take a look at my diet please

[psyko1]

i know there's room for improvement so i need your help. it's very simple and it really doesn't vary from day to day except maybe on sunday. this was what i ate yesterday.

meal 1 (pre workout)
cup of oatmeal 54gms protein
protein shake w/10 oz milk 66 gms carbs

meal 2 (post workout)
protein shake 11gms carbs 44gms protein

meal 3
tuna sandwich w/cheese 50gms protein
small bag of peanuts 28gms carbs

meal 4
beef stew w/3 chicken tenders 65gms protein 35gms carbs

meal 5
protein shake 11gms carbs 44gms protein

meal 6
3 chicken tender sandwich w/cheese 49gms protein 18 carbs

meal 7
1 tuna pouch 34gms protein
small bag of peanuts 10 gms carbs

meal 8 (30 minutes before bed)
protein shake w/10 oz milk 40gms protein
1 spoon of peanut butter 32gms carbs

totals 380gms protein
211 gms carbs

obviously it's only broken into carbs and protein not calories. and the bread is low carb only 8gms per slice. and i'm "trying" to cut although with my work schedule i haven't found the time to add in cardio yet :mad: but dammit i'm gonna make time! BTW i usually do eat a meal with my shake post workout but i didn't have time yesterday.

Yeah, my biggest comment immediately was on the post-workout meal. Definitely need some high GI carbs in there for restoring glcyogen to the muscles quickly. You definitely don't want to lose your hard-earned muscle cause you don't have enough food for your muscles to recover! Just eating some simple carbs that you wouldn't typically eat will do fine. I usually have some honey in my oatmeal or on a piece of bread.

Also, your calories from carbs and protein is at almost 2400 calories. Throw in the fat from whatever (beef, peanuts, etc) and you're probably at about 3000calories. That sounds a little high to me if you really want to cut. I'd maybe cut back on some of the protein. I suspect your body can't absorb that much protein from all of the meals anyway.

Dude,you`l never get lean eating beef stew,bread,cheese,or milk.

Meal # 1:
10 egg whites scrambled in Pam cooking spray
1/2 cup of oatmeal (no milk)
water

Meal # 2:
1 can of water packed tuna (plain,no mayo)
salad (fat-free,low-sugar dressing)
1 med. baked potato (plain)
water

Meal # 3:
8oz. skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup of veggies
water

Meal # 4:
6oz. lean steak (cut off all visible fat)
1 med. baked potato
salad (same as above)
water

Meal # 5:
1 can tuna
salad

Meal # 6:
8oz. skinless chicken breast
water

Throw in a protein drink pre,and post workout mixed in water, and your good to go .

Train the whole body over a 5 day period,and do HIIT cardio at least 4 times a week.

You`ll have to eat much better to make progress.

Good luck!!

you're right i dropped the milk and cheese too much sugar/carbs. and the beef stew is only for convenience, i don't eat it everyday.:agree:
