My Cutting Die (Please Review)

[MoneyManMichael]

I'm 6'2, 220lb, 24 years old
I do Insanity, lift weights 5x a week, and work a job where i'm on my feet most the day.

My BMR is 2200

2200x1.6 = 3500

to lose 1lb/wk you have to create a calorie deficit of 500 cal/day

I want to lose 2lb so I have created a calorie deficit of 1000k a day, being 2500 calories.

I have done research and found that a P/C/F 50/30/20 Split is good for cutting, so this is the diet I have come up with.

2465 Calories
335g Protein
191g Carbs
70g Fat

Meal #1
Whey Protein
Banana

Meal #2
6" Subway Club Dbl Meat
Whey Protein

Meal #3
6" Subway Club Dbl Meat

Meal #4
Whole Wheat Bun
Ground Turkey

Meal #5
Whole Wheat Bun
Ground Turkey

Meal #6
8 oz Chicken Breast

Meal #7
Tilapia


I hope it's okay that I chose so much whole wheat bread, I really don't like brown rice, or sweet potatoes.. like at all and they are an inconvenience to cook...

PLEASE! Any comments/advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

If your looking to cut, first thing I wld do is defiantly cut out the bread..oats, rice, yam/sweet potatoes are a far better choice for carb intake. Secondly ditch subway not only for the bread but all there meats are really high in sodium..if you don't like the taste of brown rice try adding spices when it's boiling or maybe some lemon, and with the sweet potatoes baking them with ground cumin, coriander and sweet paprika they soooooo good trust me lol.. if they are a hassle to cook just find the time to be prepared with your meals like cook in bulk for the week... also try and always eat whole foods instead on relying on shakes

Having your carbs in the morning and around your workouts is a good way to utilise them when cutting just my two cents and what has work for me..

Example diet could look like this

Meal 1 50g oats, 10 egg whites, 1 whole egg

Meal 2 chicken, tilapia, ground turkey and 2 cups of green veg, small amount of nuts

Meal 3 (pre workout) chicken, ground turkey etc, 125g brown rice/ sweet potatoes

Post workout shake..50g whey 80g - 100g dextrose

Meal 5 same as meal but with 50g of sweet potatoes

Meal 6 8 egg whites, casein shake/cottage cheese and a cup of spinach

Just a rough setup

looks good - but if fat loss isn't as expected - remember: most people overestimate their intake and underestimate their maintenance calories. Adjust your deficit as needed during the cutting phase. Unfortunately all calories mentioned are just estimates and you have to do your best to modify as time goes (and weight drops).
