Diet that was designed for me.. Opinions?

[Liamh]

Hi, i'll give a few stats i'm 5.7 and 224lbs. I have a 4pac. And I was thinking of cutting down to a full 6pac before I began my next Bulk and cycle. I thought that would help stop any estrogen problems and I could get a more "clean bulk" rather then cut aftewords especially i'll be on cycle.. Anyway.

My cousin offered to help me out. He's been involved in bodybuilding for as longer then me as he's quite abit older. I started at 13. He started at 15 but he's 28. He competes obviously I wont give a name but at this current time we went on the scales. He is 5.10 and 287lbs. A full 6 pac as he's just got off a cut so he's holding quite alot of muscle. Now I know steroids play abig part in his routine. But I really do believe DIET plays a bigger role then any amount of juice can play. He eats 8 times a day and offered to do me a routine that he said would be good for losing mass while keeping muscle/strength. But when he's done me the diet it looks kind of funky... He told me the fat content would be high and carbs low but surely not this low? or the fat so high? I cant really argue with him because he is a big guy and does look Good. And it cant be genetics because he was a fat shit at 18 lol.. (I've seen the pictures) And he use to train alot then so.. Without further adue here is the diet how does it look?

Oh and first i'd like to note the only Supplements i'm using on this would be.

Fish oil with every meal. And cod liver oil. The rest is all diet.

it looks like an ok cut diet to me. its kind of hard for someone to say what will work for another person but it seams good. see what happens.

Not good in my opinion. It's a clean diet, but WAY too many cals for you to cut. You'd be eating somewhere pretty close to your maintenance calories.

At some point you are going to have to make much bigger cuts in your calories.

I've lost favor with total linear diets, like this. They just aren't effective in the long run, and not very effective in the short run either.

If you really want to shred down, you need throw linearity out the window. You need a cyclical plan. Something that takes in to account your training regimen. I believe all diet should be based on training.

Create different deficits every day. Create different macro ratios every day.

Also, there's other green vegetables besides broccoli.

Just sayin'.

I agree. The diet is great. next to no carbs, high "good" fats, and high protein is where its at to cut. However, I also agree that if you are 224 then 3500cal would actually be enough calories to gain muscle and bulk somewhat. NOT lose fat.
I went through all the calculations for myself to cut and it was 3100 calories and I am 265 lbs. Seems to me you should be around the 2500 calorie area. Or there abouts.

it does seem like a lot for most. for me it would not be to much food. if this is less than what was being eaten before the start of the cut then it will be effective to some digree. as the diet goes more food will need to be removed. starving yourself from day one will definately result in more muscle loss than a constand mild decrease in cals. without a lot of steroid help i prefer this method. of course if you have a show in 3 months and want to get to 4% you will need a lot of help and a huge cut in cals.
