Diet check: Need less fats? Good enough as is ? ughhh... trying to cut

[burnthiscorpse]

**** Please note fat content changes below. I made a mistake initially****

So I started a strict cut diet monday. Not a competitor just need to get the BF% down before next cycle. Well...maybe not a balls to the wall cutting diet but clean. No spices, sugars, dairy ect . I know there are more carbs in here than would be ideal most likely. I plugged all my numbers into Fitday and this is what I came up with....this is an average day. I have no issues eating the same thing over and over.
6'0" 239 apx 18-19%. This is a guess, I am holding a little love handle area fat, some lower belly(not much), and some bothersome bottom/side pec fat. Shoulders are lean, have veins in my delts, arms are pretty lean, have bicep veins under my tattoos, see top 4 ab outlines so its hard to estimate. I know I could easily drop 15 lb of water and fat.

This is my routine:

(150mg test C cruising, TB500 6 week load just finished, now on 1x month)

100mcg Ipamorelin and 50mcg T4 right after waking up. wait 1hr before eating(will be adding 30-40 min cardio to fill this fasted hour in a couple days)

Meal 1 : 1 cup liquid egg whites/ 1 scoop whey/ 1 cup unsweetened almond milk/ 1 cup raw oats

**( take D3, C, E, large B complex, 3g flax oil, Cranberry extract, Lipid stabil, 3 unleashed)

Meal 2 : 7 oz grilled chicken breast

Meal 3 : 7 oz grilled chicken / 1 cup raw oats mixed with 1/4 cup choc almond milk (5g sugars)

Gym (usually here or after meal 4) ( sip on 10 g BCAA and 40 g carbs)

Meal 4 : PWO shake, 60g Hydro Whey(in water), 10 g BCAA

Meal 5 (hour after PWO shake) : 9oz grilled chicken 1 cup oats mixed w/ 1/4 cup almond milk (5.5g sugars)

**( take C, E, D3, B complex, 3g flax oil, cranberry extract)

Meal 6 : 7 oz grilled chicken.

Wait 60-90 min post meal 6, pin 100mcg Ipamorelin and go to bed.

*****************************************************************

You will notice there are no veggies in there. Thats because I cant stand the taste of veggies. Sorry kids. Substitutions are made on proteins, such as salmon, red meat, tuna ect. Carb substitutions could be quinoa, rice, red potatoes(not often on potatoes)ect...
I know eating veggies and sweet potatoes would help, but sorry no can do. I also know red meat and salmon arent cutting food. Usually the most frequent sub would be salmon on maybe 3-5 meals a week. I love salmon, I would eat it every day if price permitted.

Here is what fit day tells me on the above posted sample day NOT including apx 20g sugars from almond milk:

Total Calories: 2798

Fat: 45g (396.5 fat cals)

Carbs: 162.8 (671 carb calories)

Protein: 413.5 (1701 protein calories)

Its not a true "cutting" diet in the least. I'd say carbs are 60g too high and fat is at least 30 g too high. Based on estimated LBM im actually 400-500 cals surplus. I know I'm kinda answering my own questions here and at this diet I'll accomplish more recomp than straight cut. But I wanted input anyways. Only 3 days in, still dialing in.

The ratio is 61/24/14 (pro/carb/fat)


Comments, suggestions, ect???

Oats dropped to 2 servings of sugar free instant 1 @ breakfast 1@ PWO meal starting tomorrow.

Almond milk dropped completely (unsweetened and choc both) starting tomorrow except .5 cup of unsweetened in the a.m. instead of 1 cup.

Carbs will be at 100g or less from now on.

Adding a pre workout protein shake with water so total protein will be around 450g daily.

Broccoli would be one of the easiest to mask any taste. Hopefully, you can eat cheese? Make a cheese sauce or a bechemel sauce (which is a white sauce, using cream. Of course, you could use half/half and I'm sure there's loads of low-cal recipes out there). It's divine. You/your wife should take baby steps to get you to enjoy vegs. Just like with kids, you gotta make em taste good, which usually means adding something sweet. Melt butter in pan, throw in some cooked carrrots w/salt/pepper and drizzle honey or maple syrup over them. Just a touch. I know this goes against your cutting calories and right now might not be the best time to do this but you will probably suffer big-time when you're old, if you don't start getting some fiber from veg. Colon stuff, etc. Hopefully you like fruit? Good luck.

I'm cutting bro. No salt, pepper, cream sauces, half and half, dairy, butter, cheese, maple syrup, honey......this is all poison for me bro. salt, bad fats, dairy, sugars....yeck bro. Not to mention I cant stand the taste of honey or maple.

I'm like a rat when it comes to cheese. But cant eat it and cut.

I take colon health supps bro. I'll be fine when i'm old. Hell, I'm already old.

What's the reasoning behind dropping the unsweetened almond milk? If I can ask hinders cut you heard?

The sweetened I am dropping. I didn't use much anyways. The unsweetened I am just cutting back. Just to keep the fat down. Yes I know its almond fat. But I would rather add some olive oil later in the day to my dry ass chicken.

 

[TheRippedReverend]

Makes sense. Almond milk is one of my go to but I use no olive oil. Walmart has a no fat olive oil in a spray can kinda pricey but u could look into it

Just seen your thread bro...subbed for sure.

I like the layout ,pity you dont like eating green shit....have you even considered blending steamed brocolli and water it down to a consistency whereby you can just skull it real quick .

i trained myself to drink raw eggs, said to myself its once a day and only takes 1 fminute...man the fuck up and do it. now i love the shit .
people say you shouldnt eat fruit on a cut ,but we know not all fruit is straight up high-GI insulin-spiking poison...the fibre is going to be necessary with all those high -protein shits you will be taking and the pectin can reduce and help stabilise blood sugar levels.

Those macros should see you shifting bf at a nice rate ,am cruising myself at the moment bro - in prep for next bulk...am doing some reading on LCLT in an effort to best prep AR's for the onslaught .

Subbed. Definitely interested in this. Columbo not to sound like an idiot but I thought eating raw egg whites was bad for you. Salmonella and what not. I was eating a shit ton of eggs over the past year but they make me gag now because I have eaten egg whites for every day

Drinking them would be soooo much better

you dont sound like an idiot bro,
to eat raw eggs or not to eat raw eggs has been much debated on nearly every forum out there.
Yes there are some risks to drinking raw eggs or unpasteurised bottles of egg whites...but a lot of guys - myself included continue to do so, i think the risk is minimal .

same thing when it comes to the other big "egg question" for every case study or clinical trial that shows biovailabilty to be poor in comparison to cooked eggs there is one to try and disprove /disagree with it.

sorry for the hijack BTC

I took a bunch of before pics yesterday. But no one gets to see them until I have an "after" (pre cycle) to show for it. What happens between today and Dec 1 will decide whether I cycle, what type of cycle or cut another month semi natty.
If I have made satisfactory results but still feel I need to cut more then I will do option 1)

Continue cutting on 150mg cruise/GHRH and add 8 weeks of tren A EOD.

If I have not made satisfactory results by 12/1 or just want to hold off til Jan then I will continue cutting another 4-5 weeks as is.

If I cut semi natty til jan and I am very happy with my results then I will do cycle option 2

150mg cruise along with 100mg test P and tren A EOD for 8 weeks. Along with(for weeks 5-8) switching GHRH to 200mcg pre workout with 100mcg CJC 40 min pre workout. Then also 10iu of "special sauce" 15 min pre workout. This would technically be a bulker but very lean. With the special sauce and the regular cycle I would expect around 20 lb of freaky mass in 8 weeks.
