Please Help With My Cutting Diet!

[dick1121]

well i think i finally have everything in check as far as my plan to cut as much bodyfat as possible. ill list below my diet/ supplement plan. this is just an example of an average day. any suggestions or feedback are much appreciated.

by the way my stats are 5'10, 185 lbs, and i am probably in the 13% bodyfat range.

9:00 am- 5 egg whites, 1 slice wheat bread, 2 big cups of water, multivitamin, 250mg ala

11:00 am- myoplex shake, 250 mg ala

1:00 pm- chicken breast, 1 slice wheat bread, 2 cups water, 250mg ala

4:00 pm- 1 can drained tuna, salad, 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups water, 250mg ala (i consider this my pre workout meal)

5:00 pm- (weight training for 40 minutes)

6:00 pm- post workout shake (2 cups whey protein, 45grams dextrose) 2 cups water, 5g creatine, 5g glutamine

7:00 pm- chicken breast, 2 cups steamed brocolli, 1 cup brown rice

9:00 pm- one can drained tuna, one slice wheat bread, 250mg ala, 2 cups water

11:00 pm- two scoops whey protein with 8 oz skim milk, 250mg ala

sleep, then repeat

so there it is. i just have a few more questions and i think im good

i have flax seed oil. which meals should i take it with, and how much each time?

i am thinking about taking cla along with the other supplements i am currently taking. would this be a good idea?

i am currently taking creatine after workouts to hold onto as much muscle as possible. i do not really mind the bloat from it. will this have adverse affects on fat loss?

my main goal is to lose as much bodyfat as possible while still maintaining most if not all of my muscle. thank you in advance for your answers!

You should add some healthy fats to just about every meal except post-workout. Definitely add some to a protein source prior to bed (lose the milk from that 11pm meal and use water instead). I would save the creatine for mass building, although I doubt it will hamper fat-loss.

As a caveat...and you may be aware of this....but you will be hard pressed to maintain all of your muscle mass while dropping bodyfat (especially without chemical assistance). In my experience, it's just not a realistic expectation.

Forget the bread and brown rice. Stick to oatmeal and yams for carbs. Make sure you have enough healthy fats.

Brown rice is OK but 2 times/day might be a tad too much. ONe can only eat so many yams.

Anyway, if the carb coun is in check, it is OK.

for cutting, a ratio of 20-30% fat works for most people. To translate that into flax it depends on how many cals you take per day...

a rule of thumb, without getting too complicated, would be some 2 tbsp per day (I have 2-3)

I take mine in the morning with breakfast and in the evening after WO... with my last meal

Try and not to mix it with any simple carbs you might have.

Speak for yourself! I can never get tired of yams!! I am currently eating around 6-7 per day.

Yeah, I don't know why one could only eat so many yams. Yams and oatmeal are the lowest GI carbs and the best for dieting. I have all my clients eat them and they are happy campers. Brown rice causes lots of problems for many people.

Well, I get tired of eating the same carbs all the time... so I add a little variety to things... that is all, nothing against yams... it's teh same way I would be fed up of rice of bread or any other thing.
