Just finished my Cutter, Need help adjusting Cardio/diet

[JoNeS]

I just finished up 20 weeks of dieting madness. I was doing cardio everyday for 45mins in the AM. Since I am currently off the shit I wanted to know how much should I tone back the cardio just to maintain my 6 pack and lean muscle mass?

Diet throughout cycle was

1/2 cup oatmeal 40 g protein

6oz chickne 1 baked potato

6oz chicken 1/2 cup brown rice

6oz chickecn 1/2 cup wheat pasta

40g protein

Should I keep the diet the same? How much should I lay off the cardio so I can maintain lean muscle mass?

damn im trying to cut as well (26yrs old 19%BF, 208lbs 5'6)..my workout split cardio mon, wed, fri (45 min cardio) and tues chest/back, thurs legs/delts, sat arms. food looks like this
5am - cardio
8am- 5 eggs scrambled (1 whole) cup of oats
1030 - protein shake mixed in water 1 scoop 22g of protein
1230 - 1 can tuna and broccoli or 4 pieces chicken tenders (boiled only)
330 - protein shake mixed in water 1 scoop
600 - 630 - 4 pieces chicken tenders w/salad
9pm or 10 - protein shake mixed in water 1 scoop

on my lifting days the only difference is that i wake up at 330 and have a slice of 100% whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter. and after the training session have a pwo shake w/2 scoops of protein powder mixed in non fat milk and i have that right after so around 6am then have my regular meal at 8am
Im trying to get down to 14-15% how does that look??

Its tough to say, you might just want to keep eating the same meals and not doing any cardio and see where that leaves you. If its not enough food, eat more and mix in cardio maybe 2-3 days not 6-7.

I wouldn't cut back to less than 30 min 3x a week, keep that diet in check.

This is solid advice. Stick with your same routine and diet, but cut back on the cardio like Slyder said. If you see yourself putting on more bodyfat than you want to, then increase the amount. What was your cycle, by the way?? What bodyfat did you start and end with??

I fucked up my cycle big time, i just couldn't eat healthy. I did my cardio sessions, i just couldn't manage to stick to my diet. I started off 6ft 200lbs with barely the top 2 abs visible when flexed. I'm now 185lbs, with a visible 6 pack when flexed. The abs are still soft and the cuts arent very deep, but it's better than where I started.


cycle was 400mg of eq weeks 1-20. 25mg oral winny weeks 6-10. Clen weeks 6-24
