Just for the kind of things to eat. real meals instead of powdered shakes and meal bars. The dif between my bulking and cutting diets is the the amount of carbs.

You need to learn to eat healthy, then apply that knowledge to a BB diet not the other way round. If yoiu look at my diet primarily it is there to look after my health, secondly to pack on muscle and by its' very nature will keep fat gain to a minimum. I would apply the same principles to a cutting diet. High in protein(for muscle maintainance) high in veggies(for fibre and to fill yourself up with minimal calories) a few very complex carbs such as brown rice, oats yams etc and enough EFA to keep you healthy. If you can avoid sat fats and simple carbs excellent. Eat every 2-3 hours depending on how fast your metabolism is. I've read about not eating fat and carb at the same meal as your body is more likely to convert to fat.

I think you will find this very useful. click on the bottom of the three options. It is an excel ss, make sure you select the either the male or female sheet.

Get in plenty of cardio, each session should last at least 45mins, apparently your body doesn't start to burn fat until 20mins into excerise.

Once you have revamped your diet(it does need revamping) post it again. Mines been up twice now and it still needs adjusting. But the proof of the pudding as they say, Try it out monitor your weight,bf, health, energy and fitness levels. Never sacrifice haelth for weight loss. Lose weight in a healthy manner and it will stay off!!!!!

Above all remember to stay away from the nuttella brekfast shake!!!!! I promise I won't tell you hao good it tastes untill you've finished your cut!!!!!!
Then I will mix you one up myself!!!!!!

Good luck with the diet, hope to see cutII soon!!!
