If you are gonna try and cut bf...definitively stay away from potatoes unless they are sweet potatoes. Mac and Cheese is nothing but high glycemic carbs so stay away from that. How many calories are you eating and whats your BMR? What kind of protein bars are you eating? Most of the store bought one are worthless because they are loaded with sugar.
