Trouble w/ cutting diet

[The Iotola]

Everything started off great, but it seems things have stalled a bit. In the mirror im looking leaner after my bulking cycle, but the scale doesnt show it.


My meals are:


1: 6 Egg whites + 1 slice of whole wheat

2: 1 cup of oats + whey protien shake

-- workout--

3: PWO Shake. (30% Maltodextrin, 30% Dextrose, 25% Hydrolyzed Whey Protein High Grade, 10% Glutamine Peptides, 5% Branched Chain Amino Acids)

4: 1 chicken breast cooked on a cast iron skillet w/ 1 table spoon of oil. + broccoli. + flax seed caps

5: same as 4

6: either fruit, cottage cheese & protien shake before bed.

----
Cardio after weights for 35-40 min, high pace walk on 7.0 incline.

What do you guys think.

anything?

cut out the breads and fruit...esp. prebed....switch your oats to your first meal and move your second meal preworkout to pro/fat not pro/carb...trust me...

looking leaner.... but scale doesn't show it?

If you've got something to prove to the scale... muscle weighs more than fat, drop some muscle

DO NOT go by the scale. Please.

You said you look leaner that's not good enough?

No idea what your stats are, can't say much.

How do you measure your progress? (OTHER than the scale)

Do you take Pics?

Get your body fat done?

What do you do for training?

Stats?

yeah...f the scale bro....mirrors and pics are your best friend

no fruit or oats before bed like jkurz said

also, after you lift are you doing cardio right away and then drinking your pwo shake?? or lifitng...then drinking the shake and then finally cardio for 30-40 minutes?

make sure your getting that pwo shake in right afte you workout...i drink mine on the treadmill or sip during workout

one slice of whole wheat toast in the am is not a problem at all just check the label and make sure the first ingredient is 100% stoneground wheat...I do however agree with the no fruit before bed

thx guys appreciate it, I workout heavy 6 days week and do cardio 5.
Im at 245 w/ roughly 13% bf. I want to get down to 10 if possible.

I'll try to cut out the one slice of whole wheat with my egg whites, but will stick to the cup of oats before working out for energy. I know what your saying slaughter with not relying on the scale, and got that out of my head.

This diet is about as bland and clean as I can make it, so hopefully only time will tell....and Bunny, due to my severe ADD i cannot calculate everything I eat into fitday because I start toget lost

The only fruit I eat is watermelon, I read an article in MD that it promotes fat loss.

everything looks great if you ask me.. as the others said I would cut out the carbs and fruit before bed.. actually your diet is very identical to mine and I've noticed great gains in bodyfat reduction .. AND i have the same 'problem' with the scale staying the same !!! although I do throw in a higher carb day every 4-5 days (depending on how my body is feeling through my workouts)...I think you have nothing to worry about, just keep up the good work..
