Thread: Advice Badly Needed !!??

I think you are eating way too little. For lunch maybe try chicken salad and the canned tuna. But otherwise I personally don't see where you could be going wrong the choices are little but they are healthy.

I hope someone helps you out more, sorry i couldn't do more.

no mate dont be sori every bit of advice is very helpful and thank you for replying

Your diet looks good but I think you need more volume. Do you know how many calories you are taking in? You don't want to cut your cals too low because you will lose LBM (lean body mass) along with the fat. At 6' 3" and 210 you are a pretty big guy so I would think you should be eating atleast 2500 calories. That is pure estimation and I am in no way an expert. I highly doubt your bf% is 27%. I looked at your pictures and I would say you no more than 20%. I would take some more time to help you on your diet but I have to go for now. Good luck.

thank you mate .. all this im taking in ... and yeh i am big i dunno if that is my body mass tbh lol it just says it on that site :P
but 20% bf is better i think i can make some new goals at that then

your diet looks good, but low in calories. I would bump it up a tad by adding in healthy fats like:

nuts, avacadoes, olive oil, fish oil, fatty fish, whole eggs, peanut butter.

You may want to squeeze in 1 extra meal to get your calories up a bit.

will do in my breakfast il ad another whole egg andeat saome fish with my lunchtime meal ( not just tuna )

Ok you need to eat TONS more .. will that little food and at your size your gonna lose alot of muscle.
Judging from your pics I'd say your roughly around 15% (give or take), so unless you've put on more since those pics go with that.
Now I'm not sure what your caloric maintenace is .. and I bet your don't either. Now I'm *warning* you hahaha I'm not the best at guestimating that, but maybe try starting out with 3,000?? (with you being 18 and seeming to have a fairly active job .. you may need more.. just monitor your weight the first week or two and adjust from there)
So estimating that your around 15% , that leave you with 178lbs Of LBM , so try starting with these macros.
3000 calories
267G protein (1.5x LBM)
89G of fat (.5x LBM)
283G carbs (1.6x LBM)
If you want you can even reduce carbs a little more and add a bit more protein. It may be beneficial later on in your cut.

Ok now for your meals ..

Ok You need some more EFA's in this meal.
Depending on how much skim milk you are using you also will probably need more protein in here.
I'd also consider maybe adding a bit of fruit (or even take 1/2 the banana from meal 2 and put it here.)? and uping the oats slightly.

Protien Shake With Skim Milk And 1/2 Banana Blended

What are in these 'protein shakes' Is is just skim milk, whey and banana? Or is there anything else??
Regardless I would make this meal a 'whole meal' not a shake.
If it's a shake becuase your 'on the run' or 'out' then try making some homemade protein bars, maybe buy some ezikel sprouted bread and make a sandwhich? Bring along a tub of Cottage cheese with PB or fat free no sugar added yogurt with some whey?
Either way this meal is lacking EFA's , and some carbs .. add them. Also if theres a way I'd add some veggies here as well.

Canned Tuna & Red Apple

The tuna and apple are fine ..
You need some veggies here and Some EFA's once again. (maybe try making a salad with a homemade dressing?? (olive / avacodo olive + / - vinnegar, lemon juice etc, FF, SF yogurt??)

Protien Shake With Skim Milk

Once again whats in this shake exactly? If it's just whey and skim milk you defintly need some more.
If your in the middle of work , is there any possible way that this not be a shake?? If not then it should be fine .. just add some olive oil , maybe switch the skim milk to some FF/SF yogurt, and depending upon how mucha re in your other meals some oats / oatbran might be beneficial.

Meal 5:
Lean Meat Like (Chicken Breast or Beef or Turkey ect..)
& Steamed Veggies (Broccolli, Chopped Carrots ect..)

Workout On workout days would usually come after this as i have to fit this around my shift at work and take my food or shakes in between breaks and dinner times ect... and meal 5 comes straight after i get home from work then i let it settle for about 1- 1 1/2 hours before i jog up to the gym and do my workout.

Ok this is where things get tricky ..
Your DEFINTLY not eating enough Preworkout, and your have no PWO shake or PPWO meal! This is when You should be eating the most and taking advantage of your workout!
Ok so this is what I would do if I were you ..
I'd get home a drink a shake of FF/SF yogurt (or skim milk), some whey, some fruit ( strawberries, banana, blueberries etc ..), and some Rolled oats. I'd wait 30 minutes then jog up to the gym (best would be to wait 40 minutes and get a DRIVE there) , do your workout, then immidently after your workout drink a PWO shake of Skim milk (have the skim milk, dont' switch it for SF/FF yogurt here) , whey, some fruit (banana or blueberries), and some rolled oats. Wait an hour .. and within that hour get home, get ready for the next morning etc. Then have a Meal of Cottage Cheese, some PB, and a carb source (I'll let you in on a little recipe. Some Cottage Cheese, + Some PB + Some chocolate whey powder + SF maple syrup + some Barley flakes (also known as rolled barley) = HEAVEN! You mix it all up in a bowl and it tastes like Peanut brittle!!)
Then hit the Sack!

I'd also add 6 - 10 fish oil caps in there, spreaded out throughout the day (except in your Pre and PWO shakes).

Hope that helped somewhat.

thank you very much mate that has heped loads il make the changes accordingly once again THANK YOU !!:P
