Reply With QuoteYou need more good fats such as nuts, fish such as salmon, or fish oil caps/ flax oil.
Before bed lowfat cottage cheese is good with some fish oil caps or a tablespoon of flax oil. Get some fat in every meal except immediately pre/postworkout.
I don't know how the hell you weigh 270 Ibs. with that diet.

Your breakfast probably has more fat than the rest of your meals combined so I wouldn't add it that. Better to take them with one of your meals after that and again sometime later either with dinner or before bed. 6-8 grams a day is a good amount.
I'd still want to get at least 5-6 grams of fat at every meal. It helps with digestion and absorption of vitamins/minerals. I like having a handful of dry roasted peanuts to get the job done. Almonds and other nuts will work as well.

Dude - you hardly have enough carbs or fats for someone your size. 140lbs person consumes more carbs/fats then you are proposing in your diet and you're over 250lbs. Each meal should have carbs (skim milk, sweet potato, brown rice, oats, fruits), good fats (nuts, peanut butter, olive oil, avocado, fish oil) and a lean protein source (chicken breast, turkey, tuna, egg whites, protein powder, etc).

I agree, more healthy fats. Just not in your PWO though. Still, looks like an exceptional diet. Looks a little low in cals thoughs, how many is it?

I'm assuming you're cutting, is that correct? Originally Posted by JordanMang

You really need carbs post workout. So if you're trying to cut down on carbs, move the bagel and the granola bar to post workout.
Personally, I would add some good fats to your protein meals.
Cottage cheese is perfect before bed. Add some peanut butter too, if you can fit it in your macros.
All in all, not bad but make sure you're getting enough calories.
