16 oz skim milk with 1 scoop whey
2 pieces toast with 2 tbsp smart balance
Vitamin

How does it look? The only supplements I'm using are whey, a pre workout, and a multi. Maybe some BCAA's and creatine.

What's your maintenance level? Need to drop weight slow---adjust macros accordingly. Need about 1gm protein/lb bodyweight, 20-25% calories from fats the rest from carbs.

This.

Weight loss needs to be a slow process and while this may be undesirable your body will thank you for it. Find out your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and subtract NO MORE THAN 500kcals from this amount. Once weightloss plateaus, incorporate a re-feed then start again with a deficit until you reach your goal weight.

Re-feeds aren't the 'end all be all' but they help getting into single digit BF% and getting off that little bit extra.
