Texas Method - Lift three days a week (currently deloading)
High intensity: sprints or jump training - cardio twice a week (currently deloadin)
Deload for me is random bro exercises in the gym with a 30 min walk for cardio.

Basic philosophy for Dieting, Lifting, & Health.
DIEt
When dieting the only thing that matters is calories in vs calories out (The First Law Of Thermodynamics). If you want to survive the hunger pains basically you have to eat "healthy". Typical health foods being any vegetable or lean meat. For the macro nutrients hitting the minimum amount of protein in order to force your body to use fat as energy instead of your muscle. I personally stick with 1g of protein per lb of body weight but that is probably way over the minimum for most.
Lift
I like Squating, Benching, and Deading for high weight & low reps. By no means is the only appropriate resistance training for somebody else. Resistance training is necessary so please do something gymnastics, plyometrics, lift weights etc...
Health
moderation in life. I believe healthy food is most likely the least processed food for example: vegetable - good, honey bun - bad. lifting helps fight loss of muscle and loss of bone density. Cardio for heart health. Last and probably most important dont smoke.
note
I started a cut a few weeks ago but it was going very slow so Iam going to actually start counting my calories again. Diet should be a lot of chicken, eggs, protein powder, whole milk, monster energy drinks & veggies. Any comments or thoughts would be cool. I think i will update my progress every week with a picture, weight, and waist measurement.

I know you said your loss is slow, but it's healthy just looking at the numbers. Maybe you might want to take measurements both with calipers and girth. That way you can see both width changes and fat layer changes, just as another way to keep your eye on any lean mass losses. Why the Monster energy drinks? Are you training for anything specific?0

I've tried calipers before but I can't seem to get consistent readings
I love monster energy drinks. What's not to like caffeine, proprietary energy blend, and pure rage in a can. I am sure it's healthy...
Nah, I wish I was but I am just trying to lean out. I do enjoy strength training but I seem to get hurt pretty consistently ever three months
Thanks for the input0 -

That's a mistake. You should always have a scheduled deload week every 2-3 months.0 -

As others have mentioned if your hurt often you may very well have a form/mobility issue.
