diet for cutting
i have been gradually lowering my calorie and carb intake over the past couple of weeks from 6500cal/ 850g carbs to approximately 4500cal/600g carbs! starting from today my new diet will be as follows:
mon tue wed thur fri sat sun wk total
protein 405 405 405 405 405 300 405 2730
carbs 500 500 300 500 300 900 300 3300
fats 40 40 80 40 80 0 80 360
calories 3755 3755 3225 3755 3225 4800 3225 25740
wednesday, friday and sunday are the days i do cardio and on these days my carb intake is lower. i increase the number of fats (eating more salmon, steak, whole eggs) on these days to keep the caloric intake from dropping significantly.
monday tuesday and thursday my carbd are up to 500g so i try keep fats to a minimum and change my sources of protein to chicken, turkey, white fish and egg whites! saturday i try to consume 900g carbs and lower my protein intake to 300g. on this day i will try to consume as little fat as possible due to the high number of carbs being consumed!
any feedback on this diet would be greatly appreciated (good or bad) as cutting is a new area for me! i hope to stay on this diet for 11 weeks ( gradually reducing the number of carbs over this time). thanks for taking the time to read my blog

Hey Richie,
Shows how much I know…I didn’t even realize that the cutting phase was actually more than just consuming less calories. Seems like you are doing it the smart way and not leaving anything to chance!
Please let me know how this works for you.
