hi - my name is kenny from MA. i am 5'11" 210lbs. I am 21. I am going to keep it as real as i can here. I am getting kinda rolly down in the tummy area. Im not happy with my body. i mean, im not fat or bulky, i used to be 175lbs and toned real nice (when i was 17) but now ive just been lazy about keeping in shape. I plan on going back to gym and maintain a boxing workout to mostly stay in shape - not for the fighting. I will be waking up early every morning and running. I want to know a good food to eat for breakafast. im not to familiar with dieting and foods. I kinda just eat whatever. i think its starting to catch up on me. I do not drink, do not smoke, no drugs (although, i wouldnt mind hitting the juice for a month or 2 and maintain it. Im looking for a bulky cut look. I am looking for muscle mass but also at the same time looking to be toned. I know it doesnt happen overnight but what are foods to stay away from and foods i should eat reg. I will be posting a topic in another area on here about workout routine. i just need some advice and someone to talk about things wioth and get feedback. Please fell free to post. i look forward to being a long time member

Ok this is a really hard question to answer in one go.

Plus I suck at cutting because I have never done it before... and have forgotten most of what I knew.

As tuffy said, you need to eat below your maintenance calories (cant remember the calculation sorry) to lose fat. A 50/30/20 protein/carbs/fat ratio should probably do the trick.

In other words, 50% of your calories should come from protein, 30% from complex carbohydrates etc.

Lifting weights as well as cardio is your best bet. If you fully exhaust a muscle group, it takes 5-7 days to fully recover. So a 3 - 4 day/ week training split would be a good idea for you at this stage.
Maybe

mon - back/biceps
tues - off
wed - chest/triceps
thu - off
fri - legs
sat - shoulders
sun - off

Eat 6 + meals a day so achieve your calorie requirements based on the calculation mentioned above.
