PWOS Additional Calories?

[mm107]

Im currently on a cutting diet, hitting 2000 cals a day.
Now i was wondering, i have recently started going to the gym. Lifting 4x Cardio 5x.

After my workouts i drink my PWOS, 50% Whey, 25% Dextrose, 25% Maltrodextrin. This drink adds about 300 cals to my diet. Making it around 2300. I want to keep it around 2000 cals still. So should i adjust the Foods i eat during the day? Or should i not worry about it becauses its a PWOS?
Im just wondering.

Let me know guys thanks....

p.s. tO MAKE UP FOR THE cals, i substituted the PWOS(it falls around a meal time) Instead of a meal, but i dont want to keep doing this, But is this ok? If i dont consider this a meal i only ate 5 meals. With this PWOS as a meal i still hit 6 meals a day. I know real food is way better then shakes. This is why im asking.

nope, all calories count. If you want to eat 2000 cals per day you will need to reduce your other meals. (but do it evenly across all nutrients, don't just decide to eat one yam less or 1 tbsp less of oil: cut cals and recalculate macros)

Pintoca, since i usually eat 2 chicken breasts around 8 pm. I was figuring, Cut that down to 1, since i still have my protein in my Shake. Is that ok?

 

[pintoca]

the idea is ok, but a chicken breast is about 200 cals... you would still be 700 weekly over.

Ya your right, im going to see EXACTLY how much Cals the PWOS is, and calculate that in. Thing is i dont hit exactly 2000 cals/day. Always above 1950 so maybe that will give me some play room. It would probabbly be easier not eating the can of tuna i would i didnt have the PWOS. But no one recomends this right? im just wondering, because i really like my reuslts from this diet so far and they say whats not broken dont fix it, but hey i can always fix it up heh =]
