Current 'cutting' diet

[NewbieChris]

Below is my current diet, I wouldn't call it a cutting diet as much as a whip-a-fatty into shape diet...

1) 1 whole egg, 3 egg white, 1 fruit 1/4 cup oats mixed with water, caffein
2) protein shake (1.5 scoop), banana
3) 4 oz chicken 2 piece of wheat bread

4) protein shake (1 scoop), caffeine
5) protein shake (2 scoops)
6) 6 oz of protein (Steak (once a week), salmon, or chicken), unlimited veggies (broccoli, lentals, spinach, kidney beans)

7) Casean Protein (1 scoop)


Unlimited veggies thoughout day

Other veggies and carbohydrates that I switch to substitue for the bread:
Safe carbs at any of first five meals (moderation key)
Sweet Potato
Yams
Gritz
Oatmeal
Brown Rice in small portions
Pears
Bananas
Apples
Berries

well i dont like it.

4 of 7 meals is protein shakes, meal 4 and 5 being consecutive shakes.

i would estimate it to be no more then 1800 cals a day.

hardly any fat at all and not many carbs either. your body uses fat or carbs as energy, not protein. you are getting far more protein cals then anything else. those protein cals are more likely being stored then converted and used for energy.

i see a diet that is slowing your metabolism down because of the low cals, and not supplying it with the nutrients it needs..

[NewbieChris]

What did I tell you? Okay, I have to admit I think the diet is skimp in some places. The plethera of shakes is one. I am afraid however to eat too many carbs as I was eating more carbs and not losing weight. I am considering making meal 2 more carb ie rice/oats, intensive and making it an actual meat. I don't like the ore-workout shake, but I also didn't like 'real' food there either as it would begin to digest right during my workout. I would love to hear your thoughts there. Also the caesean shake can go away if you give me a real protein there that will release slowly.

1) 1 whole egg, 3 egg white, 1 fruit 1/4 cup oats mixed with water, caffein
more protein here, add in a scoop of whey.


2) protein shake (1.5 scoop), banana
change this to something like whole wheat pasta and groud turkey with a bit of pasta sauce for flavor.


3) 4 oz chicken 2 piece of wheat bread
make it 6 ounces


4) protein shake (1 scoop), caffeine
add in a banana


5) protein shake (2 scoops)
most important time to have carbs, add 50 grams of malto


6) 6 oz of protein (Steak (once a week), salmon, or chicken), unlimited veggies (broccoli, lentals, spinach, kidney beans)
always have fatty fish or steak, never chicken with this meal.

7) Casean Protein (1 scoop)

changes in red. you could also totally change your diet up and cut our carbs. you would need to add in much more fats. it would basically be the palumbo diet.

Well, I'll run this by my trainer and see what he says and judge how much weight I put on it by his reaction to suggestions, etc. He is very big on getting me off fatty food.

First, :rofl: at the begining part.

Second, and please don't take offense to this. The only reason I would not instantly implement your recommendations is because he works with me and sees me twice a day. I feel like a diet that you might think would work might be too much for my shit genetics. :dunno: I don't know if what I said there makes sense or if I am getting what I am think across. I just don't want to start going backwards.

i understand what you are saying. just do what you think is best but keep what i am telling you in mind and try to make the best choices to get to your goal.

Other veggies and carbohydrates that I switch to substitue for the bread:
Safe carbs at any of first five meals (moderation key)
Sweet Potato
Yams
Gritz
Oatmeal
Brown Rice in small portions
Pears
Bananas
Apples
Berries

If you want to cut, then cut out carbs after 4pm. Secondly, your list of "safe" carbs is hardly that. The only things that should be on your list are: Sweet potato, grits, oats, brown rice, apples, and maybe a banana here and there. Third, although I'm sure your trainer says fill up as much as you want on veggies, you have to put some limitations on it regardless. At non carb meals, 2 cups is ok- MAX. At carb meals, 1 cup MAX. That being said, I agree with most of Bouncer's additions, with a couple tweaks of my own.

1- add 1 scoop of whey as B said, or 3oz turkey or chicken & 1/2 oats, not 1/4
2- add another 1/2 scoop and 20 almonds
3- Bump chicken up to 6oz, & ditch the bread. Pasta & bread both have gluten in them which stay in your system too long, and slow the digestion process, add 1 cup veggies.
4- 2 scoops protein, 20 almonds
5- 6oz tuna or chicken w/ small salad, 1 tbsp Bals vinegar & 1tbsp olive oil
6- 6oz of lean protein with 2 cups of GREEN veggies
