Thread: Review my diet

Thats nots really a meal plan its just a bunch of foods compiled in a list. Try to seperate them into meals and list the macro's for each.

I can tell you though if one list is all the foods you will be eating thats def not enough cals for someone of your size. You need more cals then that then gradually drop them as progress comes to a hault.

Ditch the instant oatmeal...go with slow cooking old fashioned oats.

Get rid of the milks...dairy is not your friend during a cut...to many added sugars/carbs. If you need milk do it with skim not 2%. I use to think the same thing with my shakes but I started with water and now I hate milk in my shakes...love em with water. You should just try to choke em down for a few weeks and you will learn to love the stuff.

You want lean cuts of meat and forms of protein...stay away from solid fats such as those found in fatty red meats.

Get rid of the bannans...the sugar content is way to high for a cut....great for bulks not for cuts.

Overall the calories are low and that needs to be fixed but the food choiced are pretty poor. You'll find if you stick to much cleaner options of food you can eat more and lose more weight.

Add some quality protein, efa's, and complex carbs to your diet.

HIIT cardio on most of those days


I've put together this mean plan with 3 days of different options.
Ive attached them as jpg files since I did them on FitDay.com. Is this a suitable diet, some have said the carbs may be to high, but I am unsure, I have had results with reducing carb intake in the past but I am unsure its a healthy effective option. All I would have to do for that is replace the milk with skim or water (for Shakes) but Id rather not, because 100% Whey powder tastes like rotten hell with anything but milk. Any input would be appreciated....

Everything you said made sence except this part....

Whey, lean red meat, tuna, and white meat broiled chicken are about as quality protien I can think of. Are you saying these are bad choices or just add some more of them to bump the cals up. I can add some other stuff to kick up the cals but reducing what the calculators say I need by 2 calories a month seems to long and drawn out( i know thats no truly how it is, but thats how it feels). Im not sure what cleaner means,( yes I have read the sticky ) ... What are good sources for EFA, complex carbs besides veggies and meats?

here is what you wanted and the macros are listed in the image files.

Option 1
1. oatmeal, w/protein shake (16oz)
2. Tomato Sandwich
3. Protein Shake (8oz)
4. Tuna Salad w/celery
5. Protein Shake (8oz)

Option 2
1. oatmeal, w/protein shake (16oz)
2. PB on banana
3. Protein Shake (8oz)
4. stirfry chicken w/ veggies
5. Protein Shake (8oz)

1. oatmeal, w/protein shake (16oz)
2. PB on banana
3. Protein Shake (8oz)
4. Stirfry Lean Beef and Veggies
5. Protein Shake

I'm always on the go, so I did this so I can get on a routine and be able to interchange a few things, but overall I don't mind the monotany of diet that will get results.
