Looking To Become More Cut (Don't Consume Dairy)

[adamr21]

Hey guys,

I try not to eat or drink a lot of dairy because it seems to negatively affect my skin, which bugs me a lot. Usually it's completely fine but if I drink a lot of milk or Whey Protein I get problems so I have decided to avoid it as much as I can. I am currently about 6' and weigh about 180. If I had to guess I would say my body fat is around 17% and I have decent muscle mass but nothing spectacular by any means. Basically I am trying to get more cut while still building mass at the same time, but primarily focused on getting muscles more striated and what not. I would love to have around a 9 or 10% body fat. I lift 4 to 5 times a week and try to do about 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week and also play hockey for about 1 and 1/2 hours twice a week.

My current diet consists of the following: tons of chicken and turkey, good deal of wheats (bread, pasta), almonds, water, a good amount of vegetables (green beans, lettuce, broccoli, avocado, peas, and corn mainly), moderate amount of fruits (tomatoes, apples, blueberries) and then some random snacks thrown in here and there (I'm a college student so it's not always easy making a full meal).

What suggestions do you guys have on changes to my regimen/diet that could help me to achieve my goals? Thanks for any advice.

saying you eats tons of ___ doesnt mean anything. your goals will be met if you adequate calories/protein/efas and enough carbs and fiber for your body

When I say tons I just mean I eat it frequently mainly in the form of deli meats but I occasionally have chicken breast as well. Basically a normal day would include:

12:00 Chicken Sandwich with Honey Mustard and tomatoes on Double Protein Wheat Bread (10 g).

4:00 Snack of Almonds (Roughly 40 grams which is about 35 nuts).

7:00 Pasta or Chicken Breast with sauce/marinade and a side of vegetables (those listed above).

I sometimes will have an two hard-boiled eggs as a substitute for a meal or possibly breakfast (rarely because I usually roll out of bed to class/work). I would say my main problems for fat loss would be alcohol consumption (about 4 nights a week) and the late night meals that sometimes can lead to (not often).

I think you are under the impression that you have to eat certain foods to look a certain way. Like magical foods that make you ripped. It has nothing to do with that. You putting what you foos you eat. with no portion sizes or calories means nothing.

Not to be a nay-sayer, but deli meats are complete garbage. They're over processed, cheap, and chalk full of preservatives and nitrates. Also, if that's all you eat, then either your not working out much, or you drink a lot of alcohol. You aren't ingesting many calories from the looks of it.

Yeah, probably the latter. I work out a pretty good amount, but I do drink a lot. When drinking, is their a preferred drink or something that would lower my calorie intake from that?

I you want to cut get rid of the bread almonds and pasta, only eat that stuff on "cheat" days. As for the random snacks it all depends on what they are.

zero cal vodka is a good choice but its usually mixed with cola which = high calories. Still, alcohol is alcohol and will have negative effects on your gains regardless.
