Thread: my diet

okay so i spent the morning looking at my diet and changing a few things. I am currently 5 foot 5 and weight 168 pounds around 12 stone. My goal is to build muscle and hopefully compete someday. I am eating 6 meals a day however meal 5 changes on a day to day basis but mostly it consists of potato or pasta, vegetables and meat or chicken or fish. i have not counted this meal in the figures but im estimating meal 5 to be around 800 calories so my total in the other 5 meals is 2254 so that would bring my calorie intake to 3000. I know it would have been easier for you guys if i had added meal 5 but like i said it changes alot but is mainly a healthy meal.

Ok so this is my diet
meal 1-porridge+milk+10almonds+tbl peanut butter+pure protein shake
meal 2-2 oat cakes+cottage cheese+protein shake muscle gainer
meal 3-2 brown toast+2 eggs+2 turkey rashers+protein shake muscle gainer
meal 4-1banana+ pure protein shake
meal 5-THIS MEAL CHANGES DAY TO DAY
meal 6-pure protein shake+greek yogurt with almonds

this works out as...

2254 calories, 208g protein, 235g carbs, 53g fats
(now remember this is no including meal 5)

I done my percentages and it works out at 37% protein, 42% carbs and 21% fats

my workout consists of a split

day 1-back and bis and abs
day 2-cardio
day 3-shoulders and chest
day 4-cardio
day 5-off
day 6-legs and tris and abs
day 7-cardio

ok so i just want to know is this a half decent diet and will i make progress if i follow this?

thanks in advance

pretty sure meal 5 is dinner which is why it is changing for him everyday...I used to be on my own diet like this. 5 meals of the daily 6 are set and dinner is always different. It worked for me...
