lol sorry for my various misunderstandings.

4lbs is definitely an underestimation, majorly in fact. I think if u are in the high teens u want to lose about 10 - 15lbs to drop 7% BF at your weight(can't be bothered to do that actual calculation). 4lbs is nothing, thats like 2 weeks worth of cutting

I don't know that much about cottage cheese but i think that the carbs are all lactose, a lot of people employ a lactose free diet during pre-comp preparation or cutting because having dairy or milk by-products often results in a softer look, not a hard ripped look. i know that triggeriron on here gave up milk and within 2 weeks felt a lot harder.

On the subject of cholesterol - they say that dietary cholesterol does not effect your blood's levels of cholesterol. I haven't read a scientific report to back that up so i can't vouch for it. Basically, don't worry about 3 eggs a day, its hardly a lot , if you were having 18 eggs a day like me but still having all the yolks, it might be a concern.

Aim for about 50 grams of fats for a cut/day, and try for maximum non-saturates in that.

I would just advise you to have a neverending supply of lean meats, perhaps minimise your dairy, stick to good carbs like brown rice, brown bread and oats, not too much simple carbs like fruit juice, sugary drinks.

Also start the day off with a strong coffee to kickstart that metabolic rate for the day.
