Meal#4-(Pre-workout) about 20 almonds and Creatine powder shake
Meal#5- (Post workouot) Creatine powder shake then 20 mins later 2 scoops of whey protien mixed with water.
meal#6- Salad,Usually 2 peices of chicken and steamed veggies and maybe alittle rice.

As for training I work out for about 45 mins with weights then ride the bike for 20 mins. Then after dinner I ride my bike around the block for about 20 mins. I have seen some great gains in muscle mass but not much in fat loss on the scale. I know the scale doesnt mean $hit. I know im losing fat though cause I look alot tighter. any suggestions on the diet

Well...That is a pretty "lo cal" diet you have going on

should I be taking in more cals then?? Usually Ill have a jay Cutler recipe raisin and oatmeal no fat cooky after dinner..

Add some carbs to your meal two. maybe grits or something along those lines. Same with meal three. I suggest having carbs up until your meal three. and then a carb for your pre workout.

What do you recommend as for a good carb for my 2nd and 3rd meal?? Thanks

what are your goals?
how long have you been on this diet?
what is your bodyweight?
approximate bf%?
meals 1-5 no fruit or veggies?

I think you need a diet re-vamp. Start by learning a bit and reading the stickies titled Guide to......at the top of D&N forum.

1)Ive been on the diet for alittle over a month,I dropped about 10 pounds at the beginning but now pretty much staying the same but putting alot of mass on though.
2) Im 6'2 245, Not to much fat anywhere besides alittle gut im trying to get rid of. I know 245 sounds high but I have a huge upper body traps/arms/shoulder/back and some decent legs. Like I said just alittle belly fat but not to much.
3) I dont know my approx bf%.
4)Ya I think ill throw in some fruits in my 1-5 meals.

I am about to order a recumbent exercise bike for my house so I can do cardio first thing in the morning. I have heard its the best time to do cardio. I will remain to still do cardio after my workouts as well in he afternoon.

let me get this straight
you weigh 245 pounds, from what you say a pretty low bf%, you do cardio twice a day?? and you eat as much as a 15 year old girl should
your diet has more holes then swiss cheese

what was your diet like before? 6'2 245 with a "huge" upperbody @ age 23 suggests you have trained for quite some time and with a diet thats at least half good (some are gifted).
more information is needed for anyone to help you out.

try and eat the majority of your carbs in the morning, before and after workouts you need some whey protein, and simple carbs. if you dont eat enough you are going to lose fat as fast as you would if you were eating pizza all day. your a big guy so you need lots of food, calculate your bmr using one of the millions of calculators on the web so you can get a rough idea. personally i like to have two low carb days (>50 g) once every two or three weeks to rid the glycogen deposits.
