Not too bad. How much milk?
I would take out the flax caps. Fish oils are all that is needed.

10am – Mid Morning
1/2 avocado
1 cup of Brown Rice
3oz turkey or chicken or chilli
large salad
2 fish oil caps

Great.

1pm – Pre workout
Whey Protein in water
½ Banana
½ table spoon coconut oil
Multi-vit & Minerals caps

Dump the coconut oil.
Increase your carbs here - add the whole banana and something else too (eg: some more oats).

3pm – Post workout
Whey protein in skim milk
½ Banana
½ cup Healthy oats
Honey Syrup

Drop the honey. Otherwise it is good. I would have the whole banana though.
And how much milk?

6pm - Tea
Lean Meat
Veggies – Carrots and Spinach
Potatoes
2 fish oil caps

I would swap the carrots for a better vegetable (eg: broccoli).
I would also add more healthy fats (eg: some olive oil).
Otherwise it is great.

[quote]8pm – Evening
Light tuna chunk in brine
2 slices whole wheat bread
½ tablespoon coconut oil
Flaxseed oil
½ cup of Broccoli [/auote]
Drop the coconut oil and have a healthier fat (eg: avocado) and swap the flax for two more fishies (total of 6 for the day).
Add more broccoli.

11pm – Before bed
½ cup cottage cheese
½ tablespoon of natural peanut or almond butter

Looks good.

As it is, I think its 10-15% above my maintenance.
Any snacks between will be nuts or rice cakes.

I would stick to 10-15% above maintainence (no snacks). And see how that goes.

Also, I will be cycling Creatine Monohydrate. 2months ON 1month OFF...

Sounds fine. Although you do not need to cycle creatine... And there are much better forms of creatine than monohydrate.

So your thoughts guys/gals? Is it too high in fat/low in carbs or just right?

Looking at it it doesn't look too bad but without exact values for the foods I can't tell.

If you calculate the macros (check www.nutritiondata.com ) and post them then we could get a better idea.
