    I need some help formulating a cutting diet around school, im 192lbs at 6'2" and im estimating around 18-20% bodyfat, my navel is roughly 35.5 inches. anyways for my school i leave for the bus at 7:30 am have half hour wait at school till class starts. then i got 10 mins at 10 am to and another at 1:30 pm. i get off school around 3 and work till 5. oh yeah lunch is at 11:30-12:10.
    So thats my day and im having trouble formulating a good cutting diet around that. i work out 5 days a week but struggle with fitting cardio in(pure lazyness on my part i think). Your help would be really appreciated. Thanks

    Figuring out your CALORIE requirements (2-STEP PROCESS):
    • If <20% BF:
      • For cutting (CALORIE DEFICIT), I suggest -200 cals. For bulking (CALORIE SURPLUS), I suggest +200 cals
    • If >20% BF:
      • For cutting (CALORIE DEFICIT), I suggest -500 cals. For bulking (CALORIE SURPLUS), YOU DELUSIONAL? CUT!
    Figuring out your MACRONUTRIENT ratios:

    I recommend:
    • At least 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight
    • At least 20% of your calories should come from healthy fats (40% POLYUNSATURATED, 30% MONOUNSATURATED, & 30% SATURATED)
    • Carbs are up to you (I PREFER TO KEEP COMPLEX CARBS AT BREAKFAST, PREWORKOUT, AND POSTWORKOUT)

    Other important tips:
    • Meal size & frequency are not set in stone. (SMALLER/MORE FREQUENT MEALS YIELDS FOR OPTIMAL ABSORPTION OF NUTRIENTS & STABLE BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS)
    • I recommend P+C+F (P = Protein, C = Carbohydrate, F = Fat) in every meal except:
      • preWO (P+C)
      • immediate post workout (P+C)
      • and bedtime (P+F)
      • incidental fats in preWO and postWO are fine, but added fats are at your discretion
    • Eat your fruits & veggies!
    • Drink at least 1 gallon of pure water a day
