cutting diet

Hi guys,
 
I've decided to go on a cut and would like some thoughts on my diet.
I was going to run the dp keto diet but it would be to difficult to incorperate with my job, so I'm going to try the good old fashion way, plenty of cardio and less carbs.
 
I'm 6,1ft, 85Kgs, approx 15% fat
 
06.30 2 scoops whey in water, fish oil caps, coffee
08.30 50g oats with skimmed milk, 3 eggs, tea
10.30 chicken breast (130g approx) 40g brown basmatti/ wholewheat pasta, salad, olive oil
12.00 can of tuna (130g) 40g brown basmatti/ wholewheat pasta, salad, oilive oil 1 apple
14.30 2 scoops whey in water
15.15 handfull of cashews, 1 bananna
16.00 train
17.00 pwo shake, 2 scoops of whey, 5g creatine
18.00 high protein, moderate carb, low fat meal (depends on what my partner has cooked.. fussy eater!)
20.00 1 tbsp peanut butter
22.00 150g cottage cheese.
 
I do a push, pull, legs routine with 20 mins high intensity cardio at the end and one day a week I do sscv for 45-60 mins.
 
How does the diet look?

I'm unsure of my macro requirements tbh mate. I was just keeping protein high and cutting down on the usual amount of carbs. Do you know how to work out maintenance cals?

what are your stats age height,weight,job,often you train
 
will workout your bmr for you
 
diet looks ok few things i would cut out but other wise looks pretty good just watch suger

Ta mate

I'm 26, 6,1ft, 85kgs, approx 15% bf. I train 3-4 times a week. I climb pylons for my work, pretty physical work. Not so much in the winter tbh.

ok i got roughly your bmr for training days and non
 
non training day is 1972.7
for training days 2959.05
 
thery may be more or less its only rough but this should give you a good idea
 

Thanks mate! Obviously I need to be hitting under that by around 500 kals I'm guessing?

I'll weigh out my food and work out the macros tonight.

You would know what the protein/carbs/fat ratio for cutting by any chance?

yeah make sure its under by 500 cals
 
im not to sure but it all depends on what you want personally i prefer high protien,fat, medium carbs and only from veg
also i have a refeed day(cheat day were i eat more carbs in any forms)
 
 i tend to do
protein-50%
fat 30%
carbs20%

Nice one mate, thanks for that. I've never cut before so I just want to get it right rather than waste my time.
I'm 2 days in so far and finding it tough!

Arghhh... I'm so bad with figures!! I'm having a mare working them out

Where are you struggling?

Just with the basic Maths mate, I'm awful at it. Just struggle to work out how many grams of protein/ carbs/ fat I need
