Diet help

[wizkid25]

I would like to start a cutting diet very soon, preferably March 1, and i was wondering if ya'll can give me a hand.

Current stats are 18y/o, 5'7' 190lbs and approx. 15%, (i was in the 160 range in september at around 12%)

My goal is 10% and 175 pounds...

I dieted last spring.. and really messed things up. Lost like 15 pounds in two weeks along with all my strength.

Was wondering what supplements and tips you all can give me... i need help writing a diet.

Usually X says to start at your weight x 12

so for you it would be:

190 x 12 = 2280 calories a day

This should then be split up into:

40% protein 30%carbs 30% fat

So thats

228g Protein
171g carbs
76g Fat

try to find yourself food for a diet that will make these values aproximatley.

I'm looking into the Metabolic Diet... but it looks to me like any other diet.. so I might just right my own. I'm only into dropping bf% now... and gain LBM if possible...

I was thinking of just doing a classic high protein (1.5-2g protein per lb) and low carbs and moderate fats.

I'm just having trouble figuring out numbers... so making meal plans right now is close to impossible.

I don't think i can handle being in ketosis..... but i will try having my only source of carbs from oatmeal in the morning and dextrose PW... and cottage cheese during the day.
This will be one of the toughest things to do ever.

gotta make sacrifices somewhere...how bad do you wanna lose that fat??? Ketosis isn't such a bad thing, i kinda like not feeling like a fatass, with my stomach full of food all day...but that's me...

Ok, how about 40%protein/20%carbs/40%fat
weight x 12 ?

you get some carbs in the AM and maybe some post workout
