looks like youve got it pretty much in check.

What are your stats?

 

[Suareezay]

looks good to me.

2-3 pounds a week sounds a little high, but if youre performance is still good, then keep at it.

 

[TheMilkMan]

how often do you drink milk? cuz the sugar content is pretty high and you should maybe shoot to eat tuna canned in water rather than oil

just some suggestions, but i like the overall plan... how about some meal breakdowns???

Musculo Fuerte:
Present stats - 6'3, 224lbs and about an 11/12% bf

Suareezay:
To be honest I believe you are probably right, strength is a little shot, due to lack of real simple carbs. First time dieting as well so its a nightmare to deal with

MilkDaScow:
First thing in the morning and straight after training. The only times I believe sugar should be ingested. First thing to stop the post-night catabolism and after training to spike insulin levels to prompt the introduction of carbs a half hour later.

What do you mean by meal breakdown and I'll be happy to oblige.

 

[TheMilkMan]

I was just wondering what your meals look like... like when you eat and the foods your eat during certain meals

 

[Musculo Fuerte]

Yeah, that looks like it coorelates well with your stats. I guess, if it works for you, go for it! Cutting's not just a matter of how much, when, what, etc. but also trial and error, which you've probably discovered.

if thats the case, up your carbs. make sure to get some carbs in pre-workout, and carb up post workout. no reason for strength to be tanked 5 weeks in.

What carb source would you recommmend?

I wont use pasta during a cutter diet as it A:bloats me B: piles the weight on, so anything cleaner would be good.

What about a baked potato and at what time would you suggest pulling it off the menu?

bloating I can understand, but how do you figure, for example, 50g of carbs from pasta would "pile on the weight" any more than 50g of carbs from a "clean" carb source such as brown rice?

any standard carb source is fine. rice, potatoes, oats, whole wheat breads.

FWIW, as I type this I am currently chomping on my typical pwo meal of a box of special K, 60g low fat ice cream, calorie free carmel sauce, 3 cups of milk, and 140g frozen berries all while recomposing nicely. clean is overrated.
