I do need to start eating eggs, I haven't even had them in my diet really and that is a no no for sure. I am going to try doing a shake, not protein but just a regular shake, before my work out now with a granola bar. See if that can't keep me afloat, I also picked up a new multi vitamin to see if maybe a change will help things progress a bit better.
Water thing is so true as well, I am going to make an effort to drink about 3-4 big glasses of water every night now between supper and bed time, to make sure I am properly hydrated for the next day.

Are you still initiating compound movements for some excercises? When you say you primarily do heavy with biceps, which ones are you talking bout(barbell curls, concentration curls, rope, etc?)
If cutting is a big part of your regime and would like to still add muscle, you really need to watch your complex carb intake after 5pm. Get most of your complex carbs in the AM and afternoon, so you have the rest of the day to burn them off. You do need more than a bowl of cereal in the morning.
Along with vitamins, BCAAs are always a good thing for you as well, from a supplementation perspective. Its good that you are asking bout diet though, as diet really is 70% of the battle, whether bulking or cutting in any workout program. Doesnt matter how much you train, if your diet is not in line, you wont see the best results you can achieve.
