cutting

what's an example of a cutting diet? Eating the same things everyday? ...Trying to right now

[nextsuperhero]

I have two options for breakfast
Lunch changes about every four days (I cook recipes for 4 but I'm the only one eating them)
Dinner is always the same
Pre-WO is always the same
Post-WO is always the same

It just makes it easier to shop & prepare meals when you aren't changing things every day.
Some studies also show that the more variety you have to choose from, the more you'll eat...


Breakfast: Onion & pepper 2 egg-white & 1 whole egg omelet with 2 tbsp fat-free cheese, whole grain toast with 1 tbsp low-fat cream cheese & fruit

Lunch: Whole grain bun, veggie burger with ketchup, lettuce & tomato, & sweet potato oven fries (1 tsp oil, salt & spices)

Dinner: Giant veggie salad with avocado & full fat dressing, & a mix of 4 oz non-fat Greek yogurt & fruit for dessert

Pre-WO: Protein/carb shake with 1/2 oz nuts or seeds

Post-WO: Protein/carb shake with frozen fruit


And the only difference between this and if it was a bulking diet would be an addition of beans to my dinner salad, smart bacon & avocado to the burger.
So really a cutting diet is just less cals than what you maintain at! No need to fix any "special" foods.

not all cutting diets are about eating the exact same things everyday, but i personally find i will stay more disciplined and focused when i do eat mostly the same things every day when cutting. right now i'm on the scivation cut diet (about 7 weeks left) and it's really strict and effective. i would recommend that diet because it's really not very complicated and it works.
