Critique My Diet

[Skins888]

I'm eating about 1750-1800 cals a day.
I'm 5'5 140 lbs BMR is about 1400
Looking to cut fat and build muscle

I eat about 5-6 meals a day depending on what time I wake up/go to sleep. I eat clean foods such as grilled chicken, ground turkey, tuna, lots of greens, sweet potatoes, quinoa, cottage cheese, etc.

I also work out 5-6 days a week. Chest/tri, back/bi, legs, shoulders/abs. I do cardio 4-6 times a week. Sometimes fasted in the morning. Sometimes post workout. Sometimes both.

Just want to make sure my diet is in check before starting another cycle of anavar

BF% is about 22-23% at the moment. Looking to get down to like 125-130ish. Maybe smaller. looking for like a "fitness/figure" look as opposed to female physique look

Do you find it hard to loose weight?

Do you find it hard to loose weight?

Generally I dont. I am pretty sure that I have a mesomorph body type so its not to hard for me to lose weight. But If i stop doing cardio and weight training, the weight packs on very quickly. I have an hour glass figure and a majority of my weight i would say is in my hips. and that is the last place for it to leave. Unfortunately that comes with the territory of being a woman and having estrogen

Don't give general ideas... list your meals in order of what you eat and give the quantity

Don't give general ideas... list your meals in order of what you eat and give the quantity

Meal 1: 1/2 cop Oats with one scoop of whey Protein
Meal 2: 1.5 scoops of Whey with some kind of fruit or small serving of almonds
Meal 3: 4oz of meat (chicken, tuna, ground turkey etc), 1 cup greens usually Broc. and 1/2 Sweet potato
Meal 4: Post WO, 1.5 scoops of Whey
Meal 5: Same as meal 3 without carbs
Meal 6: Cottage cheese or Casein shake before bed

On non lifting days, i do not have a PWO shake and some days when I sleep later, i end up having 5 meals as opposed to 6, but it is planned accordingly.


Some days I switch a few things up

when I add this up this is just over 1000 calories. add carbs on PWO drink and too your meal 5 or if you are hungry at breakfast add more carbs there. On days you don't train take all but 50g of carbs out and add the green leafy stuff...what type of cardio do you do? On heavy carb days (other than leg training days) try HIIT cardio preferably on the stepmill for about 20 min then finish 10 min on treadmill. low carb days just do the treadmill for 30min on about 3.0 and 8-10 degree incline

I started using Udo's Oil. I have trouble getting enough healthy fat and keeping LDL at safe level. I mix it with casein protein shake before bed.
This gives omegas!

I cut some stubborn pounds by using intermittent fasting, see hodge twins on youtube. if not familiar. Dr Mercola seems to like it.
