Hi, after bulking up this past year I've gained 30 lbs, but not all of it lean, and I have lost all ab definition whatsoever so I am on a cut to gradually shave off this excess fat. I'm supplementing heavily with BCAA's, flax seed oil, omega 3's, fish oil, and drive/rpm. I am hungry ALL the time! My diet is as follows:
Morning- bowl of oatmeal, banana, protein shake
Snack- 13 almonds
Lunch- Large salad romaine lettuce with 2 tbsp balsamic vinagerette dressing, 1 chicken breast, banana
snack- 13 almonds
dinner- same as lunch but 2 chicken breasts
nighttime snack- protein shake with banana
supplementation throughout the day as prescribed preworkout shake of whey, oats, peanutbutter blended
and postworkout dextrose, whey, BCAA's followed by dinner with slightly larger servings than normal
I weigh 180 now and am looking to get to 165-170 with about 8%bf in 8-10 weeks and my routine is designed for hypertrophy with high rep ranges. It is a 4 day split focusing on compound movements where I go heavy in the morning and in the afternoon/evening superset and go more for the "pump". A lot of my friends (eastern europeans) do this. This is my first cut so I want to do it right with minimal muscle loss. This is my third day right now cutting and honestly I feel like crap because I am so hungry all the time. Is this how it is supposed to be? I have read high protein/fat cutting back on carbs a bit coupled by calorie restriction and proper supplementation to preserve muscle. Any advice on what I am doing right now is much appreciated. Thanks.
