Cutting diet

[momentum333]

Hey, I've been looking to make a structured nutritional plan for cutting and am hoping you guys can help me out. I am 5'10, 174 lbs and looking to lose from 7-9 pounds. I would like help making a diet plan. This is idea right now:

Meal 1 : 2 packs of oatmeal, 6 eggs (3 yolks)

Meal 2: Can of tuna or chicken breast

Meal 3: Chicken Salad, 1/2 cup of almonds

Meal 4: Small potato, veggies and fish

Post Workout: Protein shake, dextrose

Meal 6: Cup of rice and meat

Thanks.

Meal 1 : 2 packs of oatmeal, 6 eggs (3 yolks)

(I don't think you need that many Yolks, I'd reduce the Yolks to one, and keep the Whites.)

Meal 2: Can of tuna or chicken breast

(Owing to the Fish in your diet already, I'd keep the chicken and get rid of the Tuna. Your Mercury intake per day could be a bit too high frankly.)

Meal 3: Chicken Salad, 1/2 cup of almonds

(Perfectly fine, although I'd half 1/4 Cup of Almonds, as you're probably getting about 300-350 calories off the Almonds alone.)

Meal 4: Small potato, veggies and fish

(If you're having Fish later, I'd reduce Fish to about 50g, so you're not exceeding 100g per day, just to keep your Mercury levels in check, and help the body have a better chance to chelate the Mercury, because providing it's low Mercury Fish, have 50g in two portions a day should be fine.

You can always replace some of the Fish Protein you remove, by adding a small portion of things like Peas, Beans Lentils, Mushrooms or Rice, then owing to the Carbs in them, just reduce your Carb source accordingly.)

Post Workout: Protein shake, dextrose

(Fine.)

Meal 6: Cup of rice and meat

(Fine, but if you're concerned about Rice, plump for Brown or Wild over White.)

Thanks.

no where near enough calories, don't decrease them all at once..in fact try moving more then decreasing cal's

Thanks guys, Boss, I like your ideas. I'm going to try that. And swanso, how many calories should I aim at eating per day?

[swanso5]

don;t worry about cal counting yet, get the right food choices and timing down first but at 174pds start at about 2100 but chances are you're probably not even there yet so you'll need to exercise more while keeping cal's where they were before

I was aiming for about 2200 Cals, I added a few things here and there. I was eating close to 3500 Cals a day and not putting weight on. So, would it be a good idea to slowly decrease, maybe aim for 3000 for a week, then 2500 instead of cutting all at once. I guess the timing would be the biggest thing for me then. Thanks
