Thread: Critique my cutting diet

is that 1c. of oats dry or cooked? and is it old fashioned sort?

what kind of meat patty?
Id get rid of the cheese and brown bread and replace it with veggies(as you have none) and either whole grain bread, sweet potato, brown/wild/bastami rice, or fiber 1 cereal and beans/legumes.

in meal 3 Id just stick to one serving of fruit, but you need a protein source along with that. How about cottage cheese? its easily portable.

is it possible to cut back slightly more on the shakes? In meal 5 I would opt for whole food. Even if you work or do go to school there are still breaks and what not. Eating doesnt take that long. Id opt for whole lean protein source(chicken, turkey, lean beef, eggwhites(1-2yolks), cottage cheese) as well as more vegetables and some healthy fats in meal 5 and meal 6.

that doesn't look like a whole lotta bang for your buck, this past week i have been eating a heck of a lot more food at about 2300 cals

thank for the advice, i will try to adjust my diet according to you recommendation. is there any formula that i could use to calculate the amount of cals i should consume per day?. what the optimal amount of carbs, and fats i should consume?

yah im using uncocked dried old fashioned oats

have you read the sticky at the top of the forum? "Guide to cutting, bulking and maintenance". That will greatly answer some of your questions.

ok thanx

edit:
athergen, sorry I somehow overlooked your first post on this thread.

Where's the food? You cannot live by protein shakes alone.

You need some chicken, fish, eggs, cottage cheese and lean red meat for protein. Also need sweet 'taters, brown rice, oatmeal and black beans for carb sources. Lots of colorful veggies for vits and fiber. Quality fruit such as blueberries, cantaloupe and strawberries. Nuts, especially walnuts, in moderation provide good fat and omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil caps for more quality fat and omega-3 fatty acids will round things out fairly well. Did I leave out anything?

As suggested above, read the stickies. The great folks on this site have posted more quality info on diet and nutrition than you could get from a nutritionists convention, or anywhere else.

what about this

Meal 1: protein shake ( 38g protein+1 cup of oat meal)

Meal 2: 1 meat patty + 1 cup of vegies

Meal 3: 2 fruit servings ( usually apples) + 2tsp of cottage cheese

Meal 4: protein shake ( 38g protein+1 cup of oat meal) Post work out

Meal 5: 2 tsp of cottage cheese + 2 tsp of natt peanut butter

Meal 6: cup of skimmed milk

sorry this is an old thread i know

but i just had to at how terrible this diet is... it must be a prime example of how NOT to cut

in particular LMAO @ the 2 TEAspoons of cottage cheese!! that is barely 3-4grms of protein! and unless the meat patty is 120g of protein how he got his protein figure is a mystery

i wonder if this guy is still about to comment on his weight loss?
