    Evaluate This Cutting Diet

    Hi, I introduced myself in my previous post - basically, I'm 17yr old male, looking to lose 5-10lb of bodyfat over the next couple months. I've never really followed a diet I just always bulked (ate what i wanted, lots of protien, lots of junk food too, worked out a lot) now i'd like to lean down for spring break and summer..i currently see 2 abs when i flex and none relaxed..my goal is to see 2-4 abs without flexing in a couple months and by summer time have a nice 6 pack when relaxed if possible...anyways, here the diet I came up with by researching on my own:

    7AM – Protein Shake, Banana w/glutamine
    10:00AM – Protein Bar, Banana
    12:45PM – Ham sandwich on whole grain bread
    3:45PM – Salad with some ham
    5:00PM (post workout) – Protein Shake w/glutamine, banana
    7:00PM – Chicken / Fish / Beef with light veggies, flax seed oil
    10:00PM – Protein Bar w/glutamine, flax seed oil

    Goals:
    5g of Glutamine upon waking, post workout, before bed
    Need 20g of fiber – green veggies, whole grain bread, etc, etc
    205g of Protein + 15g glutamine = 220g total protein
    165g of Carbs – from whole grain bread & vegetables
    73g of Fats – flax seed oil
    ~2200 calories

    1 – 1.5 gal of water

    I plan on using the WBB #1 workout and doing cardio 3 days a week (non workout days).

    Please give me any tips or advice on what I should do - I really don't know much about this stuff at all. Thanks so much!

    BTW I'm around 185-190lb with 15-20% bodyfat (I estimate)

    My 1RM bench is around 230-240.

    Id eat more chicken, tuna, eggs, egg whites,brown rice,potatoes,fish,salads,veggies,oatmeal,yams,etc. I know you are young and live at home but you have too many calorie dense protein bars in your diet as well as ham which is not a great "clean" source of protein.Instead of buying glutamione,and flax oil buy chicken breasts and eggs .You`ll make much better progress this way.I`m not trying to discourage you but your diet isn`t all that great for cutting and retaining muscle tissue.

    thanks for the comment..how about this:

    7AM - Protein shake (powder, egg white, banana), oatmeal
    10AM - Protein bar (I have no choice, I am in school, cant cook)
    12:45PM - 2 chicken breasts, salad no dressing
    3:45PM - 1 large can of tuna or 1 chicken breast, brown rice
    5PM (post workout) - protein powder in orange juice
    7PM - 2 chicken breasts, 2 steaks or 2 fish fillet, a little brown rice
    10PM - 1 chicken breast

    water for all drinks, very light or no sauces on the meat, all lean cut

    fats will come from the oils in cooking the meat

    does that sound good?
