    Need help with my calorie deficit !!

    So I'm 174cm ("5"9) and weigh about 70 kg (155 lbs). I have quite a bit of belly fat thanks to my genetics, so I am cutting atm. If you like, I can post a picture of me. I go to the gym about 5 times a week.

    Day 1: Chest/Triceps/Abs + Cardio
    Day 2: Back/Biceps/Abs + Cardio
    Day 3: Shoulders + Cardio
    Day 4: Abs + Cardio
    Day 5: Legs + Cardio

    For cardio I do HIIT on a stationary bike. I do 45 seconds of riding slowly and 15 seconds of sprint. Each cardio session is 15 minutes.

    Now I fear I may be eating too little atm.

    On workout days I eat:
    2 Bananas + coffee for breakfast
    Carrots as a snack
    300g of chicken or turkey + veggies
    Carrots again
    100-150g of pasta pre workout with basic tomato sauce
    200g of chicken or turkey + veggies post workout

    On non workout days I just cut the pasta and add some more meat, fish or veggies.

    As far as I'm concerned that takes me to something like 1400 calories a day. Is that too much of a deficit or not ?

    honestly I think everything you are doing is wrong. I think a 5 day split is wrong. The calories are way too low. You have a horrible meal plan that is bland and repetitive. Untrained and 155 pounds and cutting is crazy.

    I think you need to read the stickies in the workout programs, exercises, and nutrition forums on this website and rethink what you are doing.

    Problem is, as soon as I bulk I gain loads of belly fat, so I'd like to get a sixpack and then start bulking. Tbh I don't mind my meal plan being bland and repetitive, I am quite happy with it so far.

    That's why I'm working on my abs. I doesn't even have to be proper sixpack, just a really flat belly would be fine. Do you think it would help if I added another 300 calories to my meal plan ?
