cutting diet

[italia215]

i just started my 8-10wk cutter . this is what it looks like:

1800-2000cals/day
morning cardio eod
workout 5-6 days/wk (if 6 it's a circuit routine day)
regular post workout cardio at LEAST eod
25mg ephedrene pre cardio + workout
200mg caffeine pre cardio + workout
500mg test wk
liquidex .25mg ed

im going all out on this one as you can see by the amount of cardio. i normally workout 5-6 days/wk anyway but rotate muscle groups accordingly. now, as far as the cals go, i need to get more specific with the ratios of pro/carb/fat. im looking to drop maximum bf and add a few lbs lean muscle. what would you suggest for my ratio??

thanks

First off i need to know your body weight, bf%, height etc.
No matter what, i think doing cardio post workout and in the mrning is too much, you will constantly be catabolic. I would go pre breakfats cardio, 4 x a week, 30 minutes low intensity.

I would keep my carbs only in breakfast, and post workout. Say for breakfast a 1/2-2/3 cup of oatmeal, and post workout, in the form of dextrose/malodextrin combo. The rest of the meal would consist of protein, healthy fats, and fiborous veggies, or salads

i realize the cardio sounds a bit much but the afternoon cardio would be a super curcuit. i'll cut back. right now im 5'11" 190 @ 17%bf. for the last few months ive been cutting back on cals and slimming down naturally from 215. my bf was unfortunetly about the same though. ive lost some good muscle that i had but also fat too. so im looking to get that 10lbs of muscle back through the test and drop about 10-15 of pure fat over the next 8-10 wks.

i looks like im overtraining but i dont feel like it. im addicted to working out! i feel like a fat piece of shit if i dont.

Follow some sort of Keto diet. Ratios 30% Protein/ 70 % Fat limit carbs to 1 day a week. Then once a week do a carb up. If you need more info PM me.

keto means muscle loss, good for weight loss, bad for retaining muscle

I would try high protein, moderate fat, low carbs

400g protein
75g carbs (50g malo/dextrose combo post workout)
75g good fats

i did ckd about a month ago. got good results but the muscle loss was definitely there. i considered it but i just wouldnt be able to stick to it for 8-10wks. i dont think anyone could. 2wks was enough for me.
this is what i had in mind for a ratio:

-pro 250g (1000 cals)
-carb 75-100g (3-400 cals)
-fat 75g (675 cals)
totals cals = roughly 2000 calories a day
if anything there would be an increase in protein which im sure will happen. but basically a 50/30/20 diet

should be easy to stick to and get decent results

I would raise protein 50-100 grams

^^honestly its hard not to get in 300g of protein now cause of all the chicken and tuna im eating. i guess i'll drop a few off the carbs and fat to compensate then.
