[pal]

Please critque my diet...
Edit: It's a cutting diet! /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Meal 1: Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal w/ splenda and cinnamon, 2 egg whites, 1 gram of vitamin c, multi-vitamin and a cup of green tea.
Meal 2: Before 3rd: half cup of carrots (occasionally, because of their high GI level), 1 cup chopped up cucumber, 1 serving whey
Meal 3: Lunch: chicken breast, 1/2 cup of brown rice (1 full cup if i'm still hungry),
Meal 4: AfterSchool: 1 can of tuna, approximatly 1 medium celery stick and a tsp. of Natty PB, small salad with chopped up chicken breast (1/3-1/2 cup) with tsp of flax seed oil.
Meal 5: Post-Workout: 2 servings of whey with glutamine with 16 oz water, malto/dextrose.
Meal 6: Supper: I eat with my family so I usually have very little choice in the decision of what the family eats but I'll try to take in only fiberous carbs, meat and veggies.
Meal 7: Before bed: ZMA, 1-gram vitamin c (only if i feel a cold coming on), tsp. flax seed oil, 1/2 cup cottage cheese

About the supper thing if its a problem then I can make it into another planned meal.

I tried to figure out macro's on fitday, I got screwed up a little bit but I think I finally got it.

1813 cals ?
I'm about your age and size (only a little bit skinnier / 154 punds) and everyone recomended i should go for 3000 cals.
The thing is , i can't seem to get there beacause of my time table. On the other hand , you look like you have the time for 7 meals ...so pump it up.
P.S. are you cutting or bulking /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif ?

[bsimpson]

he has to be cutting but that look great i wish i could eat that well

[pal]

Haha !@#$%^&*, oops forgot to mention, yes I am cutting... If I were bulking i'd be taking in more than 3000... No way in hell i'd try to take in 1800 some while bulking... thanks for the posts though!

Looking pretty good!

My only suggestions are:

-Try to get a little more protein in at breakfast (Whey would be the best choice as is is absorbed quickly, and your body NEEDS protein after an 8+ hour fast.)

-Get some carbs in before your workout! Slow burning, like oats, brown rice, sweet potato. You'll have more energy for the workout!

And... your Post Workout Shake is by the book isn't it?

Good job on keeping strict! /forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Looks like a decent diet. Good luck with the cut.

Thanks, Yea Crazy I was thinking about the protien early morning and I think i'll have a shake there to, and maybe something like 1/2 cup of oats pre/afterschool. I have already on the diet posted but I don't think that one day of having a little bit improper diet is going to kill anything, seeing how I was living offa junk food previously.

Are you sure you added them right? The calls seem kinda low, are you measuring the oatmeal/rice cooked or dry?

Also, are you taking the ZMA at the same time as all the other foods in the last meal? if so, id reccomend taking it about 30-45 mins before the meal because calcium interferes with the absorption of ZMA.

Nice one. I've tryed similar about 8 months ago to burn some fat.

(after several years of martial arts, I had 3 years pause due to unberable schedules. About 8 months ago I started again. I can imagine I provided lots of laugh for other people in the gym (at start atleast!).)

Some ideas:
- vary breakfast / dinner with jam instead of oatmeal only
- fishes instead of chicken
- rice is simple to make on your own for dinner (in limited amounts), brown one is best i think. But fix me on thisone if i'm wrong.
