cutting diet essentials??

[stockyrocky]

I was wondering what the key foods to a great cutting diet are? I hear alot about flax seed, green tea, and obviously high protein. What about grapefruit? Any help is appreciated. THANKS

oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, greens
chicken, lean steak/ beef, fish
flax, efa, fish oil. natty ppb
grapefruit will be good in the morning and after working out.

The foods aren't as important as your calories and your macro breakdown.

nice pull! Sometimes I even forget to eat normally when cutting. Like Ulter said, it's a matter of the cals and how the macro's (protein/carbs/fat) break down. Use www.fitday.com to help you keep track. It's an excellent tool.

right now im at 350g of protein a day with 200-220 carbs and 50-75g fat. when i start leaning out i drop carbs to 100-150 and cut fat a bit

like Mr X said

macros

 

[big49ersfan]

1. calories
2. food choices
3. food timings
4. macro breakdown
5. micro breakdown


also cv very important the use of supplements helps if above are keyed

e.g.
1. acetyl-l-carntine
2. sesapure
3. glucorell
4. green tea, caffiene, guarna
5. ephedrine/ clen

the above will only do something if the first list are seen to IMO

 

[shrimp44]

What about Special K cereal?

 

[immortalis]

I dread when I start trying to cut. Dialing my diet in is going to be the most difficult thing for me, period.

seasoning and knowing how to cook. if i had to eat the same kind of chicken breast or steak everyday i would never make it. stock up on a couple diferent kinds so you can mix it up. i know they don't sell it everywhere but, Tony Chachere's is the best all around seasoning ever made. makes everything a little better.

I hate to do it, but I'm gonna have to agree with you 110% on this one.

 

[dr_skier]

Omega, can you elaborate please (i agree with you I too I think). Are we refering to insulin sensitivity etc?

When you say cut fat a bit do you mean drink skim milk instead of 2% and peanut butter is definitely not part of a cutting diet? thanks

Is it good to use creatine while cutting or while bulking on a cycle or both?

 

[dr_skier]

from what i hear creatine is fine both cutting and bulking (it's when you're getting down to like 5% it makes a diff).

Bump to Omega about your calorie comment

no prob! It's an excellent tool and I find it hard to believe everyone isn't using it. I mean if they have enough time to log on to EF and post crazy shit all day, why not take a few minutes and track your food intake, which will reap you more gains then most of the nonsense posted here.

You won't fine my PC on without fitday up. And to make things easier I have a PC in the kitchen as well!
