Nutrition Criticisms, cut cycle

[TheAngryHog]

I'll try to keep this short. I'm looking for criticism/suggestions on crafting a cut diet while on my first cycle ever, which will be 12 weeks Test E 500.

I'm 5'11, 220 lbs, ~18% body fat. Hard to tell exactly on the fat level because I bloat easy. I kept track of macros the best I could the last two weeks, some of the numbers were absolutely horrific and I also noticed how INCONSISTENT my diet was. I am thinking a maintenance caloric intake is approximately 3200-3300 calories. My objective was to get a diet about 500 cal less. My employment causes me to not be able to spend much time on meal prep. Money for food is not an issue, but time/ease is.

Here was today's diet meal by meal with total macro count at the end.

Meal 1 (breakfast) Protein shake in skim milk........352 Cal
2g fat
22g carbs (20g sugar)
61.5g protein

Meal 2 (lunch) Two tuna sandwiches on white bread, mayo......935 Cal
47g fat
68g carbs (4g sugar)
60g protein

Meal 3 (consumed at approx 4:30, about an hour and a half before training)....352 Cal
Same as meal 1!

Meal 4 (dinner/post workout) 12 oz lean steak and 1/2 cup white rice......1074 Cal
50g fat
70g carbs
86g protein

Total macros for the day: 2,713 Cal
101g fat......33.51%
182g carbs (44g sugar)....26.83%
269g protein....39.66%

Thoughts? This is about the best I could do. Numbers will vary slightly as I expect to change up dinner more than anything else with the first three meals relatively stable.

I highly recommend you get your eating (aka diet) dial down for at least 6 months before starting AAS. If you can't even control and watch what you eat- you're going to have minimal results from this cycle. But I can recommend that you cut out sugar (less than 10g per day) and half the carbs on non-lifting days.

There's alot wrong here

Meal 1 (breakfast) Protein shake in skim milk........352 Cal
2g fat
22g carbs (20g sugar)
61.5g protein
I'm gonna guess you're doing two scoops of whey? Stop. And stop the milk. Make some egg whites and oats

Meal 2 (lunch) Two tuna sandwiches on white bread, mayo......935 Cal
47g fat
68g carbs (4g sugar)
60g protein
Really? White bread and mayo. Yup, you'll get shredded


Meal 3 (consumed at approx 4:30, about an hour and a half before training)....352 Cal
Same as meal 1!
Fix this

Meal 4 (dinner/post workout) 12 oz lean steak and 1/2 cup white rice......1074 Cal
50g fat
70g carbs
86g protein
12oz is ridiculous. Do two meals with 6oz

Really man change your entire menu. Build your diet with
Chicken
Beef
Steak
Egg whites
Oats
Rice
Sweet potatoes
Olive oil
Veggies
