Hi Guys ,A brief run down off my stats:-

36 years old ,6'5" ,229lbs ,18%bf ,been bodybuilding for 6 years on and off ,started at 161lbs with very low bodyfat gained a lot of muscle size but gained a bit to much bf while bulking over the years and I feel now its time to get that ripped look.

I have read and read and read posts from this board for over a year now and found some very valuable info.

Today is my 1st day of an 8 weeks cutting phase. I have posted my diet below and would welcome any critisism and help in getting it right.

6.45am - Glass of water with 1 tsp glutamine and handfull pf bcaa's

7.14am - 40 mins treadmill

8.00am - 1 cup oats ,1 banana ,1tbsp flaxoil ,8 eggwhites ,blend & chug
multivits ,vit c ,fishoil caps.

10.45am -mrp shake , 1 banana

1.15pm - 1 large chick breast ,2 slices wholegrain bread ,salad ,1 piece fruit.

4.00pm - 1 can tuna ,1 slice wholgrain bread ,1 piece fruit.

6.30pm - pre workout - mrp shake piece fruit.

7.00pm workout

8.15pm - post workout - mrp shake ,1tsp glutamine ,flax & fishoil caps.

9.15pm - 1 large chick breast ,1 large cup veggies.

11.30 - 300g of cottage cheese ,25g almonds.

Plenty of water throughout day.


Ive got plenty of experience in bulking but this is the 1st time I've ever tried to cut fat and keep as much muscle as I can in 8 weeks , I wouold appreciate any help I can get from the Vets on this board.

Many Thanks
 
U need to work out macros, how many calories etc and give us more info. This looks like a fair bit of food for futting.

Personally, get rid of the bread, and cut the fruit. You shouldn't be having 4 fruits (particularly 2 bananas), bread when cutting, nor MRP's, and that much cheese pre-bed is tad excessive.

Wholegrain bread is rarely that wholegrain.

Also, for breafkast remove the fats - keep ur fats/carbs separate.

And i think (which it looks like) ur doing the egg whites rocky style? This is a waste of protein (bioavailabiltiy of raw eggs < cooked eggs)

Hi Sim, thanks for the response. Do I replace the bread with another form of Carb ,ie wholegrain rice ,veggies or salad instead of fruit ,cook the eggwhites ,and take the flaxoil etc with just protein. Also could i replace the mrp's with just a straight whey powder ,and how much cottage cheese do you advise??
 
It depends on how low carb u want to be.

Wholegrain rice may be better yep, or u could cut more aggresively with a s salad. Cook the whites. Move the flaxseed yep to a protein meal.

The things with MRP's is often the carb sources aren't the best. U could take just straight whey with flax or some natural carb.

As for cheese, it depends on how high protein the cheese is? If it's one of those 12% ones 300 grams is fine - just most cheeses in AUS are 30% protein, and u don't need more than 40 prebed

You could use nutritiondata.com; fitday.com; cronometer to workout ur cal count and macros

I didnt want to cut my carbs out to quick for now hence the bread (now rice) ,I will give it a few weeks then cut carbs to very low. The cottage cheese has 33g of protein per 300g ,i will drop to 200g which with the almonds will give me around 25g of prot before sleep.

Thanks again Sim your advice has been very helpful.
