Please look at my cutting diet.

[SCG2]

Most days are pretty consistent. Here was today's:

7:45am 1 1/3 cups oatmeal
2.5 scoops protein powder
1/2 cup frozen blueberries

10:30am 2 cups cottage cheese
1/3 cup oatmeal
1 granny smith apple
2/3 cups frozen blueberries

1:30 Post-Workout
3 scoops protein powder
32 oz. Gatorade

3:30pm Follow-up Shake
3 scoops protein powder
1/4 cup rice

6:00pm 8 oz. chicken
10 oz red potatoes

9:00pm 4 oz boneless pork ribs

10:00pm Spinach
2 Tbls Olive Oil

Totals: ~3500 Kcals, 348g Protein, 329g Carbs, 83g Fat

Weighed in at 297 lbs today. Trying to get down to ~250 at 8-9%. I'm only one week into my cycle (750mg Test, 300mg Deca), so I'm not really stressing at this point. But two people asked me today if I put on weight! I knew I would probably "fill out" before actually dropping weight, because for several months prior to this, my diet had been shit and my training had been virtually non-existent. So I expected to put on a few pounds in re-gained muscle mass. I'm just wondering what adjustments to make if the scale doesn't start dropping, and how long I should wait to make them.

Oh yeah... cardio five times a week, first thing in the a.m. on an empty stomach. 120 mcg of clen every morning through this week, before switching to ephedrine for 2 weeks (then back and forth for the rest of the cycle). Will use benadryl every third week. also using 200mg of caffeine in the a.m. all through cycle.

 

[again]

common !! someone has got to have some advice for this guy !!! the only comment that i would have would be it seems that you are eating too many sugars ! (fruits),,, also,, for you ppwo meal (post post workout meal) you should have REAL FOOD ,,, not another shake,,, say 6oz of chicken and a plate full of broccoli..... thats my .o2

I'm sorry i went through and tried to fix this for you and all i did was change everything. I don't find your diet to make a lot of sense with the choices. Your not eating enough whole food proteins, to many shakes, To much fruit - or to much fruit placed in the wrong meals. Your last meal makes no sense as your eating just FAT??? Boneless pork ribs is not a proper choice for a lean protein source. ECT

ARGH!

Okay, so should I just eliminate the fruit all together? Are we just talking about the apples? If they are at the wrong times, what are the right times? Is there something inherently bad about all fruits during cutting? My understanding was that blueberries are a fairly low GI food, and they are pretty low in carbs: 1/3 cup = 6g Carbs.

Yeah, I figured the pork isn't the best choice. But I thought as long as I'm hitting my goal in protein/carb/fat breakdown, it wouldn't matter as much. That was actually the first time I've gone with pork. Usually my evening meal is ground beef with the fat drained. Is that acceptable?

The final meal was just fat because it put me at my goal for calories and macro profile. If I'd added protein, I would have gone over in calories. Obviously this is not the right approach?

I only had two shakes that day. I haven't been counting the protein powder in the oatmeal as a "shake." Is this incorrect as well?

Finally, what should my post-workout carbs be?

I know the diet is far from ideal at this point. But at 22% bf, I should have some room for error and still be able to start dropping fat, with the cardio, thermogenics, etc. But obviously I want to get things dialed in as fast as possible. Thanks for the feedback!

I'll send you a pm

In my opinion,I think it's going to be too hard to tell what's going on as far as fat loss is concerned with that much test.Even if you took anti-e's,you are still going to bloat up some.
