Meal plan help. I want to get cut

[Be Strong Blackman]

Any tips on what I should eat. I currently workout 5-6 days a week. Weight lifting, run, cycle and fasting. I’m strong but can’t seem to get my diet right to cut fat.

Any tips? On meal plans or even workouts? I’m messing up somewhere.

How many cals are you consuming daily?
What are you currently eating?
Define “cut”. What’s the real tangible goal?

I used to have a very active lifestyle til this winter.

Usually I’ll have a smoothie, 3 egg omelette with veggies inside (green and yellow peppers and mushrooms) and salsa on top. An avocado.
then granola cereal... 2 bowls a day. The cereal is filling. Some times I’ll have a salad with fish since I’ve cut out other types of meat. I have pizza once a week. That’s 1k calories... I thought it was fine... I’m starting to think it isn’t

I cut out sugar two months ago but I still can’t really reduce my fat. I’ve been reading and think I need to up my protein... I think I’ve been eating too many carbs from cereal and not burning it off since I do IT work. I used to think a calorie is a calorie... I don’t think so anymore. I think I have around 2000 calories a day. I try to eat when I’m hungry.

That’s the goal.

Meal 1: 4 Eggs, 150g Greens

Meal 2: 2 Scoops Whey, 1 tbsp Almond Butter

Meal 3: 200g Chicken Breast, 1 Medium Avocado, 150g Greens

Meal 4: 2 Scoops Whey, 1 tbsp Almond Butter

Meal 5: 200g Lean Beef Mince (10% fat), 150g Greens


I saw that meal plan... gonna follow. But gonna substitute the beef and chicken for fish

Pause but obviously you are in good shape. So I get what you generally mean by getting cut. That said, if you don’t have the muscle mass in those photos the. It’s not going to just appear while dieting.

I think the issue is you don’t know how many calories you are eating. My perspective is that when you are trying to cut just fat and you are already leanish, you have to know the metrics on what you are eating or you are just spinning wheels.

What do you put in the smoothie?

Assuming that's actually OP in the picture, I would imagine his exercise plan (which he didn't post) isn't optimal either.

You're lifting, running, and cycling 5-6 days a week and still ain't cut? Either your calories are being overshot or your exercise intensity is too low (or both).

What do you put in the smoothie?

1 Lemon, ginger, spinach, mangoes or blueberries.

I don't really know my maxes... I never max out. I usually bench 225 6 times, squat 310 4 times, deadlift 310 4 times (4 sets of all). I'm not really trynna get any more muscle though... I think I have enough muscle mass...just want to reduce my fat. I've been on a new meal plan that I posted and am seeing results.

It doesn't matter what you eat, scientifically speaking; calories in vs calories out. Working out keeps you toned, eating less of anything, reduces fat.

This was shown from the twinkie and Taubes diet. Your body will literally burn anything quickly, so long as its under 2000kal.

I've upped my protein and reduced my carbs. Probably fewer calories though. But I read that the body will store excessive carbs/sugar...in forms of fat. The body doesn't store protein, except for muscle development/growth.
