Is this a good cutting plan?

[mutigers42]

I am as of this morning: 187.6 lbs, at 5'8. My body fat is roughly 8%. I am a noob on this forum and just wanted to give my diet plan for the day for a lifting day and wondering what people thought because it has taken me a while to make it and I have a slightly altered for cardio day but only on the times I eat the food, the food is generally the same. I am VERY dedicated to diet and exercise, i NEVER cheat the diet, workout etc. any thoughts are welcome. I can see half of the 6 pack, just not the lower, everything else basically has not much fat at all even in the slightest. i just basically want to cut until the full 6 pack. even if that involves losing weight with as little muscle lost. I use no supplements really besides protein shakes with water, never tried steroids, don't plan on it. I can also list the nutritional info of all the food below - salt is never added to anything. I stick to the same thing every day really, but at the same time im happy with that and don't cheat. any suggestions are helpful

The plan listed below is for to lose about 0.5-1.0 lb a week. I write everything down in a general, which calories, fat, sodium, carbs, fiber, protein is listed. the full count of calories and protein/fat/carb below is exact for this plan - the bread listed is healthy life choice low carb (8g per slice) 100% wheat. the oatmeal is quaker weight control oatmeal - 29g carbs, 1g sugar, 6g fiber - 7g protein.

i workout 6 days a week btw

cardio is a tabata type workout but a harder modified version.

3 min warmup

6x20 seconds with 10 second break

1 min break

6x20 seconds with 10 second break

1 min break

6x20 seconds with 10 second break

5 min cool down.


normal tabata is simply the 8x20, i was dead tired at the end but extremely in shape and about a min later was ready to go again really. my resting heart rate is about a 47 at the moment. i personal train at a local gym.

just want to do everything right, and will give all i got into it. just would like any suggestions.

lifting is 3 times a week also. usually go till fail reps, 5 sets of each. usually go chest/back, triceps/biceps, and legs/shoulders. 4 lifts of each category so about 8 lifts in each session, with the routine above. i like switch up the types of lifts as often as possible
