Reply With QuoteRealistically.. why 3%? I have a friend who has been competing at the national level for 20+ years and maintains about 5 1/2% during the year. The lowest I've seen him get is about 3.6% bf and that is only for 2-3 days around competition time. This is absolulely not a maintenance level.
What is your purpose in cutting? Is this for a particular event or you're expecting to maintain this? I"m going to say for anything except an ultra-experienced national level competitor, something reasonable to look for is about 6%, possibly lower if you are something like a sprint athlete.
From your diet, your carbs aren't really all that high. I'd almost guess that you should be doing a refeed once/week or something to boost it from your daily average in case you notice some stalling out.
And yes I think I'd put some carbs PWO.

Help with Cutting Diet
6'0'' male, 192lbs, 8-9% body fat. Been cutting for 6 weeks.
Morning, Fasted-state Cardio [Mon - Fri only]- 130-135bpm (use a Polar HR monitor so it's accurate) on treadmill or stairstepper for 55 mins. I usually clock in about 550-600 calories burned.
Meal 1: 1 cup Oats, 1 whole Egg, 10 Egg whites
Meal 2: 3/4 Cup Oats, 6oz. chicken or turkey, 3 oz. raw broccoli
Meal 3: 1/2 Cup Oats, 6 oz. chicken, 3 oz. raw broccoli
Lifting Workout: Back on Sun., Chest and Abs on Mon., Tues. off, Legs on Wed., Arms on Thurs., Shoulders on Fri., Sat. off.
PWO: NO Synthesize - 20g hydrolyzed whey, (82 calories)
Meal 4: 6 oz. chicken, 1 1/2 Tbs. (24g) Natural Peanut Butter, 3 oz. raw broccoli.
Meal 5: 6 oz. chicken, 1 1/2 Tbs. (24g) Natural Peanut Butter, 3 oz. raw broccoli.
Meal 6: 6oz. chicken, 3 oz. raw broccoli.
Supplements: Animal Pak, Omega(2x day), Nitro, Flex, Cuts, Pump, OKG, GH Max, Animal PM, L-carnitine, green tea, Niacin, FucoTHIN, caffeine, ephedrine hcl, Isagenix (fruits, greens, ionix supreme), chromium picolinate, VPX zero carb whey
Goals: I'm trying to get down to 3% body fat. Should I incorporate carbs post-workout? Like maybe flip meals 2 and 4, or something similar?
Daily Macros: Protein 240g (260g on workout days), Carbs 108g from food (120g with supps included), Fats 30g (44g if including Omega).
Thank you so much for everyone's input and for taking the time to help me out.

Your fats are ridiculously low. Why?
Why six meals a day?
And why a five day bodypart lifting split while cutting?Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.
Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.
