Switch the whey to a casein blend during the day (post-WO is fine, though) and eat much, much more produce. Your current diet is very acidic, which will make cutting much more difficult.

By produce, meaning more whole foods like vegetables and meat, and less shakes?

[Rodja]

Produce is fruits and vegetables.

You may not need to eliminate them, but adding produce into every meal should be your goal. I would definitely add some sort of fruit with your breakfast.

Brotelligence. Fruit is a critical part of my diet and I stay lean (<10%) year round.
