This is the last month of my attempted mass gains. Starting the March 1st through May 15th, I'll be going full force to try and get as shredded as possible (as close to 10% I can get).
Currently, I stand at 185-190 lbs (depending on the day), 25% body fat. For my mass building, I have done all I could to get as close to 375g of protein. My carb/fat intake is pretty low (and it's healthy fats & carbs). My daily diet is: 1% fat cottage cheese (about 156g of protein), protein isolate shakes (125g protein), lean tuna (39g of protein), and the rest is various other protein sources. I also usually have an orange and veggies everyday. In actuality, I probably don't get enough carbs. My Sat & Sun have been cheat days, but usually that just means I don't count my calories, and still eat relatively well.
I lift weights 3-4 times a week.
I've gotten my cotisol/testo levels checked and am getting them to proper levels (cotisol too high, test way low for being 27 yrs old).
When I cut, I'll be doing a stack of Animal Cuts/Pak/Nitro along with the usual CLA, fish oil, etc.
The reason for all this long-winded background is because I wanted to give you a framework to what I've done. I want to let you know I'm serious about this, so no one will waste their time on me.
For the cutting months, what protein/fat/carb level should I do? I'm educated in healthy protein/fats/carbs, so I will keep that up. I have a daily food spreadsheet, so whatever you recommend will be figured out using the whole foods I eat. I just need guidance. I've spent a couple thousand on personal training at the gym, and have not gotten that one-on-one treatment I was PAYING for - just generic advice.
Also, for my cutting workouts/cardio advice, should I copy/paste this in that section in the forum?
PLEASE HELP.
