Review my cutting diet. Thanks!!

[yusoslo]

I am 6'1" 203lbs meso with a wide frame and used to work out a lot (230lbs 10% BF). I had a hernia and now after the operation I want to get back in shape but not muscle bound like I was. I am happy with my muscular build but need to drop some fat. I have a desk job and lift 2-3 times a week and go to Gold's Bodypump 2 times a week. My diet is prob the most important though.


7AM ON Whey Protein and skim milk
8:30AM - 1 packet of Organic Oatmeal with flax
10:30AM - 1OZ of roasted almonds (raw ones give me heart burn)
NOON - Pepridge farm whole weat with lean meat, cheese and mustard. (or a chicken or tuna salad sandwich)..........Cottage cheese
3:30 - Kashi Lean bar
Gym
8:00PM - Protein shake while dinner is cooking
Salad w. EVOO/Vin. Grilled chicken or salmon, once a week a steak.
Brown rice/vegetarian Baked beans and veggies.
10:30 Glass of wine
11:30 cottage cheese/natty pb

I also like to cheat and buy one bag of Seal salt and vinegar chips to munch on during the week. Should that be cut completely??

I cant determine if I should add one more bowl of oatmeal in the AM at 10:00 and shift my Almonds to after lunch 3:30-4:30 area.

Do I need more fat?

What are the Macros & cals on that ROUGHLY? fitday.com

IMO You can definitely choose less processed foods

Breads I'd go with whole grains
Meat - Stay away from prepackaged & deli if you can
Watch the bars
DO NOT DRINK WINE PWO WORKOUT if your goal is to CUT bodyfat, esp daily
$.02

Maybee I missed it but are you having a post workout shake?
It looks like you eat at 3:30 and than not again until after 8pm.
I would also try to get in more organic and fresh food instead of the processed
foods.
Looks good though, good luck.

hmm the only thing that looks processed to me is the lunch meat and cheese(Cracker barrel pre sliced cheese). Which I have 2 days a week, the rest is canned tuna and chicken for lunch. The oatmeal only has two ingrediants...oats and flax seed. I do agree about the kashi bar but they are good and aparantly good for ya.

Also is the post workout shake bad? The more I have read it seems that I should have the protein BEFORE I work out?? I have always done it afterwards. hmmmmm

about the time thing. I eat at 3:30 cause I eat lunch around 12:30. I leave work at 5:30 and am at the gym from 6-7 home at 7:30 and then start preparing dinner.

I already have a fitday account I am gonna fill it out now. I think I should be shooting for 2300 cal to be cutting. I believe my BMR for maintainance is 3100 cals.
