CUTTING DIET

ive bulked for about 4 months, mid december to begininng of may.
i went from 133-135 to 157-159

my calipers say i went from 118 LBM to 133LBM, but i know a lot is waterweight so im not satisfied at all as i gained so much fat and kept diet extremely clean and didnt cheat often, and strength didnt increase THAT much either...

but yeah i want to go get bigger but i have too much fat on me now i dont like it cant see abs anymore i forgot what they look like loool (calipers say im 13-14% only, but i feel more cuz i went from 31" waist to almost 36")

so im gonna cut for the summer, im endomorph and ive nevr seen lower abs before hopefully il achieve it this time

so this is my diet now
NON-WORKOUT DAYS (monday and friday)
meal 1        50 carb     47 protein  11 fat (oatmeal shake peanutbutter whey)
meal 2        45 carb     35 protein  6 fat  tuna sandwich> at skewl so cant eat oats lol
meal 3        40 carb     35 protein  11 fat (oatmeal, 1yolk 5 whites, sometimesveggies,)
meal 4        40 carb     35 protein  11 fat (SHAKE same as meal 1, less portion)
meal 5        35 carb     29 protein  11 fat (dinner,chicken+veggie+i make brown rice or oats)
meal 6        30 carb     29 protein  11 fat (leftovers meal 5 or ill open another tuna lol)

WORKOUT DAYS
meal 1        60 carb     47 protein  11 fat (same as non workout day bigger portion)
meal 2        45 carb     35 protein  11 fat (same as non workout + almonds)
meal 3        53 carb     35 protein  11 fat (same as non workout more oatmeal)
meal 4        40 carb     25 protein  15 fat (PREWORKOUT, oats, .8scoopwhey, pb)
meal 5        12 carb     40 protein  2 fat  (POSTWORKOUT, whey+soy milk)
meal 6        30 carb     28 protein  11 fat (same as MEAL 5 non workout)

sorry for such a long post, please give me some advice tell me what needs changing or anything ;)

31in. waist to a 36?? damn, how do u look as far as leanness is concerned? can u see ur abs at all when flexing?

according to ur calipers u gained 15lb. of muscle and 7lb. of fat which isnt horrible, i think u said ur an endo so 2:1 ratio of muscle to fat isnt bad but its not that great either.

the waist  will come down a few inches right off the bat from water weight.  Mine went from 35 to 32 1/2 in like 2-3 days.

i can see my upper abs when flexing but my stomach looks weird right now because i have a lot of fat on my lower back

if you look at me in a t-shirt you would never guess im fat basically lol, my chest is somewhat defined, anyways ill post pics soon maybe or a couple days.

im not a toned beast like rollingstone

and also im only 16

i measured my waist just now im 35" but only had 1 meal today

damn 35in?

i have thought that ur waist is pretty wide from ur pics so i guess thats it, i'm surprised it drops so much so quickly though, were those measured at the same time of the day?

both midday.  Its amazing how much of a difference carbs make.

I'm suffering from the exact same thing. Same body build almost. 5'8 172lbs. I'm going on a 2000 cal diet this week and see if I can make progress. But yeah, I tell people I'm trying to drop 10lbs and they're like why? BUt it's all in my lower back and sides.
