to nothing like you did not all of your proteins are going to your muscle, with that diet your body will be burning off some of the protein just for energy. so you would either have to seriously increase your protein - which is costly and hard on the kidneys. or my recomendation is to (even though your cutting) get some more complex carbs, ie oatmeal - a yam, in for your fist few meals of the day maybe cut them off after your 2:15 meal after the gym. - Dude you know you have to get some carbs in within the magic window right after a workout for glycogen uptake! then at night you could rock the chicken & broccoli. just my 2cc's

what are the macros? i would lose the whole wheat bread and throw in some steel cut oats, baked potato, yams or brown rice.

as far as you eating a slice of pizza post workout....i don't think that's terrible (don't get me wrong...you def should be eating some chicken and maybe a gatorade for some simple carbs to replenish your glycogen levels pwo) but if your going to cheat i would say that's a good time to do it. if you wanna see your abs though i would hold off and stick to the basics b/c that's what works.

also are you taking any efa's??? fish oil or something?? fat content seems to low for 192lbs

 

[Ramcononer]

Not taking any EFA's But I do eat Tilapia filets about twice a weeks I eat bunch of tuna also. Post work out I down an Iso pure shake...I do eat alot of veggies.....some olive oil...I stop eating carb after 8pm..I usually dont go to sleep until after 12 so I figure that may be ok...But when I cheat it is usually a slice of pizza or a marinara slice which all it is is marinara sauce on a peice or flat sicilian shaped bread...Ive been consistent with this diet for a few months and went from 207 at about 19%bf to 192 14

your talking to a fellow pisan....i know the drill! i get yelled at every sunday....

throw in some anpb before bedtime...slow digesting protein + good fats = great last meal of the day

Stick this puppy in www.fitday.com (if you havent' already) so you know what you are really eating. Most people can't eyeball a diet & be really sure of what they are getting in there & how much. When you know your total calsl & your macro break down, then you know what you are talking about.

Its been my bible since I lost my food counts book in my move in 2003. I've been counting my macro ratios since 2000!

It is soo eye-opening as to what you are really eating if you have never really quantified it!
