Revision time cutting

Currently running a strict cutting diet to get shredded for summer 2013, all foods and drinks consumed are logged in a food diary (which I will not bore you with). Overlying principle is to keep it simple and stick with what works.

Rules:
- all foods and drinks except water and tea (no sugar, skim milk) must be logged
- no alcohol
- aim for at least 35% calories to come from protein and at least 1g per lb body-weight protein

There are no forbidden foods but regardless I've been eating extremely clean with the majority of calories coming from:

Protein sources = chicken breasts, egg whites, bacon (fat free, salt free bacon), skimmed milk, beef, protein bars and shakes.
Carbohydrate sources =  oats, brown bread, soda bread
Fats = olive oil
 
Cheat meals/less healthy foods have consisted of salted pretzels, baked crisps, cheese (I love cheese, still ~24% calories from protein and a good source of fats), digestive biscuits (not many, they're 74kcal each and only 1.1g protein), bran flakes and corn flakes (I consider these cereals less healthy due to sugar content). Needless to say there's no more McDonald's!

Daily supplements (other than protein shakes and bars) =
- Multivitaimin (mainly Animal Pak)
- Joint supplements (mainly Animal Flex)
- Greens (basically very finely blended vegetables with mint to overpower the taste)


I started a militant cut on 29th March 2013, maintaining a daily calorie deficit, eating more on workout days than rest days and eating around my BMR (1950kcal est) most days. My food diary summary for this cut so far is =

29/3/13 - chest and back, 1956.5kcal, 273.1g protein (56% calories from protein)
30/3/13 - back and biceps, 1918.5kcal, 249.5g protein (52% calories from protein) 
31/3/13 - no gym , 1931.5kcal, 279.2g protein (58% calories from protein)
1/4/13 - no gym , 1791.5kcal, 224.4g protein (50% calories from protein)
2/4/13 - shoulders, legs, cardio , 2835kcal, 341.4g protein (48% calories from protein)
3/4/13 - back , 3004.5kcal, 228.6g protein (30% calories from protein)

4/4/13 - no gym, 1765.5kcal, 194.6g protein (44% calories from protein)

5/4/13 - shoulders, legs , 2473.5kcal, 266.8g protein (43% calories from protein)

6/4/13 - chest, biceps , 2491kcal,  272.5g protein (44% calories from protein) 
7/4/13 - no gym , 1960.5kcal, 217.4g protein (44% calories from protein)

8/4/13 - legs , 2905kcal, 293.2g protein (40% calories from protein)

9/4/13 - back , 2352.5kcal, 306.5g protein (52% calories from protein)

10/4/13 - no gym , 1298.5kcal, 146.4g protein (45% calories from protein)

11/4/13 - swimming , 2236.5kcal, 251.2g protein (45% calories from protein)
12/4/13 - chest, biceps , 2684kcal, 302.8g protein (45% calories from protein)   
13/4/13 - no gym , 2578.5kcal, 230g protein (36% calories from protein
14/4/13 - shoulders, abs , 1973kcal, 229.3g protein (47% calories from protein)
15/4/13 - no gym , 1702kcal, 189.3g protein (45% calories from protein) 

Average =  2214.5kcal/day (nearest half kcal), 249.8g protein (nearest 0.1g protein), 45% calories from protein

Body-weight (weighed first thing in morning, starved and dehydrated)
29/3/13 = 170.75lb
16/4/13 = 168.25lb

Upper body measurements have remained consistent while my waist has decreased and I have gained small increases across my lifts. Measurements will be updated on bodyspace.
