    Question Nutrition plan for progressive gains

    HI.
    My turn now to work on my nutrition plan.
    At the moment I am at 189 pounds and I would like to reach 175 pounds. I would also like to make progressive gains in muscle mass without too much fat. I made up a nutrition plan that I am going to begin next week. Just thought that I would run it past everyone here before I start it. I would like some oppinions as to where it can be improved. Thanks

    1 whole egg+5 whites
    1 cup oatmeal
    1 apple

    Meal 2
    1 serve protein
    2 cups strawberries (frozen)

    Meal 3
    8 oz chicken breast
    2 cups brown wild rice
    2 cup brocolli
    2 oranges


    meal 4
    (same as meal 2)

    meal 5
    6 oz tuna
    2 cup brocolli
    2 oranges


    meal 6
    4 oz chicken breast
    1 apple


    totals

    cal- 3033
    fat- 30
    carb-464
    protein-261


    supplements

    Multivitamin at meal 1
    flax oil - 2 capsules per day (1000mg each)


    Also about 3 ltrs of water per day.


    training 4 days per week.

    Hi letmeloose

    Well your calories are really high if you want to cut. You should be shooting for more like 2300 calories. What are you shooting for 40/40/20 ? Try to keep your meals balanced, meaning portion your P/C/F to be equal for each meal. Last meal of the day skip the carbs.

    Looking at your meals though I don't see that many calories you have. Where did you get your totals?

    Few suggestions:
    Meal 1: skip the apple and add a few more egg whites

    Meal 2: How much protein is in your powder per serving?

    Meal 3: Skip the oranges

    Meal 4: How much protein again?

    Meal 5: Looks good

    Meal 6: More chicken, add a bit of fat to help slow digestion and skip the apple

    It looks like your going for a 40/40/20 P/C/F.

    If thats the case, I would start with 2300 cals and maybe macros like this:

    Totals for Day
    Cals: 2291
    Protein: 230
    Carbs: 230
    Fat: 50

    Meal 1 - 4
    Protein: 46
    Carb: 57
    Fat: 10

    Meal 5:
    Protein: 46
    Carb: 5
    Fat: 10

    I think its best that your last meal of the day have very little carbs in it, especially while cutting.

    Meal 1 - reduce this to 1/2 cup of oatmeal and add another 3 egg whites
    Meal 2 & 4 - reduce to 1 cup berries and increase to 1.5 scoops protein
    Meal 3 - I would reduce this to 1 cup rice with 1 orange
    Meal 5 - reduce to 1 orange or 1 apple or 1 cup berries
    Meal 6 - increase to 8 oz chicken/beef and lose the apple...instead of the apple add green vegies

    Now...2 caps of flax oil is only 2 grams of fat...if using capsules you'll need 14 to make 1 Tbsp

    Water...3L is fine but make it your goal to get a solid 4L daily minimum...this will take some time...your ultimate goal should be 5-6L daily
    Searching for the right balance...
