TweetThis is some information I have gathered to help those who are looking to cut up.. If there is anything else that may need to be added please feel free...


1. Protein: Eat between .7-1.0 Grams/lb. of bodyweight per day. (e.g. if you weigh 200lbs. then consume between 140g-200g of protein)

2. Carbohydrates: For energy and metabolism. Good ones are oats, rice, whole wheat bread, noodles, etc... eat between 1-1.5 grams/lb. of bodyweight per day.

3. Be sure you are calorie deficient: A calorie intake in the range of 1500-200 calories is needed if you are interested in getting CUT. Calorie deficient means you are putting out more energy than you are taking in. The most effective way is to continue your workouts as planed and add about 30-40 minutes of cardio or aerobic training.

4. Eat according to the clock: This is the most important part of the cutting phase as well. Your goal should be to maintain a high metabolism so that you are "burning" fat even when you are resting. If you eat 6-7 small meals throughout the day, you body will become accustomed to that schedule and will store less fat. If you think it is best to starve yourself and just east one big or even two medium sized meals... think again. Your body will become accustomed to that as well and store more fat for when you are not eating.

Tweeti like %'s better than absolutes , if you aren't going to do a keto diet, then to cut this is what i do:

for caloric intake id say 12*bodyweight (and if yo are really fat maybe reduce this by 5-10%)

percentage of total caloric intake:
P/C/F
50/30/20
40/30/30

once you find your percentage and number of calories of each protein, carbs, fat you can

divide protein and carbs each by 4 to get your grams/day
divide fat by 9 to get your grams/day

i like ot try to aim so you eat 50/30/20 or 40/30/30 at each meal

Postwork is when i tend to up my carbs, also i try to take in my fats and carbs earlier in the morning giving me the rest of the day to "Burn" them off
