Help on first cut.

[EYS]

I've been gaining weight for the past few years so I'm a little lost right now. I've never cut in my life. Here is what my diet looks like right now though. Although I don't gain fast from it now, I've been at 200lbs for a while.

As for supplements I'm taking "Raw One for men" or "AST multi pro 32x" for my vitamin and I take plain creatine mono.

I do no cardio at all right now.

I'm on a 5 day split:

Monday: quads, hams, calfs
Tuesday: Biceps, triceps, forearms
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Chest, abs
Friday: Back
Saturday: Shoulders, traps
Sunday: Off

So when I start my cut, how many calories or what foods should I take out? I know I need to have 500 below my maintenance but I'm just confused on where to take it from. I'm guessing I should take out mostly the oat meal/juice from areas?

How much cardio should I include? I'm guessing 20-30 minutes a day?

For new supplements I'm going to get Primaforce's Yohimbine, Primaforce's Lean Green and primaforce's Caffeine to help me a little on the cut. I'll probably switch over to CEE creatine too.

Any other supps? Or is this good enough?

Thank you.

You a vegetarian?

Way to many calories in my opinion. To cut weight I would say you need to be in the 1800-2200 cal range at least....in my opinion. And i would do at least 30mins of some kind of cardio 5 days a week. Why so many juice's brah,those have to many sugars and artificial sweetner crap in there! Water water water,or switch it out with green tea maybe.

No that is my diet that I'm on to gain weight, I was looking for advice on how much food I should take out to cut down. And I use the juices for easier/quicker carbs, but they're all 100% juice with no added sugar or anything. But alright, I'll probably try cardio 5 days a week then. Thanks.
