Thats what I'm wondering. I wouldn't know what to eat if I had less than 200 carbs in bulking mode. Have to spoon a whole jar of peanut butter just to get my calories in.

I do want to make note that I don't consider my plan a nutritionally complete meal plan. I always supplement with a multi vitamin and fish oil because I do not consume enough fruits and vegetables or omega 3 fatty acids for my liking. I wasn't really trying to give people a diet plan with this thread, I was just showing what I do and how being a little "lazier" with my food choices has still worked for me as long as I stick to it. Wanted to give examples of the types of meals that people can do to help curb hunger and keep on track.
As the weeks go on, I will reduce my calorie intake to match up with what inevitably will be a slower metabolic rate. I'm currently on the second week of my cut, and although I dropped good weight the first week I nonetheless reduced my calories to 2370. Next week I will reduce them to around 2200. The next week after that, I will take a break from my diet and bump it up to 2700 for a week just to give my body a recharge before going on a larger restriction again the week after that.
My life situation is in my favor right now for workout reasons. I eat breakfast around 8 AM then workout around 10 AM. Its pretty much ideal I think. If you work out in the evening just make sure to leave enough calories at the end of your day to satisfy your post-workout hunger and protein needs.
im confused, you eat that much but you wanna lose weight?
It looks like you want to gain mass?

No, if I wanted to gain mass I would eat over 3000 calories.
I want to lose weight, so I am eating 2500 at the start of the plan, and right now 2400 the next week. I lost almost 2 lbs my first week eating 2500 (some of it was definitely water weight)
If you aren't as active as me, you may need to eat less. No young male should have to eat less than 2200-2300 though, if you do then chances are you need to start exercising more.
IF wave brehs
Trader Joe's pizzas & raviolis (600-800 calories), 8 oz of of fish on rest days, ~20 oz of chicken on lift days (800-1100 calories with a glass of OJ with fiber in it), 100g unflavored whey isolate shake (800 calories with milk and chocolate syrup)
My maintenance is a lil over 3000.... I fill the rest of my calories up with shyt like veggies or Pop Tarts
I don't think you need to count every gram and calorie. I use a food scale to cook unmeasured shyt but a lot of prepackaged meals do the work for you. Its not that complex. I hate agonizing over food.

Brehs. My schedule is 6a-4p mon-thurs. I dont have time to prepare breakfast in the morning.
Is there anything quick I can do to supplement? I feel like thats one thing im missing from my regimen
Im 6' 200. Really tryna lose about 8 lbs(got a lil lower belly fat) gain some muscle. Fell off of my weight lifting for a couple of years cuz of back problems from football.
Just recently start running (about 6-8 miles a week). Went from 205 to 200 in two weeks so i think im headed in the right direction.
