Ive been bulking for about 3 months or so now..went from 190 to 205..dont have calipers, so its hard to tell how much bodyfat Ive gained, but I would have to guess its mainly muscle. With that said, I want to do a cut now and see how Im looking. This is my diet, its about 2500-2600 calories (my maitenanace is 3100). I was at 3300 or so. Am I on the right track, or should I change something?

Meal 1: 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of 1% milk, 1 scoop of protein
Meal 2: 2 slices of ww bread, 1 tablespoon of natty peanut butter, 1 cup of 1% milk

LOSE THE MILK HERE AND ADD A LEAN PROTEIN SOURCE LIKE TUNA, CHICKEN BREAST, ETC

Meal 3: Pwo shake, exta protein (after workout)

WHAT'S IN THE PWO SHAKE?

Meal 4: ww pita, 1 slice of provolone, 5 oz of boars head chicken breast

LOSE THE CHEESE....DOESNT PROVIDE MUCH NURTRIONAL VALUE.

Meal 5: 5 oz of extra lean ground beef or 1 can of tuna, apple, and almonds.
Meal 6: Protein shake- water, 1 scoop of protein, 1/2 banana.
Meal 7: Romaine lettuce or spinach, 5 oz chicken breast, olive oil
Meal 8 (before bed): Casein protein, 1 cup 1 % milk, 1 tablespoon natty peanut butter

Workout- 5x5 compounds Mon, Wed, Fri
Cardio: 20 min of hiit Tues, Thur, and 30 min of medium intesity on Sat.

Supps: mulitvitamin, fish oil, ZMA, CEE creatine, and an ECA stack.

looks pretty good IMO. do you know the macro breakdown? also, i put a few suggestions in the quote in CAPS. finally, add more veggies really anywhere during the day. [/quote]Thanks ripstone..I can drop the cheese, thats no issue (although it would drop the calories somewhat). My PWO, I have at my gym...its basically, a little fruit juice (apple, mango), water, banana, and two scoops of protein.

The macro breakdown is pretty close to a 40/30/30...the one thing I am having problems with is meal 2...are you saying to have chicken or tuna with the ww bread and peanut butter? Or do you have another suggestion for that meal...I am attempting to keep the carbs low, but not too low to where its counter-productive. Thanks for your comments.
