    well, I would like to have alittle more for mea l1, but no fruit, I just want to eliminate the fruit. What about oatmeal that could be a good fit. Yea? I could add a few things to the oatmeal to hit my numbers.

      I would think oatmeal would be great. At the same time to get the most out of your early morning cardio workout I wouldn't want anythig more than a protein shake. Maybe some oatmeal after early morn cardio.

          Diet looks good but I think we should take a step back and ask what your overall goal is. Your diet is really tailored more towards bulking, while it does have cutting elements. Bman is correct, given what you've told me in pm you should be aiming for at least 1.5-2 grams per body weight of protein. That's minimum 300grams.

          Also given your cardio plans, i'm assuming you are already an avid runner. No way in hell you'd get me running 4 miles lol. With that said, gauging your cardio based on miles is ok, but i'd rather gauge on time and intensity. I.e. 20 minutes in the morning at medium intensity (3.5 - 4 on the treadmill). If you are not a runner, then i'd stay clear of running all together and just do the treadmill on an incline at a brisk walk, or some HIIT training on the eliptical/bike. Less stress on the knees.

          But again to repeat the first question. What is your overall goal in more detail? Lose fat/gain muscle sure that's everyones goal. I.e. Are currently at 25% and looking to drop BF% in 12 weeks?


          EDIT: Ok I wrote this looking at page 1's revised diet, didnt see page 2 of this topic. Your new totals of 236,145 look better. Bman is correct again, gotta add healthy fats. Usually when you're listing macros you include the fat amount as well. I'd shoot for around 50-60g of healthy fat. Easiest way is to add a salad to one of your low calorie meals (meal #3) and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil (either regular or extra virgin, doesnt matter). You're looking for monounsaturated fats. Avoid saturated fats.

          Everything else I said still applies, but you're getting closer to a cutting diet now.

              haha jock yeah I use keto to cut and have about 3 carbs meals one in the morning which is about 2 cups of oatmeal , a couple pieces of fruit preworkout , and some simple carbs postworkout . I do that every 2-3 weeks depending on how I feel mentally and wow you will get shredded and at a really fast pace , already 3 days into my diet and call me insane but I sometimes feel better when cutting then I do bulking just because of the fact I feel like im accomplishing something tough but very rewarding, only part I hate are these damn clen shakes -.-

              And im all for what bman said about you getting more calories from healthy fat theirs alot of studies that have shown EFA's such as fish oil caps taken as a standalone will reduce bodyfat alone without a change of diet, it was even mentioned by Arnold in Encylopedia of Bodybuilding

                Girly I tried to send you a message but your box is full. I run 2 miles, 3 times a week currently, and enjoy running. so the running will be difficult but I know I can do it. as far as the fat to add to the diet, what about adding some almond butter or another health nut butter. lol sounds funny. Anywase, what do you guys think?

                  I've heard of others using the almond butter. I've never personally used it but I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's monunsaturated. Some almond butter on your veggies would be nice.

                      An interesting list that may need more clarification:

                      Almonds - Healthy fat, but take in moderation (small handful).
                      Coffee - Dieuritc, not a fat loss. But caffene is good for a boost while calorie starved
                      cranberries - helps clean out the system, good for detox, not really a fat loss but used while cutting.
                      Olive Oil - healthy fat
                      Spinach - Fiberous Carb, no effect on fat loss, just good for you
                      Skim Milk - Not related to fat loss, I don't drink milk personally. Too many carbs
                      Apples - In moderation and early in the morning. Simple Sugar. If cutting, you can replace all complex carbs with simple sugar for some rapid weight loss.
                      Carrots - Fiberous Carbs, no effect on fat loss.

                        Another vital error is not listing any EFA's. Fish oil should be a staple to any diet.

                        And cardio is not the best way to cut fat and maintain muscle, especially, grueling cardio. You will more than likely burn muscle, and if you are eating carbs to power your cardio, then your plan of attack, might not be ideal.
                        I agree! Maybe, for me at all, AD is the best solution for losing fat and improving body composition.
