I've cut out my occasional beer, hell I've cut out bbq sauce.
In order to cut down to the 8% is there anything above that you would alter/change?
I throw in an avocado w/ lunch when I can - but those damn things are too f'n expensive.
Besides upping my fats - is there anything else you'd add/take away from diet?
I want a core shred worthy of stepping on stage - but no plans of doing so. Just want it.
When i started lifting I was 165lbs - I've bulked to 208, but sit comfortably around 190.

Any and all thoughts/input are appreciated.

Well. regardless - if anyone comes across this thread now or in the future w/ a similar meal plan I can tell them it's working quite nicely.

Good protein, real low carbs, pushing water, not much salt. Looks like a water cut. I would say just be careful not to get depleted.

If I did this diet, I couldn´t function at all. You´re definitely eating very little compared to your workload.

Also, I think your way overcomplicating your meal timing. Eating those little bites if food every 30-60minutes is absolutely unnecessary. Just sit down and have a meal every 2-3 hours.

Why are you eating that often? Sometimes even 30mins apart? Is there a reason?

Just hit your daily calorie and macro goals for the day and you should be fine...

How much calories are you taking in a day? How much calories do you burn a day?
You need to be a caloric deficit but don't overdue it with all the exercise
