Reply With QuoteOne of the problems is that with a 40/40/20 diet there is no need to refeed.
Another thing is that you should really have most of your carbs at meal 1, Pre workout and post workout only. All other meals should be protein, fat and veggies only.

Cutting please help
I have found that cutting is like figuring out the law of relativity both are confusing as hell. I have been cutting for 2-1/2 weeks now and have loss almost no weight at all. It's starting to get annoying just like I am with posting these cutting THREADS. I have been tracking what I have been eating on www.Fitday.com let me give you my stats then a run down of my goals.
Stats:
26 years old
185lbs
5-10 height
33-in. waist
12.5% body fat (using an estimator)
Goals or goal:
168lbs
6% body fat
Typical day
1)meal
1-1/2 scoop of whey protein
1 cup of Oats (cooked with splenda and cinnamon)
2 flax seed capsules
2)meal
1-1/2 scoop of whey protein
2 flax seed capsules
3)meal
5oz chicken breast (cooked in 1/4tsp of olive oil)
1 cup of brown rice
1 cup of Brussels sprouts
2 flax seed capsules
4)meal
1-1/2 scoop of whey protein
5)meal
5oz chicken breast (cooked in 1/4tsp of olive oil)
1 cup of brown rice
1 cup of spinach
6)meal
5 egg whites
1 whole egg
1 cup of brown rice
This all works up to be around 2000 cals and is typically around 40%protein 40%carbs and 20%fat.
Can anyone tell me whats going on with this. I started implementing a refeed day once a week were I consume
around 160g protein(lean) 289g carbs(bagels and pancakes) 20g fat(good fat).
Any ideas or suggestions.
Oh if it helps here is a link to my public profile on fitday note they are not broken up into meals (which is a feature I wish they would include).

I'd drop the carbs like Jodi suggested and up the protein in its place.

how do you keep your macros if you cut carbs out of your last two meals? My last two meals are rice and chicken with 1tbsp nat pb, and low fat cottage cheese, veggies, and 1 slice whole wheat bread and 1 tbsp nat pb.

so i can ditch the 40/40/20 rule at every meal. I mean I do not have to balance carbs, fat, and protein at every meal just as long as I get my daily grams of each. Also should I take more protein in my last two meals.
How close should my macros be? If I am right I take in 44g fat, 221g carbs, and 156g protein. If I divide that evenly among six meals I should eat 48g carbs and protein each meal and 11g fat. When I eat my macros do not balance out to be this much every meal. Some meals contain no fat. ex 3rd meal is 2 cups low fat cottage cheese and 2 cups veggies. 0 fat, 27g protein and 55 grams of carbs.
Example of what I eat:
Breakfast
7:00am 2 cups oatmeal with one scoop whey
9:30am pwo 2 scoops whey and 16 ozs of milk 1/2 cup oats
12:30am salad w/ flax and chicken
3:30pm 1 can tuna with 25 almonds
7:00pm 1/2 cup rice 1tbsp nat pb and chicken
10:00pm 1 cup cottage cheese and 1 slice of whole wheat bread w/ 1tbsp nat pb and veggies.
usally about the same everyday.

as long at the end of the day your macros end up where you want them, that is what is important. Not every meal being perfectly balanced.
