    Meal 1- 4 egg whites
    1 slice of fat free cheese
    1/2 cup of oatmeal
    Meal 2- 1 serving ON Whey protein with 1 cup milk
    Meal 3- 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup oatmeal
    Meal 4- ON whey protein with 8 oz of water
    Meal 5- 2 cups cheerios with fat free milk
    Meal 6 -6oz tuna with 1tblspoon natural pB
    Meal 7- fat free cottage cheese with 1 tblspoon natural PB
    Totals- Protein- 200 fat-38 carbs-164 Calories 1801.
    I am 6'0 weighing about 165 and 25 years of age. I also wanted to add that before i started this i was only eating 1000 to 1400 cals a day.

    Usually I have chicken with meal 5 instead of the cereal. I wanted to know what everybody thinks of this and maybe you can make some changes if needed.

    well if you have gone from eating 1000-1400cals to this, then its improvment. Although I would still suggest slightly raising calories a bit more, to the 1900-2000 at least. you could bump the protein up a little bit too.

    -meal 1 needs a few more egg whites. 4egg whites is only 14g protein.
    -the milk would be fine at this point if you are still loosing weight..although Id suggest cutting back to half a cup and then adding in some healthy fats to meal 2.
    -1 serving of ON- thats only what 23g protein? not enough.
    -meal 3 needs more protein. how about a cup of cottage cheese?
    -meal 4 needs some healthy fats to go with that shake or a small peice of fruit.
    -ditch the cheerios. get in some complex carbs, more oats, sweet potatoes, brown/wild/bastami rice, all bran/fiber 1.. etc. is that post workout? you need some better protein! eat that peice of chicken as you mentioned.
    -meal 6 needs some vegetables(you dont have ANY). how about just having the peanut butter in your last meal too. perhaps add some olive/flax or hemp oil. or even fish oil caps here.

    Look at your cardio.. Losing fat is more then just diet. Its cardio, exercise and diet. As previously stated your calories should be around 1900-2000.

    .... are you stressed often? (asking, as high cortisol levels produced by stress can lead to bodyfat storage in the lower abdomen area.) just a thought.

    hey your my size, i'm still trying to gain weight upping cals to about 4,000 come w/o days. I find that i lose weight far better if i up my exercise capacity then playing around with my diet a whole lot. In college i could drop about 5-6 lbs in a week by playing basketball nearly everyday, albeit some of it was water weight i could always tell that i got much tighter
