Drop the bread opt for brown rice cakes instead. Also on the nuts go with almonds and walnuts. For cutting you should be eating 10Xbodyweight so keep the calories in around 1600. Can you give us a break down of your diet meals etc as well as what you are doing for training. Welcome to Elite

For fat loss, foods that can help are...

Carbs:
brown rice
oatmeal
potatoes
yams
green vegetables
unrefined whole grains

however, you should avoid: white bread, pasta, bagels, fruit sugars, milk sugar, sweets, cakes, cookies, energy bars, sports drinks and soft drinks

For protein that can help:
chicken
turkey breast
any fish or sea food
whey protein
tuna
soy protein isolate

but you should avoid: ground beef, all types of beef steaks, deli meats

For fat try getting a supplement that contain essential fatty acids (EFAs) - (omega3-6-9) so that you get your fats from healthy sources

For water as a minimum you should consume an amount greater than or equal to .66 times your body weight.

Hope this helps

trysohard, have you tried HIIT training? Incorporate that into your workouts - it should help a lot!

Although I agree with Nikkita on most of the foods she listed, I will not give up red meat AS LONG as it's LEAN. Cut the fat off and don't eat it. As far as ground meat, I cook mine until there is no liquid left in the skillet. Some people even put it in a strainer and rinse it.

Your best bet is to go with fresh green veggies, sweet potatoes, ground beef or turkey and eggs. Because you have limited funds for food, you're going to get tired of it very quickly, but if you want it bad enough - you'll keep eating it.

Don't buy premade sports drinks or protein drinks. Buy powdered protein drinks and mix with water. Try not to eat anything processed - boxed meals, canned meals, cheeses, or sauces. A little salad dressing won't hurt, but use light (not fat free because it's LOADED with carbs).

Do cardio of 30-45 minutes at least 3x per week and lift weights 3-4x per week. Make sure you're lifting enough weight so that your last couple reps are difficult.

We need exact exercises, the weight you use, how many reps you do and the number of times a week you do them. We also need your exact foods, amount you eat and how often you eat - yes - it's a lot of work, but it pays off! Start logging all your food in fitday. www.fitday.com
