Cutting for figure comp - need help (duplicate, ignore)
Hi everyone. I am about 12 weeks out from my first figure comp, and I wanted to get some feedback on my current diet. I have a trainer helping me, but she says that I'm ok with what I'm doing right now diet wise, and that we'll change some things in the next few weeks. Anyway, this is what I'm doing:
4:00 am
30 min cardio
5:30 am
2 EW, 1 whole egg
.5 cup oatmeal
1 cup skim milk
cal - 357, fat - 9 (24%), carb - 42 (45%), prot - 26 (31%)
9:00 am
Home made protein bar (oatmeal, protein powder, natty pb, sf syrup, dry nonfat milk powder)
cal - 248, fat - 8 (27%), carb - 27 (35%), prot - 25 (38%)
12:00 pm
workout (10 min cardio warmup, weights/pilates)
1:00 pm
PWO shake - whey, creatine (The creatine I'm using has dextrose, so I'm counting those carbs here. Should I not count those and add real carbs to my shake?)
cal - 260, fat - 1 (4%), carb - 39 (61%), prot - 23 (36%)
3:00 pm
4 oz chicken breast
.5 cup green beans
.5 cup brown rice
cal - 412, fat - 10 (24%), carb - 38 (37%), prot - 39 (39%)
6:00 pm
4 oz lean hamburger patty
1 cup green beans
cal - 309, fat - 5 (13%), carb - 34 (44%), prot - 32 (42%)
8:30 pm
bed time shake - protein blend, 1 cup skim milk, 1 tbs natty pb
cal - 313, fat - 9 (27%), carb - 17 (22%), prot - 38 (51%)
Totals for the day:
cal - 1790
fat - 45 (23%)
carb - 171 (37%)
prot - 175 (40%)
This is pretty typical for what I've been doing the last 4 weeks. Around 1800 calories, roughly 40/40/20. I still have dairy in my diet, trainer says to drop it around 6 weeks out. I know that is somewhat controversial and I've thought about dropping it sooner. Other than that, I take a multivitamin, glucosamine, and vitamin C. I'll probably be getting some regular creatine (without the dextrose) and some glutamine soon. Also, I have flas oil caps and fish oil caps, but not sure where to fit those in.
I appreciate any feedback.
