Big Nate's Journal
So today was the day i started cutting...i weighed in at 261(very bloated)... probably 18%bf and hoping to get it down to 9% by June...
my diet will be low carb high protein diet..with about 300-350g of protein daily and less than 100g or carbs...and im going to try to keep my caloric intake down to about 2000 daily...Im starting off with low intensity high rep lifting and 20 min. cardio directly after lifting to maximize fat loss..on tuesday and thursdays i plan on doing this 2x a day and fri-sun run mornings and workout/run in the evenings...any input or help is appreciated...thanks

Only 100 carbs at 261 is too low for a long cut but fine for a one or two week jump start. When I cut in the past I would eat 150-200 carbs a day but once a week have a 350+ carb day.

yeah its just a starting out thing...then once i get past the first 2 weeks im going to take a fat burner...probably methyl ripped or BSN has a new one called atro-phex that i might try out...from what do you think i should get the majority of my carbs? i try to get most of my carbs with fruit and a couple crackers that i eat with my tuna...plus some is in the beef jerky and protein shakes

thats only 15g of protien your going to need alot more eggs than that. My typical breakfest is 12 egg whites 2 whole eggs and a cup of oatmeal around 50g of protien and 50g carbs. I'm dropping weight and gaining strength on this diet, taking in 300g protien 225g carbs and 100g fats

As Patrick said, make sure you do re-feed days for your carbs if you are going ultra-low on them.
I didn't do the numbers on that diet, but it doesn't look like much food. Personally, I would melt away on that diet. Can you post up the macros? As Stuk said, you seem to be relying on too many shakes......

That isn't enough cals man, especially at your age.......I would add some more healthy fats in. Like olive oil in the morning shake or something and maybe some in the afternoon.
Stuk is lighter than you and he is taking in 3k cals and losing weight. You don't want to drop muscle man. IMO, you need to up your protein, reduce carbs to only in the morning and surrounding your training and up the healthy fats a little. This is your pre-workout meal? Joke right? Quote:

You need to carb-up before you train. After you train, eat carbs as well. Bateman posted some good carbs above (oatmeal, sweet potatoes, rice, etc). 400g of protein is enough.......
I would start @ 3k and see how it works out. If you don't lose weight, lower it. With the right diet and cardio, you will drop enough. On non-training days, I would only eat complex carbs for breakfast (not many) and only trace carbs rest of the day. For your re-feeding day, don't go insane and blow your whole week, but you do need to carb up. EDIT: Was the pre-workout meal above what you did for you bench max attempt this week?
