well, I'm not one of the vet posters here, but, I would say your calories are too low for your bodyweight. If I were you, I would start at 3000 calories of clean food @ least.

Yep, way to low for a big man. You'll be in starvation mode in no time on that diet. Better get your cals up bro. 3000 to start, give that a while and then get back with us with results of 3-4 weeks and we'll help you tweak it from there. Good luck.

Oh yeah, way too much chicken. You better get some variety or you'll never be able to stick to it long term.

P.S. If your looking for a quick solution to get ripped up for the summer, sorry but all those commercials are just lies.

Too low for you.

try instead:

Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat

2.497 Kcal
281 gr Prot
156 gr Carb
83 gr Fat

Thu, Sun:
3.032 Kcal
265 gr Prot
379 gr Carb
51 gr Fat


With this you will be zig-zagging cals which is much better than straight reduction.

Eat more real food and less shakes, also, as already said, up the fat with flax. Veggies never hurt anybody...

You are big dude, so you cannot go around eating like a little girl, right???

Thanks everybody for the replies, I truly appreciate it

Leanonme- Im def not looking to just get ripped up for summer, that remark came out of left field but im not trying to half ass this for a measly 2 months of a year

Pintoca- Much thanks on the reply, your results from cutting have been great dude and you show all the hard work youve put into it.

I'll def up the cal's and get some flax oil and some healthy fats in there along with veggies and brown rice at night to ease away the carbs.

Once again much appreciation on the opinions. Take it easy

I think for the most part everything is good in these diets except on the high cal days the fat is at 128.3grams, I know its only 2 days of the week but still not 100% positive if this is sufficient in my case. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Overall looks good, Im not sure what time you are looking to go to bed, but my only suggestion is to try and arrange your meals so cals/carbs taper off at nite, when your metabolism slows.

 

[viciousness]

bed at about 12 at night so Im thinking that should be a perfect amount of time (3-4 hours) for my body to burn the rest up and be settled by the time I get to sleep

 

[coeus]

i would probably cut some cals from your last meal and have a small snack before bed, some casein protein, to keep your body anabolic while you sleep
