This is my first post so please be gentle or not it's all good.

I have just started training and diet mainly for fast weight loss.
my weight is 290lbs and 6ft 3 ins, and i am big boned. Big guy all around.
with about 34% body fat.

I am eating about 2000 calories a day split into small meals starting when i wake at 6.00am anbed at 10.00pm. My meals are all protein, fish, chiken, pork . I have been doing this for a week now and fell great. I am taking methyl ripped from NxCare 2 pills twice a day, Vasopro 2 pills a day and GNC mega sport vitamins. I drink about 2 gallons of water a day.

I am working out Mon, wed,fri,sat right now with hope to do cardio on tue, thur next week.

i have read alot of threads on this site and there is so much to take in all at once, and i know fad diets are bad but it beats the 8000 calories a day i was eating in fast food. The protein diet is just to start me on a better track.

My goal is to get aroun 22o is this reasonable. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for your help. :bbq:

Not a bad split except quads, hamstrings and calves together would kill you. Then you could move triceps to back and shoulder day (rotate who goes first so that every other week someone is getting the brunt of the focus).

Diet
6:00am - Soy shake. methyl ripped from NxCare 2 pills and one Vasopro

Drop the soy and put your eggs here - only make it 1-2 whole eggs and several egg whites (they only take a second to cook - especially if you separate the whites the night before etc). One cup of oats would do you a lot of good before your workout (just try to get up 15-30 minutes earlier so the carbs are not sitting in your gut during you workout - essentially useless and harmful).

6:30am - workout

7:30am - 3 eggs

Make this whey with another cup of oats or dextrose/maltodextrin mix (about 40-80 carbs depending on how you respond.

10:00am - 2 cans tuna

Throw in a "good" carb of some sort (sweet potato, brown rice, oats etc), with a green vegetable. Also, if this is the same size can of tuna I am used to buying that would be too much protein IMO (maybe yours are smaller than mine).

12:30pm - 2 or 3 chiken or pork chops. methyl ripped from NxCare 2 pills and one Vasopro

Good carb and green...

3:00pm - 2 cans of tuna and flax oil

Again, carb and green....

5:30pm - baked fish and boiled egg

Okay......

8:00pm - 3 hard boiled eggs

Maybe one whole egg and several egg whites instead....

Hope this is a little more help to you fog.

Overall, it seems like you are getting a lot of fat from whole eggs and not enough carbs. I know that the craze is to cut carbs but try this instead (cut and pasted from another thread I just responded to)....

I'm not sure of the macro count on this diet but what seems to work best when leaning out (and still maintaining muscle) seems to be a good 40/40/20 split if possible. Get it as close to your daily caloric needs as possible. Once that is tweaked to meet your goals I would tell you to stay on the diet for one month (like a machine - no excuses), cut back your total calories by 10% every two or three weeks until somewhat satisfied with the results. As you cut fats (calorie dense) boost up the protein slightly to ensure most muscle is maintained. After you get your fats down to 15%-10% then slowly pull your carbs back and then start cycling them if need be.

There's a ton of more detail to go into but you should get the main parts from this......
