For those of you CUTTING, what do you have for carbs as a source?

[rzarate]

Tempted to give up on my cut. Its so damn hard, I feel weak everyday and tired. I have the protein part down which consists of egg whites, chicken breast, tilapia daily. My CARB source is the problem. I rotate from yams to white rice between those 2 and im getting sick of them. I dont eat vegetables but I plan on mixing in asparagus with my lunch meals from now on.

I have no ideas on what to eat for carbs. All i have in mind are bananas, yams, or white rice. Any help in the carb sources that taste good?

low carb pita bread?
oatmeal?

I wouldn't skimp out on carbs nor be so restricted on them.
Simply, commit to cardio (I prefer HIIT when leaning down) and adjust your macros accordingly so that you reach your target goal(s) weekly

This has always baffled me.. Out of ALL of the macronutrient groups.. there are literally an abundance of carbohydrate sources to choose from.

Eat anything. I bet you there's in it.

If you're OK mentally straying from the "bodybuilding" cut, there are a ton of sources. Pasta (regular, whole grain, brown rice), Potato (red, white, russet), quinoa, any fruit, any vegetable etc.

Those are signs something is off.

Most likely reasons: calories too low and fat intake too low.

[myProgress]

At least 300g carbs a day crew
Sandwiches (bread)
Brown rice and chicken breast meal (rice)
Chipotle bowl (beans, corn, rice, etc for 800 cals)
Oatmeal
Cereal
Seriously everything has carbs. U sure u getting enough total calories?
Potatoes
Pizza
Burgers
Pasta
Anything...

White bread and marmalade

[nakkiz]

I like oatmeal and cereal a lot. Bread too.

Sweet potatoes are really tasty as well, but can be quite filling.

[Oinkerjnn]

Favorite high carb foods:

Sweet potatoes
Regular potatoes
Oatmeal
Delicious cereal
Quinoa

And lol at "I don't eat vegetables". Really man? Vegetables are the best cutting foods EVER.

Brb fill up entire plate with delicious green vegetables for like 150 nutrient rich calories.

Sounds like you need to learn to cook/season your food. Use fat, herbs, spices and browning cooking methods to add flavor to your starches and veggies.

But to answer your question, at my weight, 1-2 servings (250 cals) of beans or whole grains, 4-5 (150 cals) different veggies, 1-2 (150 cals) servings of fruit, 1-2 servings (250 cals) of dairy and a small bits of sugar for yogurt, sauces and treats.

Oats why not.
My favourite, oats and whey protein. Sweet, delicious and healthy

[FoolsErrand]

Okay, this is sort of out of left field, but have you looked at Flax Seed? Great source of fiber, helps with fat loss, energy, mental acuity and is great for the heart.

I definitely would NOT go low carb on a cut. Like someone suggested before, just do some HIIT training which will allow you to eat MORE while still eating at a deficit.

I don't see any issue with going low carb on a cut. Everyone responds differently. My body responds great to fat as higher macros and carbs lower. I tend to eat my higher carb meals prior to a workout. Potatoes, grits, tortillas ( fish tacos ftw ), fruit, oatmeal, eat what you like as long as you meet your protein and fat macros.
