A dude on another board gave me a dead simple way or carb cycling which might be easier mate. He is a competitor (ex) and has used this diet to get into contest shape.
Its dead easy.
Protein per day stays constant. Say 1.2/1.5g per lb of bodyweight.
Fats stay constant. Between 60 to 100g a day.
So both protein and fat stay stable no matter if its a low/med/high day or whatever.
Carbs you simple cycle like this. 100/200/300 . Low/med/high repeat. Then have a day where your a bit more lax with a cheat MEAL. (not day)
Thats just an example of 100/200/300. That gives you an average of 200g of carbs a day. Keep doing this until the weight stops coming off. Then drop the carbs to 50/150/250 say. then drop further if needs be.
That way its easy to prepare meals because they are the same everyday, except for the carbs. And its easy to add some rice or pasta or whatever.
These numbers are all examples dude, you would have to adjust to suit your goals. but you get the idea.
Just a suggestion matey.
