    Critique my diet, Please.

    I go to school, but I am usually able to pull 5-6 meals a day. I basically have 2 different schedules, they are as follows:

    Monday, Wednesday, Friday

    Meal 1 (8:00): Half cup of FiberOne, Skim Milk, half serving of fruit, MultiVitamin
    190 Cals

    Meal 2 (11:15): Grilled chicken salad OR ham/turkey/tuna Sandwich on light wheat OR boca burger on light wheat. Half serving of fruit
    220 Cals

    Meal 3 (2:15): Same as Meal 2
    220 Cals

    Meal 4 (6:00): Grilled chicken breast, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1/2 cup yogurt
    290 Cals

    Meal 5 (9:00): Nat peanut butter sandwich on light wheat toast
    195 Cals

    Meal 6 (12:00): 1 cup of cottage cheese
    200 Cals

    Total = ~1315

    Tuesday and Thursday

    Meal 1 (8:00): 3 oz scrambled eggs, 1 boiled egg white, 2 slices of whole wheat toast
    300 Cals

    Meal 2 (11:15): ham/turkey/tuna Sandwich on light wheat
    170 Cals

    Meal 3 (2:15): Grilled chicken salad, half serving of fruit
    220 Cals

    Meal 4 (6:00): Nat PB sandwich on light wheat + 1 cup cottage cheese OR grilled chicken breast w 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of yogurt
    290 Cals

    Meal 5 (9:00): Nat peanut butter on 1 slice of light wheat toast
    150 Cals

    Meal 6 (12:00): 1 cup of cottage cheese
    200 Cals

    Total = ~1330

    I am 5'8" a solid 130 pounds, (I'm a bit asian so I'm a bit smaller, please take this into consideration). I do cardio every other day for 20-30 minutes, burning 200-300 calories. I do callisthenics every night (pushup and abs). I am not looking to gain, just to maintain my bodyweight and possibly lose some tummy fat. I know the first thing I will be told is I need more calories, but once again, I'm built small. Any advice would be great. Thanks alot.

    You need some protein here. Have some eggs or a shake too

    Meal 2 (11:15): Grilled chicken salad OR ham/turkey/tuna Sandwich on light wheat OR boca burger on light wheat. Half serving of fruit
    220 Cals

    Good, also add some EFA's

    Meal 3 (2:15): Same as Meal 2
    220 Cals

    Same comment

    Meal 4 (6:00): Grilled chicken breast, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 1/2 cup yogurt
    290 Cals

    Add some veggies and EFA's

    Meal 5 (9:00): Nat peanut butter sandwich on light wheat toast
    195 Cals

    Again, you need veggies. Also, this diet is lacking protein. Have a shake with it some other animal protein

    Meal 6 (12:00): 1 cup of cottage cheese
    200 Cals

    This is excellen, however you need to add some fat here. Fish oil would be good
    Total = ~1315

    Tuesday and Thursday

    Meal 1 (8:00): 3 oz scrambled eggs, 1 boiled egg white, 2 slices of whole wheat toast
    300 Cals
    Good
    Meal 2 (11:15): ham/turkey/tuna Sandwich on light wheat
    170 Cals
    Veggies & EFA's
    Meal 3 (2:15): Grilled chicken salad, half serving of fruit
    220 Cals

    Good, you should use some flax or olive oil for dressing

    Meal 4 (6:00): Nat PB sandwich on light wheat + 1 cup cottage cheese OR grilled chicken breast w 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of yogurt
    290 Cals
    Good add some veggies

    Meal 5 (9:00): Nat peanut butter on 1 slice of light wheat toast
    150 Cals

    Like above this meal needs protein

    Meal 6 (12:00): 1 cup of cottage cheese
    Same as above, add some fish oil
    200 Cals

    Total = ~1330

    I am 5'8" a solid 130 pounds, (I'm a bit asian so I'm a bit smaller, please take this into consideration). I do cardio every other day for 20-30 minutes, burning 200-300 calories.

    For EFA's - There are two actual EFA's one is an omega-3 fatty acid and one is an omega-6 fatty acid. In terms of real food sources - you can not go passed fish, nuts (walnuts in particular) and seeds (especially linseeds).

    Fatty fish (salmon, mackrel and sardines in particular) will offer you a great source of omega-3 fatty acids (esp. EPA and DHA), as will walnuts and linseeds. The other nuts and seeds will also offer you some omega-6 fatty acids.

    So adding any of these things into your diet would be good.

    As for the supplements - some good fish oil capsules are the best things you can invest in. 6g a day (6 capsules), spread evenly over your day (2 or 3 taken at 2 or 3 meals) is perfect.

    Bump on what Emma said. Although, I've never seen linseed here, so look for flaxseeds and flaxseed oil. Fish oil is by far the best for n3's and the flax and nuts will supply some n3's but also n6's
