I am in the process of making a cutting plan. This is what I got so far what you guys think.

I do 20 minutes of light cardio after each workout. I typically burn +/- 250cal. I am currently taking Albuterol so I can't do any thing intense for cardio or it feels like my heart will explode lol.

Meal 1 calorie/fat/carb/protein
150g egg whites (about 8) 150/0/6/30
2 slice whole wheat bread 150/1.5/27/6

Meal 2 calorie/fat/carb/protein
7oz skinless chicken breast 210/2.6/0/43
1 cup boiled baby carrots 140/0/32/4
1 cup white rice 205/0.4/44.5/4.3

Meal 3 calorie/fat/carb/protein
7oz skinless chicken breast 210/2.6/0/43
1 cup boiled broccoli 54/0.6/11.2/3.8
1 cup white rice 205/0.4/44.5/4.3

Meal 4 calorie/fat/carb/protein
Whey protein shake PWO 240/2/6/48

Meal 5 calorie/fat/carb/protein
7oz skinless chicken breast 210/2.6/0/43
1 cup boiled broccoli 54/0.6/11.2/3.8
1 full avocado 240/22/13/3

Total calorie/fat/carb/protein
2263/35/237/243

What you guys think more fat less carbs? Or is everything g2g
 
I like to keep it simple and I am quite busy throughout the week. I don't have much time for changing meals all the time. I want to keep the same diet plan for my cut. I cook my meals in bulk (5-7 days worth at a time). Do you think I should cut some of the rice down and add some almonds? What's a good amount of fats needed? Also what are some good sources of fats?
Thanks
 
There's not really a perfect number that suits everybody. 40/40/20 is generally a good place to start and then just tweak it from there according to what works best for you.
 
I have a question about your training; abs day? Twice?

I've never ever heard of a four day split + two abs days being done over a seven day period. I almost never see/hear of even one dedicated abs day to begin with.
 
It's more of a rest day. I just do 20-30min of abs and cardio. I go to the gym everyday so I don't do the scheduled Monday-Sunday thing. I just do what ever is up next.

Ah ok, that makes a lot more sense. Looks very similar to my split, except I break tris/bis out into their own day with whatever else I feel I missed.
 
Add another day to do arms. You could also separate leg day to front legs, and hamstring. Do morning cardio. Read up about intermittent fasting, it's an interesting topic.
But all this depends on how you are, if you are carb sensitive and so on. I recommend also to start high on calories and lower in cardio. After 1-2 weeks (or when it stopps working/ you stop cutting down) than up the cardio, when that stops working, lower calories and so on.
 
Why white rice? It worked ok up until 30, now at 41 it puffs me. Brown rice and even better yam work better for me.
