My Cutting Diet

[mrader]

Here is a diet I plan to follow while cutting. Suggestions or comments will be very helpful. I'm a newbie.

[cals., P/C/F]

7:00 a.m.: wake-up. Natty p.b. sandwhich
p.b---200, 7/7/16
slice of wheat bread---50, 4/10/1

8:00 a.m.: workout

9-9:15 a.m.: Oatmeal-100, 4/19/2
1 whole egg, 2 egg whites-114, 13/1/5
Protein shake-220, 44/4/4
-creatine 5 grams

12:00 p.m.: Chicken breast-146, 29/0/1
Mixed veggies-100, 4/20/0

3:00 p.m.: Tuna-180, 42/0/2
Brown rice-140, 3/29/1
P.b.-200, 7/7/16

6:00 p.m.: Same as 12:00 meal

9:00 p.m.: Protein shake-220, 44/4/4
Flax seed oil
Multivitamin
I'll also be snaking on almonds throughout the day-160, 7/4/14


Totals- 1976 cals, 241 P, 125 C, 67 F 433
56% 29% 15%

I'm unsure of my post workout meal because I read that I need to spike my insulin levels with some type of carbs. Is my plan alright?

it looks good, what are your stats?

yes, post-workout try a mixture of whey and dextrose or maltodextrine.

***Since you workout first thing in the morning I would recommend some whey protein along with some easily digestable carbs. You could go with a couple of slices of ww toast or some maltodextrin.


8:00 a.m.: workout

9-9:15 a.m.: Oatmeal-100, 4/19/2
1 whole egg, 2 egg whites-114, 13/1/5

-creatine 5 grams
***Yes, I would go with some the protein shake, creatine, and some high GI carbs postworkout, and then about 60-90 minutes later take in the egg/egg whites and oatmeal.

12:00 p.m.: Chicken breast-146, 29/0/1
Mixed veggies-100, 4/20/0

3:00 p.m.: Tuna-180, 42/0/2

6:00 p.m.: Same as 12:00 meal

9:00 p.m.: Protein shake-220, 44/4/4
Flax seed oil
Multivitamin
***I would switch out the protein shake for a slower digesting protein source like cottage cheese, unless the protein shake listed above is some type of protein blend.

As mentioned above I think you should go with high GI carbs, a fast digesting protein (whey), and keep fat at a minimum.

You might want to add in some more fat, but this recommendation would depend on how many almonds you eat throughout the day.
