Protein
BCAA’s during cardio

ECA in the morning
I am also have Activate Xtreme on the way and I want to add Animal Cuts to the mix

How does all this look? I am most concerned about muscle loss during my cut, but I am willing to deal with a little bit. Will I need to do a keto diet like CKD in order to get to 5-8% bf or will what I am doing work? Is muscle loss common with CKD diets? All inputs and suggestions are welcome. Also if you see any parts of my physique that are uneven or that I should work on, please let me know.

Thanks

Badass! What would you all say my BF% is now? I used like 11% or 12% in my formula to calculate my BMR

If I'm under 11%, how do I get to 5%?

Thanks!

I wouldn't sit at 5% if it isn't a show you're cutting for.
 
If you hit your protein target for the day and continue lifting, you will slow down the loss of muscle; not completely, but somewhat.

Now to your diet; if your whey with or without milk? unspecified. Id suggest more fruit, more red meat included at least 3-4 times p/w (iron); depending on how much calcium is in one cup of cottage cheese, id suggest adding in more (hugely important mineral). Would say more but its late :S

Thanks for the reply!
I drink my whey and casein without milk, water only. It takes very little argument for me to eat more red meat! I'll add more in. The cottage cheese only has 8% of daily recommended values, so I'll look into getting some calcium pills or something.

On the fruit issue, keeping fruits around the house is problematic. I have a tendency to get the munchies late at night and I will start ripping into the fruit like there is no tomorrow. I'll have to figure something out - I know I should be eating moderate amounts of fruit.

Thanks again!
