DapperDanMan's Cutting diet Log (Pics)

[DapperDanMan]

So a little background info:
About 2 years ago I started trying to get in better shape. Over training and over dieting pretty much. I was eating way to little and working out to much. I did this for about a year until I found myself in the hospital feeling week with every organ failing. After i got out of the hospital I was 153 lbs, I've always been over 200lbs. For the next year I fell into this binging habit and that has lasted about a year and now I'm back up to 212lbs. Which is where I am now. I tried to maintain at 180lbs but for some reason every 2 days or so I feel the need to eat the kitchen.

So that is where I am now. I am 5'11 212lbs and unsure of bodyfat but reguardless I want it lower. I am going to try and keep this log up the best I can. If there's a day I skip or it seems like i get lazy, its because I binged. Any support would be much appreciated like diet tips or ways to keep cravings down.

Thanks

Didn't eat enough through the day and prolly over did the protein. This is probably why almost every 3rd day I blow it.

I am on a cut, anyone have any input as to whether this is a good amount of cal/fat/carb/pro?

[AlwaysTryin]

Your fats are farrrrrrrr too low

you want 0.4-0.5g/lb of LBM MINIMUM for fats and 1-1.5g/lb of protein

so you can reduce your protein and increase your fats

[CHRIS925]

Not bad man. Fats can increase and protein can decrease a bit just like stated before. Carbs you will have to play with but you shouldn't be TOO far off.. if anything those might need to increase just a little bit too depending on how your body works.

On the plus side, I'm glad you're keeping track.. And damn.. your meals look more appetizing than lots of my meals haha come cook for me brah!

Good work so far, keep it up. Nothing is stronger than self-motivation. If you really want something, you'll get it

If you eat them yes lol, sure they don't add too many calories but they're part of your intake. I usually eat near 200 cals worth of spinach/broccoli each day which can add up over the weeks. Don't limit them by any means though.

Foods are looking good!
