Sample Cut Starting Point
This is a sample starting point for somebody between 175-190 lbs. If your goal is to get ripped. Starting with something similar to this will be a great gauge to begin seeing results. After 2 weeks of following this you can begin adjusting it to your own specific needs. If you have not lost much fat, you can try lowering the carbohydrates by 20-25% and the fats by 10%. If you feel you are loosing weight too quickly you can try increasing your carbohydrates by 20-25% and readjusting as necessary. This should be coupled with a solid training program and some cardiovascular work. The key to being successful with your cut is to be consistent day after day and to monitor progress based off pictures and your weight.
If you are between 160-175 lbs. and want to get leaner you can follow this plan by cutting every meal down by about 15-20%. If you are between 190-205 lbs. and want to get leaner try increasing your meals by 15-20%. Keep in mind these are just suggestions and everybody's metabolism is different. Some people respond better from lower carbohydrates and higher fats and some respond better from lower fats and higher carbohydrates. This is just a good starting point to be able to follow and adjust as necessary week by week.
On off training days I am going to suggest decreasing some of the carbohydrates you are having that you would normally burn in the gym. I am also going to point out that although I have not written vegetables in there, they are EXTREMELY important to maximize your health and results and I recommend vegetables be added to a minimum of 3 meals a day. I personally do not count the carbohydrate content of these.
