My spring cutting diet

A

New member
Hey guys, just would like a critique on my cutting diet, im 5'5 about 69 kilos/ about 150lbs. 18% body fat. Very happy with the muscle gains ive made, think its time for a cut. so here it is, let me no what you think.
Main goal is to drop body fat to show off some abs, while keeping my muscle. who doesnt want that lol.

Meal 1
2 whole eggs+ 3/4 egg whites
1 cup green peppers, onions made with eggs

Meal 2
Whey protein (add 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter)
1 banana

Meal 3
5 oz Chicken breast
20 almonds
serving of veggies

Meal 4 (post workout)
Whey protein (add 2 tablespoon flaxeed oil and 1 cup oatmeal)

Meal 5
5 oz Chicken breast or beef
24 almonds
Serving veggies

Meal 6
Cottage cheese
2 tablespoon flaxseed oil
1 apple or banana

Let me know what you think, i train 4 x a week heavy weight, with low reps. do HIIT twice a week for 30 minutes.
 
Skip the fruit on meal 6. Don't have any after lunch if your trying to loose weight. Skip the flaxseed oil see Fadi's article on oils. Try crushing the flaxseeds freshly or take fishoil tabs. Noobs will tell you to add more veggies which I would agree on.

Pre workout???

With 4 weights sessions and 2 hiit I would imagine you will hit your goals as long as you keep your nutrition on track.

If I wasn't on my phone I would post my "spring cutting diet"

hey thanks for that. yeah ill scracth the fruit after lunch.
post workout was meant to be on meal 2. i usually train an hour after breakfast so would that be enough as a pre workout meal? or should i consume a pre workout whey shake along with my brekky?

also mite replace falxeed oil with almonds as a fat source or even as you said fishoil tablets. get varied responses from flaxseed oil.

just on a bonus note, i take creatine mono, aswell as gnc pre workout lock and load.

i think its all right? i didnt include the egg white at breakfast and the servings of veggies... seems like i have too many calories, can someone give me an accurate sight to determine my daily caloric maintenance. and please if someone could double check few things for accuracy. thanks
 
You could replace the Flaxseed oil with coconut. Its delicious! Plus it will help in your weight loss quest. Google lauric acid :)
 
ill look into that thanks.
im a very 2 dimensonal minded when it comes to bodybuilding. im not looking to be the next jay cutler, dieting is one thing that bugs me when it comes to this hobby. the way i see it is. ive had success bulking and building mass. so in all due respect, wont just cuting the portions and minusing the carbs of my bulking diet just give me the reverse effect?? i absolutely hate calorie counting. it turns me off lol
 
Ive been buying a delicious breakfast alternative to oats recently. It has oats, sesame seeds, coconut slivers, almonds and some dried fruit. I put a bit of honey on it and its true bliss :) Need to have a protein shake with it though to make up the protein.
