I have very little knowledge when it comes to weightlifting and macro-nutrient intake, so this thread serves as a discussion point where hopefully some more knowledgeable members can chime in.
I am trying to get a cutting routine solidified to bring my BF to sub 10%. I am guessing I'm in the high teens as I haven't done much in the past few months due to continuous injuries. I have never actually sat down and crunched the numbers of my diet, so bear with my here and let me know any advice.
I plugged 6 meals into excel and got all the nutritional information for each item. So far my diet comes to 2200 cals composed of 220g protein, 45g fat, 182g carb. I currently weigh approx 165. Plugged into: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/macronut...ulator.htm and it looks like I'm a little high on the protein and a little low on the carbs.
I workout 5x a week and am hoping to hit the BF goal in three months, so mid June, followed by a clean bulk routine maintaining the low BF. Of course to keep a good track of things I need to get my BF measured, that's in the works.
I'll post my meals if needed but it basically comes to:
BFAST: Oats, egg whites, bread, and a banana
Shake: 1 scoop protein with 8oz skim milki
Lunch: Spinach + chicken salad with sunflower seeds. An apple.
Shake: 1 scoop with water.
Dinner: Baked potato, broccoli, small steak
Shake: 1 scoop with 8oz skim milk
A cheat snack throughout the day would be beef bone broth with carrots/celery/potatoes/.
I will adjust the diet as needed as I go through the first couple weeks of it, but do any of these macro numbers look glaringly wrong? Ultimately, am I on the right track?
