Thread: Cutting for a week, advice appreciated

Hey ya'll, I am going on a cruise next week and will be cutting a little this week for it. I stay relatively lean and am muscular (more so than in my gallery pic now, but just as lean). It sounds ignorant, but I want to cut just a little more for a little more effect. I however do not want to lose muscle mass. I just had a bf% test and am 7% right now. I am 5'7.5", 162 lbs. I generally consume 50g protein every 3 hours I am awake (includes 50g @ 1 hour preworkout, a 1.5 hour workout, 50g immediately post w/o, and then 50g lean animal protein one hour later). I guess the question I have is that should I eliminate carbs in the morning and have carbs only pre and post w/o this week (if at all?) and would you all suggest carb cycling during a cut week? What carbs would you recommend during the cut week pre and post w/o (brown rice, oats, and sweet potatoes or banana, glucose, and maltodextrin)?I am pretty sensitive to having carbs in the morning as I am diabetic. Also, do you think I could/should lower my protein intake this week on a cut without the muscle loss effect? Thanks for any advice!

it basically takes the body a good 7 days to adjust to a new diet...

I would have carbs 1st thing in the am, then pre & post wo, that's it...
