Endomorph Cutting Diet (Tips?)

[jmal2000]

I am not sure whether I am an endomorph or not mainly because since beginning of middle school I've always been overweight and I use to eat spahgetti for lunch and dinner every day in enormous amounts. Despite that, just recently I lost a lot of weight (340 down to 210 but I stopped eating right and exercise so i'm back to 250) I did that through some of the tips from this forum eating 5 meals a day but I basically starved myself because I would only drink V8 eat veggies and maybe have a can of tuna and a chicken sandwich a day. With that being said, i'm pretty serious about transforming my body now and I want thoughts advice on my diet plan.

So my stats: 6'2" 252 lbs and 29% Body Fat
Here is the diet I've been eating:

Meal 1:
Coach's Oats 100% Whole Grain oatmeal
160 Cal (25 fat cal) 3g Fat 27g Carb 6g Protein 10mg Sodium
4 Egg Whites
64 Cal 0g Fat 0g Carb 16g Protein 220mg Sodium

Meal 2:
Whole Can of Tuna (Store Brand)
300 Cal (25 fat cal) 2.5g Fat 0g Carb 65g Protein 1400mg Sodium
2 Multigrain 100% Whole Grain Bread Slices
280 Cal (30 fat cal) 3g Fat 52g Carb 12g Protein 420mg Sodium

Meal 3:
Whole Breast Chicken
100 Cal (10 fat cal) 1g Fat 24g Protein 40mg Sodium
Low Sodium V8
30 Cal (0 fat cal) 0g Fat 7g Carb 1g Protein 80mg Sodium

Meal 4 (Post Workout):
2 Scoops of Muscle Milk
260 Cal (40 fat cal) 4g fat 6g Carb 52g Protein 270mg Sodium
Whole Milk
~ 300 Cal (140 fat cal) 16g fat 22g Carb 16g Protein 230mg Sodium

Meal 5:
Whole Breast Chicken
100 Cal (10 fat cal) 1g Fat 24g Protein 40mg Sodium
Low Sodium V8
30 Cal (0 fat cal) 0g Fat 7g Carb 1g Protein 80mg Sodium

Meal 6:
Salmon
I haven't calculated this, I'll just assume its ~30ishg Protein, this one I won't remove out of my diet.


Totals:
Calories: ~1700ish g (1624 not including Salmon and veggies on side of each meal)
Calories from Fat: 280g
Protein: 247g
Fat: 30.5g
Carbs: 120g
Sodium: 2793mg Sodium

Using the information on these forums this is what I calculated:
to CUT 2100 calories a day
240g protein
100g fat
60 carbs

I don't think I calculated the chicken breast, the nutrition is given for 2 oz, so that may be under/over estimated. But this gives you a good idea of what I'm getting currently.

Any suggestions? I heard sodium is bad for cutting, anyone know a good brand for Tuna to buy or how I can go about cutting Tuna? I am pretty hardcore when it comes to eating, I will eat when I'm not hungry and I eat everything by itself, I don't need spices generally to eat something. But with this diet I plan on doing Resistance training every day (Day 1: Chest/Tri + Abs, Day 2: Back/Bi + Neck, Day 3: Legs + Abs, Day 4: Traps/Delts + Neck) and 15-45 minutes of cardio depending if I'm up for HIIT or not.

Cliffnotes:
Is my diet good? What should I change? I'm open to suggestions.
I don't want to lose the weight too fast (no saggy skin please) so I don't want to starve myself, if I need more of something let me know.
I plan on hitting the gym and cardio extremely hard every day.

Edit: Also, I was told many different things, are carbs important post workout for cutting? The supplements I take are CoQ10, Multivitamin, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, and ******** (Generic prescribed) I also drink Green Tea over water unless I'm out of the house I will drink Water. I don't take Glutamine but I heard it was useful for muscle recovery, should I take that? L-Arginine for energy? Flaxseed Oil (for god knows what)?

all right looks like you know what types of food to eat but imo theres alot wrong with your diet.

1/3 of your cals comes from fat. 33% i think is to much.
the fat you need would prob be enough from your protein sources eg chicken breast.
if its not enough then just add in flax or peanut butter but 33% is to much.

your carbs 60g?
add more carbs or you will get lethargic and lifts will suck and you prob be exhausted after 2 weeks.

i just finished reading chris acetos book championship body building.

he stresses the point that your 2nd biggest carb meal should be post workout.

so meal #1 and post workout.

post workout the carbs will be used to replenish glycogen stores and wont be stored as fat.

add some carbs pre and post.

if not comfortable with carbs post workout test it out for 2 weeks if your not seeing results adjust diet by cutting back on them.

also did i miss it where are the veggies at.#@!

google thermal effect of eating

veggies burn more cals than they actually have so its good for a cut.

brocolli is da bomb
boiling water > salt > drop it in for 1minutes (srs) > put in lunch box

and dont buy glutamine.. its suppose to stop catabolism of muslce were not ronnie coleman
just use the money on FOOD > WHEY > multi vitamin >

Your assumptions are correct, you need to eat more fat.

Your assumptions are correct, you need to eat more fat.

I was told by a reliable source that I should avoid sugar, fats and sodium like the plague.

Your reliable source is dumb. Fat is essential for body functions and hormone production.

I was told by a reliable source that I should avoid sugar, fats and sodium like the plague.

sugar, yes

healthy fats, no

sodium, only if youre competing or purposely getting rid of water



many people lose water weight and think they lost real weight.
personally i would rather hold 5 lbs of water than 5 lbs of FAT

plus ask yourself, everyone says to drink a lot of water to be healthy
so why are you trying to get rid of it
