Default My cutting plan

I realize this is probably terrible and I am just looking for any feedback. This is my first try at a diet plan. I am 205 lbs and I'd guess anywhere from 14-20% BF.

My diet plan is 28% fat, 26% carbs, 46% protein at 2099 calories per day. I believe my maintence level is about 3000. I don't care about the blandness of this eating plan, because I can deal with it.

Total

Calories- 2099
Fat- 62g
Carbs- 155g
Protein- 233g

And without any further ado:

7AM Breakfast
4 Eggs
Oatmeal
3 oz Carrot


Calories- 420
Fat- 22g
Carb- 32g
Protein- 29g


10AM Brunch

Protein- 30g


1PM Lunch
6 oz tuna
3 pkt mustard
2 tbs Relish

6 oz tuna
3 pkt mustard

Your 1 PM meal looks a little too big, with three substantial protein sources that may be better used if you spread them out (unless this is PWO or something).

I think you should replace the tuna in 1 or 2 meals with chicken or ground beef a) for some variety, and b) because of the possible health effects of having that much tuna. Maybe take out the last-meal tuna and mix some whey with cottage cheese and peanut butter.

Try the milk out but you may need to cut down as it has ranks pretty high on the insulin index.

Good luck.

basically what you want to do is separate your carbs and fats. In the morning and during most of the day what you want is mainly protein and carb meals. during the evening and at night you want the protein and fat meals. when you have protein fat and carb meals, your body will burn the carbs for energy then store the fat. the only carbs you
want with your fat meals are vegetables.

Also, it looks like you are mixing your whey with milk if i am correct? During the day you always want to mix your whey with water only. Milk will slow down the absorption of protein in your body, and during the day you want it absorbed as quickly as possible. The only time you want to have milk with your whey is before you go to bed, that way it will absorb the protein slower throughout the night and help a little to stop your body from starving.

well let's take for example the difference between whey isolates and whey concentrates. the reason why people say drink whey isolates during and immediately after working out is because this is a more pure form of protein, free of fats and lactose, which is absorbed by your body more quickly. and the whey concentrates will have more fat or lactose which will slow down the absorption.

Be honest. Its hated on by far many more professionals that recommended. IIRC there have been several legitimate studies regarding PC/PF meals and almost all have come back with no difference.

perhaps, it might not be the most optimal depending on goals...but it is a very easy/convenient way to start a meal plan because a lot of the thought is built into the program as there are more rules...

berardi was the first one i read that used it...
