1000 cals? That's way too low man. Not even contest dieters in their last weeks go that low O.o

Look at all those **** carbs! I had no idea that spaghetti contained so many. Are those carbs good on a cut?

[LxSport]

Haha.. no unfortunately they're not the best thing for you [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I don't even really eat pasta on a bulk, but I would especially not eat a lot of it on a cut. With a cut you want to stick with fibrous starchy carbs (oatmeal, sweet potatoes), and lots of green leafy veggies.

Trained well but didn't eat so good. Just wasn't very hungry today. I still have another meal to go but I doubt it will be much more than 200 cal or so.

It looks to me that your calories are very very low, especially for somebody with a 200+ bodyweight. I think you need to worry more about your food sources and macronutrient ratios rather than going so low calorie. Also, I think you could use some more volume in your workouts- try adding in a couple other exercises or do more sets.

If I had of had a ride home from the gym I could have worked my legs today. Eating was spot on.

Foods eaten today:

Chicken breast
Banana
4 slice of turkey breast roll on whole wheat
1/2 turkey breast

Your macros and food sources here are pretty bad here in all honesty. Your carb sources should come primarily from stuff like oatmeal, brown rice, and sweet potatoes while proteins should be whole and lean (turkey and chicken breast are fine, but avoid deli cuts).

Here are some questions you need to be asking yourself:
- How many times am I eating a day?
- How much water am I taking in a day?
- How many calories am I setting for myself day by day and am I hitting that mark?
- How many carbs make up for that total calorie intake? Protein? Fats? (macro nutrient ratios)
- From where am I getting these different nutrients? Are these sources optimal?
- Am I spiking insulin at non-optimal times of the day or am I keeping insulin levels low and constant throughout most of the day?
- How intense is my training? Can I be doing more in the weightroom? How many sets am I hitting? How many to failure? Etc.

I hope addressing these questions helps you out a lot on your journey to drop the body fat.
