My diet...ulter, macro, x

[jmt24]

since my goal is to drop under 10% bf by the end of my cycle, im def goin to need to have my diet in check. my current diet is ~2500-2900 cals per day (50%/25%/25%). As I've been reading more, I've learned that cycling my calories and carbs may be beneficial. My BMR according to one of the calculators is 3500 at my current activity level. Starting on Sunday, my new calories will day will be
day1-3000
day2-2800
day3-2600
day4-2500
day5-2500
day6-2600
day7-2800

#1)Hows does that look?? My off days are sat(day7) and sun (day1). #2)Not sure if i should start day 1 during the week so that my off days will be when im eating only 2500?

I also read about the importance of separating carbs and fats. my meals will now be protein & fat or protein & carbs.

also, here is my most common diet. let me know if i should change my pre workout meal/shake. not sure which is better.

700-drive to work 1/4cup cottage cheese 1%

815-ww bagel with 8 egg whites

1045-6oz chicken breast, broccoli

130-5 oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1/2 cup brown rice

345-pre workout muscle milk shake (2 scoops + water)

415-530-workout

545-pwo shake with 32g protein, bcaas and 30g dex.

645-6oz chicken breast or tuna, broccoli, 1/2 cup rice

930-1 cup eggwhites, 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese

with this its 2240 cals; (55, 25, 20) but this isnt exact. just a sample of what it will somewhat looks like. I'll need to bump up the cals a tiny bit #3) What would you guys change about it?

Sorry bout the long post guys. hope to hear some good feedback.

For a suggestion, did you try to fit in ANPB anywhere?

1 tbsp. of ANPB (of the kind I have is) 4g protein, 3g carb, 8g fat, 105 calories


I have 1 tbsp of it twice per day in my cutting diet

 

[jmt24]

when do you eat it. im thinkin bout adding it to my nightly meal before bed. prob have ~2 tbs. this will help slow the absorption of the protein and prevent me from goin catabolic.

I have 1 tbsp with breakfast in my bowl of oatmeal and one 1 tbsp at dinner.

Are you training for a contest?

What I mean is, do you wish to stay below 10% bf for a prolonged period of time? Or is that a target you are hoping to reach in preperation for a show or other event?

#1)Hows does that look?? My off days are sat(day7) and sun (day1).

where is your refeed?

#2)Not sure if i should start day 1 during the week so that my off days will be when im eating only 2500?

again, where is your refeed? I don't see it in the diet. You should have a weight x 20 refeed at least once a week.

I also read about the importance of separating carbs and fats. my meals will now be protein & fat or protein & carbs.

you didn't read it from me, search my posts on this topic

i am not training for a contest, its just a goal that id like to reach and maintain.

i appreciate the critique of my diet x, just what i was looking for. my weight is 225, so i should take in 4500 cals one day per week. do you have any suggestions as per which day this should be. does it matter if its on an off lifting day. i guess i was mistaken about separating fats and carbs. something about your body storing more fat when you consume them together. thats what i thought i read, but like i said, im prob mistaken. since my bmr is around 3500, is 2500-2700 cals per day sufficient or too much for cutting. again, thanks for all your help X.

also, when you say eggwhite/whey mix, do you mean eggwhites? and with the whey, is regular whey or whey isolate better? ill just continue to make brownies out of the muscle milk. they come out pretty damn good 290 cals 19g protein/13g carbs/12 g fat. i usually eat them before bed.
