Cutting, but 2400 calories seems like too much?
Cutting, but 2400 calories seems like too much? DylanBohbot
Hey, Im on a cut right now and I decided this is going to be the year I get super lean. I have always been happy with my body, but now I want to have a visible 6 pack, and look leaner and stay that way. Im usually around 15-18 percent, but I want to get to around ten.
My strength goals are always in progress and im happy with what I hit on my bulk last year ( 430 deadlift, 275 bench, 340 squat @ 5'11 206 lbs) Im at 190 right now and I've been stuck here for about 2 months. My TDEE calculator says for my size, age (just turned 26) I should eat around 2400 calories a day. Honestly though during my bulk I was around 2800-3000 max. I don't need a whole lot of food for some reason ( even though I can put a lot away ) and trying to follow the 2400 makes me feel a bit too full and bloated. and example of my meal plan will be as follows.
Breakfast
1 cup nonfat greek yogurt, 6 raspberries and blueberries each, tablespoon and a half of chopped walnuts, tablespoon hemp hearts, half cup oats. 3 eggs cooked with butter or cooking spray. sometimes ill add two slices of smoked salmon to the eggs.
Lunch
Baked hella seasoned chicken breast ( if you can't cook , you suck ) half cup of rice, half cup roasted potatoes, half cup of peas and a banana.
Snack
Vegan protein (1 scoop ) water, kale, spinach, banana, peanut butter ( no sugar ) 1 tablespoon
Dinner
Fish, or chicken, (maybe beef on occasion) about 4 ounces, with veggies, rice (1 cup )
And im pretty good with my meal plan. I do eat less during the day on Friday so I can eat more at the dinner I go to at my family's house every Friday night, but my workouts are good and challenging and I do about a half hour of cardio everyday. Im going to start incorporating HITT workouts once a week and then add it on to twice a week eventually.
I just want to know If I am doing this right? I know it gets harder to lean out with the less fat you have, I've never been fat but I did go from my bulk weight of 206 to 190 in about 6 months.
If anyone can help me out and give me the best advice it would be super appreciated! Thanks!
