    I would need to see your macros to advise.

    Other than that, your pre/postworkout nutrition needs some help.

    You certainly need protein at both of these meals. For preworkout you can add some liquid protein about 15-30 minues before or you can eat your regular, balanced whole food meal within an hour before your workout.

    For post workout, you need some higher GI carbs and some protein. Pre and post workout is the LAST time to skimp on your meals. So center more of your caloric intake around this time when you can most benefit from your nutrition.

    Other than that, food selection looks pretty good.

    i think fats also are kinda low , i say eat a water packed tuna and add fish oil or linseed oil instead or get some peanut butter but first send the ratios and grams of carbs protein and fats

    Well, is that a whole cup of oats measured raw or cooked?

    Cause if it's raw that's a hug dose of carbs for one meal...cut that in half...

    Great job building a clean diet...You did well...

    But remember that the total amount of food energy (calories) you are taking in is ultimately what will make a difference between losing and gaining.

    I tend to agree with assassin...if in a few weeks, you aren't losing, then further reduce your carbs.

    Avocado is great.

    Remember that you need to keep your calories at 10-12 cals per pound of bodyweight.

    Goodluck.

    1 cup of oats = around 100 gram of carbs
