    I don't think you're going to get much help from what you posted.

    Figure out your maintenance calories and macros. Track what you eat and take in less than maint while you keep working out. I don't think there's anything more to it.

    I'd suggest going to read the stickies that explain this already.

    its obvious you have researched bodybuilding diets but the thing you must realize is you are trying to lose fat. Protein shakes and and stuff like that aren't necessary in any way. Basically find out how many calories you need a day to maintain your current weight.

    http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

    Then take that number, lets say for example its 2500 calories, and subtract 500. So take in 2000 calories in this example and you will lose weight.

    If you are wanting to keep as much muscle as possible only subtract 250 or whatever. The faster you lose fat, in most cases, the more muscle you will lose.

    Other people may have different advice but that's mine.

    best of luck to ya.

    Why arnt protein shakes necessary? If he is using them to meet his protein requirements, even when cutting you gotta make sure you fill your protein requirements.

    OP, I like that your doing cardio, but why not lift weights while you cut? It will allow you to build muscle mass while stripping body fat, although you can of course do what ever you want with regards to cutting and bulking, your trained to get ripped right? Not become a twig, you can't be ripped with out muscle. Good luck man! Hope your cut goes well!

    if thats his reasoning than by all means go for it, its cheaper than whole meat anyway. But looking at his diet i would guess he is getting enough protein, as his goals arent to gain muscle at the moment.

    True, still, that protein is needed so he can maintain what ever muscle he already has.

    Yeah the protein is pretty much to keep muscle while cutting, its also a meal replacement, im using ISO Sustain 93 so it has very low carbs so i can take it before bed.

    Thanks alot for the comments guys.
