    rate my cutting diet.

    Sup brahs for reps check out my diet. So far i have leaned up a little and lost 1-2 inches on my waist.

    Break fast: 3/4 cup of egg whites, 1/2 cup of raw oatmeal

    meal 2. Chicken breast, 1/2 cup of raw oatmeal, portion of broccoli,

    meal 3 pre workout. 1 rice cake, 1 scoop of whey protein

    meal 4 post workout. 2 scoops of whey protein, 1 serving size of natty peanut butter

    meal 5. red meat, portion of broccoli, one serving size of raw plain almonds.

    meal 6. one can of tuna. one serving size of spinach with one tablespoon of macadamia nut oil.

    Im roughly getting 213 protein , 44g of fat, 80-60 grams of carbs

    I been getting stronger in the gym and only lost 2-3 pounds of pure fat, maybe even gained muscle in replacement, been on the diet for 6 weeks. Went super slow in the beginning just winging it and creating my own diet then slowly adjusted it to where i have it now. Im getting someone around 2200 cals. I do cardio 3 times a weeks, just upped it to 4. Low intensity 30 minute intervals. I have one meal a week where i eat anything i want.

    That seems like an extremely low number of calories for your size, and also a particularly low amount of fat. It's recommended that you get 0.4 - 0.5g of fat per lb of LBM. Your whole diet adds up to less than 1600, which I think is far too low.

    I'm 5'9" too, but weighing 167, and I'm eating a little over 1800, which is as low as I will go.

    Maybe you meant *180-160* carbs? In which case, that sounds a lot better lol, but I would still up the fat a bit. Right now, I'm at about 160p/160c/60f

    Edit: Missed your 2200 estimate originally, but I'm still not sure how you're getting that, even if you DID mean 180-160 instead of 80-60.

    (213x4) + (180x4) + (44x9)
    852 + 720 + 396 = 1968

    So the macros you laid out are incorrect then? you are getting more than 213 protein a day for example?

    thats alot info so basically adding up the calories on the label doesn't = to the amount of calories im getting? That **** doesn't make sense , I dont feel like reading that wall of text.

    im adding up all the calories from the protein including the whey and thats the number i get. I went to every label and added it up.

    im getting 210-220 protein. 44 direct fats from peanut butter, macadamia nut oil, and almonds. so i dont know what all the extra fats add up to from red meat and salmon, fish oil. 110-130 carbs.

    lol, been calculating macros wrong for a while?

    60-80 carbs a day? How many pounds a week are you losing?

    I lose 1.6 lbs a week on 300 - 350 carbs a day. 2600-2800 calories a day.

    You've lost me completely now, haha. I don't know what you mean by "direct", but yes, you have to add the macros from every source. You have to add the protein from your oatmeal just as much as the protein from your whey, etc... I am not trying to sound like a douchebag, I'm just not sure what your confusion is here. You have to track everything and be accurate, otherwise you'll have no idea what your intake really is.

    In any case, counting and tracking aside, I do think that 44g of fat is a bit on the low side for you.

    Edit: It's common for their to be a sliiight bit of discrepancy between adding up your macros for the day and figuring the calories, and actually adding up the calories from the labels on everything. There are a couple reasons - 1, the calories are usually rounded up or down on the label to make a nice round number, and also fiber is sometimes taken into account and sometimes not. But the discrepancy in your numbers seems significantly higher than that.

    the labels are not wrong. It is impossible. They list the macros and such so there is no miscalculation on their part. Just add the labels up not that hard

    trust me dude, reading that "wall of text" will make things so much easier. all you have to do is count fat, protein, and carbs. plus, there is instructions on how to make a diet specifically for you.

    edit: it isn't even that much reading. you just have to read the OP, not the entire thread. good luck regardless!

    Given all the information, I think it looks good.

    ~You've gone a little over 1g/lb of bodyweight and you've probably even met 1.2g/lb of LBM, which is recommended when cutting.
    ~You're getting atleast 44g of fat that you're measuring, and more from salmon/red meat/fish oil, so hopefully you're hitting atleast 50g daily, which is as low as I would go in your case.
    ~It looks like you've got a good amount of micros from veggies and a good amount of fiber from oats/veggies.
    ~And assuming you're getting 2200 cals, I think that's reasonable for someone your height/weight, though you may even be able to get away with even more. If you lose more than 1-2 lbs per week on average, you can bump it up a little.

    Ultimately, all of the tracking/counting is to help you stay consistent (as well as, of course, hit minimum macro requirements). If you're gonna eat the same food every day and base your intake off of the same labels, then it should be fine. Just adjust accordingly as you progress.

    If you find you need to add some calories, I'd leave protein and bump up the carbs (and maybe a bit of fat). 110-130 carbs, for me personally, would give me some pretty sluggish workouts, but if you feel fine in the gym, more power to ya.

    Edit: Last piece of advice: If this is a diet you can stick to and enjoy, then go for it. To me, it looks very strict and "clean". If it were me, I would add a bit of something that I crave. Personally, I eat lots of veggies, lean meats, whole grains, etc, but I also have some breakfast cereal (Reese's Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, etc) every day, because I love the stuff, and I can fit it into my macros easily, without sacrificing much satiety. This helps me to stick to my macros and avoid "cheating" or binging. Best of luck.

    Add more fats to your diet. Fats are important for proper growth, development and keeping you healthy.

    It's just a tool to manipulate your energy balance - I think at your stats and on 2200 calories, it's not necessary, but you can throw it in a couple of times a week, maybe on your off days, if you want. I would recommend starting without it to get an idea of what your true intake is, and then add it after a few weeks if you want/need. My biggest problem with it is it's hard to accurately measure how much you're really burning with cardio, so I don't recommend excessive amounts.

    yeah i have 3 off days a week. I normally do 30 minutes of 120-130 heart rate. I burn 220-250 calories. I notice it keeps me tighter when i do it. I been on this diet for 6 weeks and have lost some. I actually thought i was under eating then added a little bit more carbs now im adding in alot more due to what i just found out. So i guess will see.

    3 days a week of 30min LISS at 120-130 sounds perfectly fine to me, I do a pretty similar amount myself (I do 2 days at 1 hour, around 120). I like to do it since I'm mostly sedentary apart from my workouts, and this allows me to do something active on my offdays and feel all around more balanced, and it makes my diet less complicated, as I can just eat the same amount of calories/macros each day and feel relatively the same from day to day.

    yeah i do serving size of every label. Thats how i got my calorie count but if people do that formula way, it seems like they would be getting a lot more calories in that they should.
