Ok....on days during my cut where I just lift weights, how big should my PWO shake consist be? I plan on having about 2400-2500 calories a day spaced out through seven meals so what should I put in my PWO shake to make sure I maintain muscle....while I was bulking my shake consisted of 70g oatmeal, 1 scoop whey, and 5 oz. banana

Depends on your lean mass.... I like to keep PWO shakes constant cutting and bulking - when starting to cut the last place you want to take out calories is pre and post workout.

So I would still aim for:
0.5g carbs per pound lean mass
0.25-0.33g protein per pound lean mass

Some people are a little cautious of these amounts - so if you are, then at least aim for something around:
0.33-0.5g carbs
0.2-0.33g protein

Or, have:
0.33g carbs
0.2g protein

In your PWO shake and then have the same in your PWO meal ~1 hr later.
