Cutting diet including Olive oil??

[hotstang46]

Current stats.......22yrs old......5'9".....185 pounds...12%bodyfat

Currently in week 4 of 75mg ed fina only cycle. Will run for another four weeks.

Now then. I have started a diet 3 days ago and I'm already dead.

Goes like this.

meal one...7 egg whites, 1egg w/yolk....4 slices lean ham

12 g's fat
350 cals
4 carbs
50 protien

meal 2....3 egg whites 1 w'yolk
4 slices lean ham

11g's fat
250 cals
4g's carbs
32 protien

meal 3....2cans tuna w' mustard

2g's fat
360 cals
0 carbs
60 protein

meal 4.....1 banana 1 hour pre workout

NOT SURE NUTRITIONAL VALUE

meal 5.....2 cans tuna w/mustard 4 slices lean ham

8g's fat
475 cals
4carbs
75 protien

meal 6.....3 egg whites 4 slices lean chicken

5 g's fat
200 cals
0 carbs
30 protien

meal 7.....3 egg whites 4 slices lean chicken

5g's fat
200 cals
0 carbs
30 protien

Totals...43 fat...277 protien..1825 cals....12carbs(minus banana)

Am I correct in saying i need more cals and carbs. Should I use olive oil and how much, I'm thinking I should add it to the tuna. Not sure how much though. I also want to be able to maintain if not build muscle. Please help with the olive oil issue. Please also critique. Again my goal is cutting and I have no efa's which is why i say the olive oil.

THANKS

you def need more cals and carbs..........good sources of fat include olive oil, flax oil, natural peanut butter and CLA> a great fat for cutting....i see you mention most of your meat servings to be in slices???...if they are cold cuts, they are usually processed and loaded w/ sodium...you wont get lean eating that....the extra fat will help with extra calories....id def have more than 12 carbs....you need a decent amount of carbs in the morning and after your workout

Well then......Didn't even think to look at the sodium on the slices of meat.

Good lookin out Bro!!
THANKS!!

One question, I'm obviously a newbie to a strict diet....What is CLA

Dont eat a banana pre workout, get a cell-tech type of post workout shake, with dextrose. If you low carbing, you need about 50 more grams of fat in there, and a bit more protein.

hey im trying to gain weight so should i start adding flax oil or olive oil meals? and are those basically to add more calories to my diet?

Hotstang, if slices of meat are high in sodium boil them for a few mins and that's all. You'll be cutting the sodium in half and keeping the taste. I do it to my ham all the time.
