Cutting Diet Critique.

[toxicsambo]

Hey everyone, need an honest breakdown of my current plan. Especially by Mr.X.
Stats - Male, 28, 5'9", 245lbs, 22%BF.

Weight Training is such - 2 exercises per muscle group x 1 heavy set of 6*4*2. Delts/Tri's, Chest/Bi's, Legs/Lats. I only work my body ONCE per week.

Cardio - 30 min/ Treadmill on level 10 incline@a speed of 2.2 /HR between 130~140/ 4-5X a week.

Diet- After reading some of Mr.X's articles and suggestions to others I came up with this ROUGH idea---Cal requirement to burn fat= 2550 Cal/day.

4 egg whites, 1 yolk
1/4 cup of walnuts
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1 Tbls of Flax Seed Oil
2 glasses of water

1 Cup of Non-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup of Uncle Sam oat bran
1/4 cup walnuts
1 Tbls of Flax Seed Oil
2 glasses of water

1 8oz skinless Chicken Breast roasted
1/2 cup of broccolli
1/2 cup of brown rice
1 Tbls Flax Seed Oil
2 glasses of water

1 can water packed Tuna
1 bowl of plain lettuce
1/4 cup of walnuts
1 Tbls Flax Seed Oil
2 glasses of water

1 Isopure shake with water
1 Tbls Flax Seed Oil

Phew...o.k. Hopefully this works out for me. The hardest thing for me to do is EAT. I work the graveyard shift and my meals are flipped and I usually dont eat at work. I'm want to lose fat for once without stripping away all my muscle and ruining my metabolism. All comments are appreciated. Mr.X...ahem.....lol

I would use weights more often this will help you lose fat faster.. I would eat your cottage cheese toward the end of the day, unless you have a fondness for plain lettuce:argh I would replace it with another fat free protein. And that is a lot of fiber and flax seed oil.. you shouldnt have a problem with a bowel movement EVER!!!

ABSOLUTELY do not put a cap on your water intake.. just keep takin it in..

good luck. and remember this is just my thoughts.. someone else may completely disagree with me.

OH and eat some Yogurt for Christ sake

I would replace flax with fish oil, much better for you.

This was my worry... 8 glasses is for "normal" (non-active) people. And water is a great filler when your hungry. Buy a gallon picnic pitcher. They seal up good so you can take it with you.

So how do you workout now, prediet? Is this your current workout plan, or all new?

How long do you plan to stay on this? You should have a goal to strive for.


And as far as fish oil... nasty! At least the one time I bought it. Came in gel caps and made be burp fish all day. After two weeks, I just could not take it anymore!

aha someone agrees with me.. that is it, I am an official helper guy! Now where is the woot thingy?
