Workout Routine:
Only hit chest, back and arms throughout the week
3 miles of running 4 days a week

Currently weigh 175, trying to cut for spring break. My maintenance is around 2400 cals/day. Surprisingly, I've been very energetic during the last 4-5 days since I've started my cut. I think I can maintain my cal. deficit. Thoughts on improving the regimen?

1200 cal defecit + carido 4 days a week + half ass routine = a lot of muscle loss (granted, a lot of fat loss too)

i would eat closer to 1800-1900 and dont skip body parts

Looking good bud. I'm also cutting at 1200-1500 cals daily. Good luck!

Good lord it is terrible. Here are some changes:

- Workout 3 times a week with weights on a full body routine
- Eat 1g protein / lb lean body mass.
- Eat 0.45g fat / lb of body weight
- Reduce the cardio to 2 days a week.

My question is this...how do you get through the day on 49 carbs? Are you tired during your workouts? Also 24g fat is really low. This will start taking a toll on your test levels.

Not really tired at all. I push pretty hard. What sources of fat do you recommend?

The sources of fat don't really matter all that much.

Get some more carbs and fats in. You can afford to lower protein a little bit. Up calories to 1800-2000. Work your legs. 1230 is ridiculously low and you're damaging your body if you continue that. I rate this a 0/10. No lower body work, way too low cals, bad macro ratios.

So trans fats are equiv. to saturated?

For body composition it is equivalent. For health reasons, it is not equivalent

I use olive oil, peanut butter and almonds
