Cutting and gaining muslce diet advise?

[xamo]

What you're eating a day is... not enough... your problem probably comes from there... try to take in less carbs for more calories as well...more proteins too... what are your work outs like?

My point is... you're not meeting your maintenance as it is... and making what seems to be a huge deficit already... see my point?

Hey JM,

36
201 lb's
about 19 - 21% BF

I can see the top abs but not the bottom.. my goal like most, is to cut that belly fat and still grow some muscle.. I realize I probably wont get a ton of lean muscle though..

Am I on track to still build muscle and cut that lower belly fat? I feel like I'm hitting my macro's but am I??..

I also know that this is probably under the amount of cals needed to grow being that I am cutting the cals so much with my runs.. So what I dont want is to end up with is a stand still..

ideas, thoughts? would greatly appreciated..
