not particularly varied is it

its is important to get a decent amount of protien in meal 1 to bring your body out of a catabolic state

whey protien shake does not constitute a meal u still need a small amount of carbs even if you are cutting,

try and pyramid your carbs i.e you should be havin the most carbohydrates in meal one then decrease the amount in each meal with the least in meal 6

-- brussel sprouts TWICE a day u must be nuts!!

balanced protein, carbs, and fat at every meal. (no fat post workout)

have you figured out the macros for what you are eating there? its not enough i can tell you that.

In my opinion this is not only too low in calories it is also very poorly balanced in terms of your macronutrients.

In your meals you want a good balance of protein, low GI carbs and/or healthy fats.

At your weight I would probably aim for a simple split of ~250g of protein, 60g of fats and around 250g carbs. That gives you a starting calorie intake of 2500. Then re-assess as your cutting progresses.

-Hot Oat Bran Cereal (1/2 cup uncooked)

Add protein to this - egg whites, cottage cheese or some protein powder.
You also want to add some healthy fats - an example would be to add 1 tbs of ground flax.

I would also increase the carbs in this meal.... 0.5 cups of oatbran creal is not a lot.

2nd Meal
-whey protein shake (1 scoop)

I keep whey for around workouts - it is rapidly absorbed, has low thermogenic potential and causes a pretty high insulin release. So, unless you are in a HUGE rush, you are better off with real food.

You also want to add some good carbohydrates to this meal - you can't live on whey alone.

So a better example of a meal would be tuna, bamatti rice & steamed vegetables.

3rd Meal
-Jodi's turkey meat loaf (5oz)
-brussel sprouts (1 cup)

What do you end up getting from the meat loaf? How much protein? Do you get any carbs? If not - you want to add carbs to this meal.

You might also want to add some healthy fats...

4th Meal
-whey protein shake (1 scoop)

Same goes for your meal 2. Unless this is post-workout, in which case whey is good - but you also want carbs post-workout, so add oats/milk, banana etc as well.

5th Meal
-Jodi's turkey meat loaf (5oz)
-brussel sprouts (1 cup)

Same goes for lunch... What are the macroratio's here??

Quote:

6th Meal
-table spoon Natural Peanut butter
-sugar free Popsicle

Natural PB is fine. Better sources of healthy fats are walnuts and linseeds.
I would also have some protein in this meal - cottage cheese is your best bet (slow digesting for the night) but you could also do something like eggs + egg whites, salmon etc).
