One
2 eggs
1 cup of oatmeal

Two
canned Salmon (200cal 30g protein 7.5g fat)
1 yam

Three (PWO)
2 scoops of protein (1 scoop = 22g of protein)
1 cup of oatmeal
2 cups of skim milk

Four
4oz plain chicken

Five
4oz plain chicken

Totals (so far)
cal=1738
protein=182g
carbs=172g
fat=27.5g

I probably need more in meals four and five. Any suggestions?

In addition: I will be taking 3-5 fish oil capsules, 1 multivitamin, and 2 calcium supplements daily.

Throw some fibrous green veggies into four and five, spinach or broccoli... maybe a few egg more whites with the am eggs.

I'd scrap the 2 whole eggs for breakfast and eat 6-8 whites. An egg white is 17 calories so if you eat 6 its around 100 calories. Compared to one whole egg which is 60 calories. So straight egg whites are excellent.

4oz plain chicken

Carbs?surely it's early enough in the day for you to burn them off and also it's after your workout replenish the stores dude!

I'm thinking 2 scoops of protein for your weight is abit much and you could cut back on the milk too. I'm not really sure how much but I do remember Emma-Leigh & Jodi replying like this in other threads.

I agree. Brown rice would also be good in in meal four with protein and veggie. I personally would keep to just a veggie and protein with meal 5, I try not to eat dry carbs with my last meal, but im trying to lose fat quickly. Try throwing a non fat fruited yogurt in that post w/o shake.

wow i'm a chica 10%BF 118pds and eat way more than that. You need more protein-especially in the am meal, your body has been deprived all night! If you add some more protein and eat 6 times a day every 3 hours, it would be amazing! Also when I am in contest prep (like I am now 1 week out) I drop protein shakes for whole food about 6 weeks out. It really depends on your bodytype. I tend to hold fat and water, so whole food takes alot more energy for your body to metabolize than shakes and no fillers added.

With egg whites I always feel bad about wasting the yolks, but I can probably add in one or two to the first meal.

What are some good green vegetables to have? I am kind of picky, anything I can do to make eating veggies more pleasant?

I'll definitely add some carbs into the last two meals.

Yeah I probably should be eating a little more, where specifically should I make these increases?

Anyone else have any comments?

There is nothing wrong with having the 2 yolks, but I would add in about 3-4 whites to go with that.

Also, veggies, veggies and more veggies. Don't forget your EFA's too. Fish oil, ground flax seeds, avocados, olive oil...........
