Opinions On My Revised Cutting Diet....

[tzan]

....With a lot of help from someone on this board I think I have finally constructed a good diet. I'm currently 5'11 216lbs about 11% bf. My goals are to get down to 8% bf and maintain as much size as possible. I'm also running 60mg var/500mg eq for 12 weeks.

meal 1-protein shake/oats(360cals/27carb/46protein)
meal 2-chicken/potato(440cals/27carbs/68protein)
meal 3-post workout protein shake(210cals/69protein)
meal 4-chicken/rice(365cals/44carbs/34protein)
meal 5-8 hard boiled eggs/2tbspn peanut butter(320cals/26protein/32fat)
meal 6-protein shake/1tb flax/1tb peanut butter(435cals/46protein/30fat)

total-2130 cals/98 carbs/289 protein/ 62 fat

I take 1 r-ala pill 20minutes before meal 2 and meal 4 for carbs and I take 2 in the morning at 2 at night to protect my liver.

Lift 4 out of 7 days a week and do some sort of cardio at least 3 times a week. Any criticism welcomed. Do you think I have enough protein??

Im pretty sure the first thing your gonna hear is that you need to reduce the amount of protein shakes your taking. literally half of your meals are shakes. you might try replacing the middle meal with something like tuna? Something high in protein, since im guessing you take the shake at that time after workout. I dunno, just a suggestion. Nvm, i just saw that i was right, that is is a post workout shake ( lol dont read enuf!). I would really suggest tuna, as it is so high in protein, unless you cant handle the taste. Also some carbs since it is post workout.

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, I REALLY hate tuna. My "meal 3" is my post workout shake that is taken literally minutes after I'm done lifting. Then a half hour later is when I have my meal 4 w/carbs. How does the overall count of cals/carbs/prot/fats look??

yeah i understand, i dont especially like tuna either -_- but i bear wit it lol. Um, a half hour after seems fine to me, i think most people have their own opinion on how late to take protein/carbs after workout...that whole window deal. The amount of protein/carb/fat looks great to me, id just say find a way to do it using actual food, if possible. good luck man, bump for ya
