need a lean mass diet!

[Dieharder]

I have bulked up to 235lbs, and around 15-16%bf (im 6'2) and would like to just eat cleaner while throwing in some cardio to lean out a little bit. I need a diet that is a bit cleaner.
Here are some things i will not do (i am fucking stubborn):
1. plain oats-ive tried them, i hate them, they make me want to puke, ive tried every manner of consuming them, even just dumping cups in my mouth and washing it down, and they always come back up)
2. I dont want to give up milk-i love milk dammit!
3. I used to live off tuna, now the smell and thought of it makes me yearn for a puke bag, so no tuna.
4. i hate spending too much money, so it needs to be as cheap as possible

ok, some other information, im not carb sensitive, im not going low carb or doing some stupid ckd-atkins-just eat peanut butter diet, i enjoy eating real food and whole grain wheat bread for that matter. Im not looking to get ultra shredded either, just drop some fat that has accumulated (maybe get down to 11% and ill be happy)

im doing a 5x5 split, and would like to keep gaining strength gradually, i also will be doing cardio (moderate intensity) for 30-45min 3 days a week.

i will also being starting a test prop/fina cycle next week (500mg test, 100mg fina eod) and i from what i hear fina helps burn some fat for some people.

I wake up around 11-noon everyday, and go to sleep around 3am every night (im in college and i waiter at night). workouts are generally around 1-2pm, and i take a postworkout shake of 70 grams whey with about 75 grams of dextrose.

KARMA for anyone who can help me out with this, even just giving me certain food i should buy, etc.

Try oats mixed with applesauce. I've eaten this every morning for about 2 years now. Other than that I eat mostly tuna, so all I can say is buy chicken stir fry and a bag of frozen broccoli. Throw it together in a pot and cook it in the oven. Makes about 3 servings of nice late night meals.

Also, cottage cheese. I can't stand the stuff, but mixed with peaches I can tolerate it. OneRep told me about it and says the casein protein keeps you from catabolizing over night if you eat it before bed.

oats with applesauce? maybe ill try it since i have a monstrous box of oats left over, but ive tried everything to make them taste good(adding cinnamon, splenda) but it just wont work. Broccoli i can tolerate, stir fry as well. More suggestions anyone? I really want to put together a nice solid diet.

I hated alot of foods when I first started lifting like egg whites, tuna and oatmeal. But they are 3 of the best things for you with low fat to boot. You just gotta man up and eat it. Dont think just do it. I just fill my bowl of oatmeal up with hot water and take it scoop by scoop and wash it down immediately with a sip of water. Same thing with tuna and egg whites.

I don't like oatmeal either...one way I've found that makes it actually enjoyable is to add the oats to a shake......

for example - 2 cups milk, one cup oats, 1 or 2 scoops protien, 2 tablespoons peanut butter......blend it up....you really can't taste the oats because they get ground up so fine.


You could just put milk and oats in the blender and drink it as a meal.

the oats dont get stuck at the bottom? sounds like a good idea man, thanks

well if you let it sit for a while then yes, they would. but if that is a prob just dump it back in the blender and mix it back up.


make sure you let it blend for a good while to make the oats as fine as possible.

How much cottage cheese are you eating to get 60g of protein out of that meal?
