Sample cutting diet

This is a sample diet that I wrote out for someone today. They are about 110kg at 15-20% body fat and aiming to cut down. The plan is roughly 2,500kcal a day for them and they train 4 days a week body building style. It's moderate volume not low like HIT or Arnold's marathon training.

I am more of a higher fat, lower carbohydrate guy but not high fat or low carbohydrate for sure. He is cutting down so carbohydrate will need to be as high as possible to restore glycogen. He is not eating enough calories to get too many carbohydrates for full glycogen replenishment so there is no need to worry about going overboard. On his rest days though he does not eat carbohydrate. There is no need and glycogen replenishment will be low on these days as will insulin sensitivity. This will help restore his sensitivity to insulin further as well.

His rough calories and macros are as follows:
Training days:
Carbs: 250g
Protein: 250g
Fats: 55g

Non-training days:
Protein: 250g
Fats: 165g
You'll want most of your carbohydrate around the training window as well as this will give the best glycogen replenishment and the most free levels of blood sugar when you're training. Most people train in the afternoon so this results in a carbohydrate free breakfast. I think 3 meals a day should be fine.

Breakfast:

Training & rest days: 6 eggs cooked in 15ml of grapeseed oil

Lunch:

Training days: 475g chicken breast, 150g white rice (raw weight), salad

Rest days: 120g almonds, 415g chicken breast, plenty of salad

Dinner:

Training days: 560g white fish, 625g sweet potato, salad

Rest day: 400g t-bone steak with salad

During training:

A scoop of gatorade and half a scoop of whey

This is not exact with the macros and calories but it is roughly right. I think you should count food rather than macros/calories. This makes things much easier and you're not living behind a spreadsheet or calculator. Logging everything is so infuriating so just make some meal plans and stick to it! If you need to cut calories further then you'd want about a 250kcal drop. So this is as simple as taking the yolks out of 4 of the 6 eggs you eat for breakfast. No theorising or philosophising needed.
