well id say 2500 caloreis would be right.. so u need to drop something.. i would say work your carbs first... drop your carbs to 150g

also, its really hard to critique a diet when u'v added so much code for color and font.. keep it simple...

u drop your carbs 100g and you'll be where u wanna be.. 271 g is too much for cutting.. imo.. unless ur a calorie burning machine.. which is more rare then i'd like it to be
 
Salt and sodium

Should I lay off the seasoned salt on the baked chicken. I hit them with lemmon pepper and season all for some taste. also have to salt the red beans.

unless you have a health condition like high bp.. i wouldn't worry too much about salt content.. u can always deload it when u wanna cut the bloat

Hello 3J,

i made the changes, my macro split look like this after the maths:

P41%

C33%

F20%

total 94%, does the 4% comes from starches?


Is there an ideal macro split for cutting, lean bulking?


thx for you help.

Hey 3J, stats are up. Any ideas?

Age: 19
Weight: 16 stone
Height: 5,6
bf:26%

Main goal is to lose the fat and then afterwards focus on building the muscle up. I am currently training sort of half and half with regard to cardio and weight but if I can get me a good diet going I will put more focus on cardio and do some minor lifting on the side.

BMR : 2104.52
TDEE:3262.00

My current diet is looking like this.

Usually miss breakfast (i know its terrible but if I do eat its usually cereal)

Meal 1: 65g of canned tuna

Meal 2: 250 chicken breast

Meal 3: 65g of canned tuna

Meal 4: 250 gram chicken breast with stir fried veggies or roasted veggies

Im sure there will be alot of things that will be changed for the better so I really really appreciate any advice you can throw my way

My goal is to lower bodyfat to <15%. I take adderall every morning for ADHD. It looks like I have been undereating the past year or so as I have been at around 1,800 calories per day during that time without losing weight. Part of that is probably too much cheating on weekends but that's over. Do I need to do anything different since my metabolism is probably shot?
