Thread: My first shot at a diet.

I downloaded the bffm book and it looks pretty simple...
From what i figured out, i need 2331 cals 175gr pro 320 carbs and 39 fat. That is 30% PRO 55% carbs and 15%fat.
Up to now, i'd be lucky if i had 2 meals a day plus a couple of protein shakes. Having 5-6 meals sounds hard to do, but i can fill in the gaps with mrps and protein shakes mixed with juice.

Breakfast is:
60gr oatmeal
1/2 liter 0%fat milk

The only oatmeal we have around here is quaker.

meal 2 will be 500ml juice with 2 scoops whey.

meal 3 will be an mrp bar
250 ml 1.5% fat milk and
1 banana or grapefruit.

Adding all this up i need another 1005 cals 69.5gr pro 133.75 gr carbs and 19.4gr fat.


I'll continue this later...

...and i continue

for the other 3 remaining meals i will eat the following
protein
150 gr chicken or
6 egg whites and 1 yoke or
200 gr cottage cheese or
112 gr tuna or 120 gr round beef.

carbs
1 cup brown rice and 1 grapefruit
250 gr potato or
1 apple and 1 banana or
100 gr pasta

In some of the meals i add in a tomato or some other kind of vegedable and a litle bit of olive oil.

What i need help for is the timing of the meals.
I usually wake up at 8 and go to bed at about 1 am with a nap sometime in the afternoon.

Is it better to plan my meals the day before or should i just think of what i want to eat today and just eat it?

My starting weight is 76.2 kg (168 lbs) and my tanita scale says 17% which is the most it ever said since i got it.

Thats about it.
