Title: New Cutting Diet?
Post by: Eyeball Chambers on February 25, 2007, 10:19:02 AM

Could you please look over this cutting diet I put together for myself and tell me if you have any suggestions or if I messed up anywhere?

Thanks,
Ben

Looks excellent. Only change I would make is to add some protein to Meal #2.

When is your workout?  Between 2 and 3, or before 1?  Also, you're sure 2171 is enough?  Sounds pretty low.  What % drop is that from your maintenance cals?

I've found it helpful to add % to my spreadsheet for each meal and for the day.  Overall, you've got 34% carb, 39% protein, 27% fat.  If you wanted to "knock out the fat" all I can see is to eliminate the flax oil from meal 5 and only keep 1 yolk with 5 whites in meal 1 (you may be surprised how quick the yolks bump the fat %).  The fish and steak you probably ought to keep.
