Previous to this past week I was at 2000 calories a day. This is where I had hit the 217-219 mark. I figured that I needed to readjust my intake as my BMR probably had lowered. Seeing as it lowered to roughly 1900-2000 I cut it to 1500 calorie intake.
I do know that my fat intake is very low, I am not sure if it is affecting anything. I am not having trouble doing cardio and or really doing anything. Workouts are pretty hard and steady.
What would you suggest in particular?
180 grams of Protein
180 grams of Carbs
40 grams of Fat
that is at a 1800 calorie diet.
sounds like currently I am at about a
170 grams protein
170 grams carbs
20-30 gram fat maybe.

Here is an example of a menu plan. This is a low carb diet based on a 200lb male. This is the type of plan I use when cutting and is very effective. If you follow these guidelines in constructing your meals I think you will do well. Try to keep the macros the same and use the method of carb tapering shown here. Notice the fat content, it is important. Fat's can be tough in that the cals add up fast so using suppliments can be helpful. I personally use Udo's Choice 3,6,9 blend or a good quality fish oil such as Carlson's, this way you can easily control fat intake.
