Cutting diet breakdown

[cecray3]

This is my planned cutting diet (based upon the palumbo diet). If anyone can give me feedback, insight, opinions and/or otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated (especially the vets and/or "big dogs").

Meal 1: 2 servings whey protein; 3 tbsp all natural pb; 1 tbsp evoo; 1 tbsp coconut oil

Meal 2: 6 omega-3 eggs

Meal 3: 2 servings whey protein; 3 tbsp all natural pb

Meal 4: 2 large chicken breasts boneless/skinless; 2 omega-3 eggs; 1 tbsp evoo

Meal 5: 2 servings whey protein; 2 tbsp all natural pb; 1 tbsp evoo; 1 tbsp coconut oil

Meal 6: 4 omega-3 eggs


Macros come out to be: 3170 kcal / 320g protein (40%) / 44g carb (5%) / 196g fat (55%)

Also, I'm 29 and 5'11 220 at 17.5% bf needing to get back down to <8% bf

Any feedback you guys can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and LIFT STRONG!

Someone please give me some insight/feedback. Does this look like an effective cutting diet?

bro, you need to lower the fat% and up the protein % more to equal them out. I'm also a fan of carb cycling, but thats just me. If youre going to go keto like it seems youre planning on doing, I would lower the fat and up the protein. The exact percentages will have to be based on what works for you, maybe start at 60% protein 35%fat 5%carb and see and lower the fat% if need be, but then again its very individual so play around with it a bit and see what works, but i would definitely have my protein% higher than fat% imo. Also, I would use more evoo as your main source of fats rather than natty pb, as I see pb seems to be your main source of fats, but then again I just respond much better to oils. If you really want to do things the right way and have some cash to spare, I would PM Phil and ask for his methods.

thats waaaaaaaaaaaaay more fat than even Palumbo suggests

Do a search for Palumbo's diet. Better yet maybe head to his forum.

Toomuch fats, and combined with carbs???? i do agree with PHIL.

thanks for the feedback and the advice. I've really never done a "cutting" diet before (as if it's not apparent to everyone on this thread)
just trying to get back to where I once was. thanks

I like using Lyle McDonald's UD 2.0 or, if Im in a hurry, his PSMF diet.
