Ive been pushing the scale and food higher than I usually do at my age and decided to take a few weeks to tighten back up, lose about 10lbs then reassess. Current calories are 3500 on training days (5) and 2500 PSMF on off days (2).
Just knowing my body, usually if I set my calories around 2,000 I tighten up real quick and do not lose muscle so this is my goal. Not trying to do a long-extended diet as that isn't needed, just want to tighten up a bit very quickly. I prefer a quick hard diet over a Long slow one.
Just wanted to get some feedback. I am going to try mostly PSMF (as much protein as possible), with some veggies, and a small amount of carbs pre-workout on training days. I was going to keep it simple, 4 meals per day, and because I have a big appetite ...intermittent fast and begin eating after work as I don't really get a chance to eat at work anyway.
Off Days (2) (1976 calories)
Wake up, coffee, work until 4 (intermittent fast)
Meal 1 Shrimp (450 calories)
Meal 2 Eggwhites, 8oz asparagus with cheese (476 calories)
Meal 3 16 oz chicken breast (440 calories)
Meal 4 Egg whites with 1.5 scoop of whey mixed with 8 oz almond milk (610)

Training Days (5) (2010 calories)
Wake up, coffee, work until 4 (intermittent fast)
Meal 1 Shrimp (450 calories)
Meal 2 (pre-workout) Eggwhites + 2 Banana (510)
Meal 3 (post-workout) 16oz Chicken Breast (440 calories)
Meal 4 Egg whites with 1.5 scoop of whey mixed with 8 oz almond milk (610)

Thoughts? Not anything earth shattering, just a simple low calorie diet for 2-3 weeks max to tighten up a bit.
