Currently here I am
Meal 1- 5 egg whites and 1/2 cup oatmeal + fruit = 350 calories
Workout
Meal 2- post workout- 250 calories/ 50 grams protein 5 grams carb some fat
Meal 3- 6 oz chicken , some carb. only adding siracha sauce no cheese etc.
roughly 500 calories a meal
Meal 4- 6 oz chicken - probably 100-150 calories of vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, onions etc. All steamed of course.
Roughly 400 calories.
Is this too little?
I am using Jim stoppani's 6 week cut workout, "again" as it has helped me tremendously. Also do about 2 mile a day of cardio.
Any suggestions you may have? I feel like this is not working, also my cravings are through the roof but I have suppressed them thus far.

That seems a little low. When cals are cut to much for any length of time fat loss halts. You could add another small meal or two. Another thing I'm seeing that is very important is that there is minimal if any fat in your diet. The only place I see it is post workout and I'm assuming that is the fat in the whey protein you are using. You should be consuming about 20% of your cals from healthy fats, this is very important for fat loss as well as general health. Although your meals are about right cal wise the macro's are important.
Do you know how many cals you are currently consuming ?
