The cutting diet

[NewbieChris]

7:00 am - 40 g protein shake w/almond butter (1 tbsp), 1/2 cup oatmeal
10:30 am - 7oz of chicken, 1 cup green beans
2:00 pm - 7 oz of chicken, 1 cup green beans
5:30 pm - 1 scoop whey protein, , 1 slice wheat bread w/almond butter (1tbsp)
7:30 pm - 1 scoop whey
8:00 pm - 7-8 oz of lean beef, 1 head romain lettuce (balsamic and olive oil dressing 1 tsp of each)
9:30 pm - 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites.

Add to that 100 mg of Clen, I will kick up the Clen as my body becomes used to it to a max of about 150 mg / day.

My training is 45 min of cardio 6x a week. It is a rotation of interval training and hiit. I just wear a heart monitor and make sure Im in the fat burning range for my age. My training is also cardio/weight training that I have talked about numerous times.

Go ahead and comment on the diet PLEASE!

Would replace preworkout shake with some red meat - and end the day with chicken instead of the red meat - also would up the eggs to get around 30-40 grams protein before sleep. I've found that red meat pre workout has made a huge difference, also just in general when I am up to 3 shakes a day I don't feel near as full muscle wise - this might just be my body, good luck bro.

There is no need for 7:30pm shake and change the 8pm meal to chicken, turkey or fish.

replace the shake with a piece of fruit, it never killed anyone

If you are cutting I don't think you should mix your carbs and fat. I also don't think that is enough food what is your BMR? Two shakes in a row? Why?

fruit is the most worthless substance imo in ANY diet - just get some fiber other ways and stay away from the sugars esp when cutting.

again this diet has too many shakes and I think shuttling the red meat around would do wonders for your lifts NC - keep us up to date how it goes.

If you start to feel hungry salads are a great way to go - I throw salads in all the time it's basically water bro lol.

I have to disagree with this part. Since I added in a cup of berries (blue/black/rasp) I have tightened up more. It adds about 100 calories to my diet (9 grams of sugar) in addition to 9 grams of fiber. The berries are around 50 on the GI index, blueberries are the highest I believe at 53. The vitamins you get from it are a bonus. Fruit has a place in moderation unless you are stripping all the way down for a show

Fruit is not a problem unless you are dieting for a show. The benefits to your helathy, IMO, far outweigh the pound of water you may hold because of it.

3v1lj03 - Usually my BMR comes out about 2600 calories with my lifting and cardio.

I changed the diet to:

7:00 am - 50 g protein shake w/almond butter (1 tbsp), 1/2 cup oatmeal - If I have the time to make food (nine egg whites - 1 whole egg and 1/2 cup of oatmeal.)
10:30 am - 7oz of chicken, 1 cup green beans
2:00 pm - 7 oz of chicken, 1 cup green beans
5:30 pm - 5 oz of turkey with 1 slice of 12 grain bread and 2 tbsp almond butter
7:30 pm - 1 scoop whey
8:00 pm - 7-8 oz of turket, 1 head romain lettuce (balsamic and olive oil dressing 1 tsp of each)
9:30 pm - 2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites

why did you change it?

[NewbieChris]

why did you change it?

Because people made suggestions to improve it.

[the art of war]

How many cals is that coming out too ? What kinda bf % are you trying to get at / stay at ?

[NewbieChris]

What kinda bf % are you trying to get at / stay at ?

As ripped as possible so that i can tighten up my skin. Its absolutely disgusting.

Assuming you are getting enough calories and protein ( I am not willing to calculate it right now) it looks pretty good to me unless that 7:30 whey is the post workout drink then you need some carbs there. I would also be interested in you weight training besides just the cardio. Are you sure you can't eat something between 10:30 and 2?
