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):- Step 1: Calculate your BMR (WHAT'S BMR? CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT)
- Step 2: Multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity level modifier
- 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!
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
