how does this look?

I actually recalculated everything. I took the leap and bought the fitday pc edition. I was able to enter foods with more accuracy.
cals are 1898
fats: 35 g
carbs: 158 g
protein: 244 g

Looks a little better.
Any suggestions on foods that are high in proteins but low in fats and cals?

Are you going to do a 40/30/30 plan?? I found that easy to live with the first time I tried cutting.....

Basically: lots of egg whites (ie meal 1), chicken breast, Tilapia or other whitefish, turkey burgers (all white meat - I get mine at Costco).....

Edit: Here's a link to my first journal....might get some meal ideas in there as I was just "cutting" and not cutting for a competition....

I cannot remember how much you weigh, but in MY opinion, I think you are taking in too much protein and carbs. Your cals seem a tad bit high, but again, I cannot remember your current weight .

Typically, protein is about 1-1.5g per lb BW for females.

The ones you stand on??

Pfft!! I have one & on the DAY OF my competition (with a 6 pack no less!!) it showed me still at 24% bf!!!!!! Those things are WAYYYYY off!!

Guys - please --- when you are talking about using the bioimpedance scales you CANNOT ABSOLUTELY CANNOT compare them to a caliper bodyfat measure -they do NOT measure the same thing and comparing the two are meaningless. The only ABSOLUTE measure of your bodyfat will be w/ a hydrostatic / dunk tank measure.

I just want to be real clear about those stupid bioimpedance scales because they have enough sources in variance in themselves but trying to discuss a measurement on these and then feeling like they are "way off" is just not even applicable -- they do not measure the same thing as a caliper measure. Not to mention that the higher number can actually make you feel worse about your bodyfat if that's what you are measuring and someone else is thinking in terms of a caliper measure.
