Cuz such a thing doesn't exist. You're asking for a one-size-fits-all answer, and I'm pretty sure your foot size is not the same as the guy who's next to you. In the same way, whether you're bulking, cutting or maintaining, there is no single, universal diet that will help you achieve your goals. This kind of thinking is shortsighted. Too many variables are involved, including such things as your metabolism, your daily energy expenditure, your training intensity, etc. Others can't know these things. Therefore, you must learn the methods of "trial and error". You must experiment to see what works for you specifically. Each individual responds differently to various stimuli.
Once again, the Rep is right. There is no possible way to reccomend the perfect diet. You cut carbs to lose weight, but how many? You raise fat to gain strength, but how much? It's all up to the animal doing it. The mirror is really the only thing that can tell you if you're doing it right. If your gut is getting too big...too many carbs, if you're not getting any bigger, to little carbs. You just have to keep an eye on yourself. There really is no such thing as a specific meal plan that helps everyone.
