What Deca said.

Also, EVOO plus fish oil plus salad dressing plus handful of almonds plus 3 tbsp PB? Got to add the numbers bu sounds like trouble...


EDIT: just saw your post. Not enough protein and too much fat.

[dna9488]

Too much fat intake?

[Scrumhalf]

Yep.

1.5g of protein/lb of bodyweight. That should be 300g of protein at least for you.

I don't like more than 20% fat. You are running almost 40% fat. Too much IMO.

[dna9488]

ok scrum I'll change Meal 5 to: 7oz chicken and 3oz green beans. And Meal 6 to just the shake and no almonds

If high fat low carbs work for you that is fine.

My body does much better on low fat high protein high carbs

Low carbs I have no energy and my muscles deflate

Looks decent...I work with high carbs and high good fats...

Low carbs I have no energy and my muscles deflate

It only takes me about 4 days of low carbs to start feeling lethargic.

[dna9488]

thanks for the input guys. Making the adjust, taking out fats and eating more meat.

Just be consistant and don't be afraid to change things if the results aren't there. It's easy to get lost in a diet.

will do man, appreciate your help

making adjustments and going another route. Keeping fat levels to trace levels, while playing with protein and carb intake
Basically:

-300g protein over 6 meals (50g/meal)
-250g carbs over first 5 meals (50g/meal) all coming from oats, rice, potatoes
-fats kept at trace levels
-drop carbs 25-50g every week as fat loss/weight loss slows down

Replacing olive oil in my eggs with Pam. Once a week cheat meals are being eliminated as well.
