6 foot 194lbs male, cut diet. This is the current diet I am on please advise (all meals are 3 - 3.5 hours apart except for the first two.)

meal 1 preworkout (7am):
1 scoop whey
2 fish oil caps
1 multivitamin

meal 2 after workout (roughly 9am):
8 egg whites or 2 scoops whey
1/2 raw oats

meal3:
2 scoops whey
granola bar

meal4:
8 oz chicken breast
Hearty Salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions,
2 tablespoons oliveoil vinegrette.

meal5:
5oz fish
1 can of veggies
1 fat free low sugar yogurt

meal6:
bowl of kashi and skim milk
1/2 cup of cottage cheese

Problem:

I have been on this diet all week, all though. I have not been able to go to the bathroom like i normally have. I basically wake up farting like crazy then it calms down when i get to work, but it always feels like i have to take a crap. When i go to the bathroom i just fart some more. once in a while a tiny bit comes out....really sorry to describe it this way or bring it to the forums if i gross you out. i really dont know anyone else to talk to about it. Thanks!!!

Well 2 things that stick out to me are

1.Granola bars arent as good for you as many may think. I would replace that with some fruit

2. Bowl of Kashi late in the day (I assume that is a cereal?) as the day goes on your carbs need to be cut to a minimum.

ok I'll try adding some fruit in place of the granola bar...how about dried fruit? I will cut the kashi (cereal) and possbily move it to mornigns then.

Are you by any chance lactose intolerent? I have issues when it comes to eating/drinking too much dairy. It took me three weeks to adjust to whey protein, two servings a day. Symtpoms were very similar to yours - I could never drink my whey protein while at work for fear of killing everyone with the odor.

moved to diet forum.

nah not lactose intolerent at all. but it just feels like i have to go to the bathroom all day, but nothing. I've been using whey protein for quite some time, but i did increase the amount, i used to only have 1 scoop per day.

Problems that could be contributing:
1. much too much protein
2. not enough fiber
3. not enough healthy fats
4. not enough water

So some suggestions:

I would REALLY, REALLY suggest you have some carbs pre-workout... Especially as you are working out first thing in the morning... Even if you are cutting you should eat a good mix of carbs/protein before a workout.

meal 2 after workout (roughly 9am):
8 egg whites or 2 scoops whey
1/2 raw oats

Too much protein here.... 45g from the whey + 28g from the eggs... And there aer not enough carbs for someone your size. PWO you should be 'loading' your carbs as this is the best time for partitioning.

I would also swap the type of carbs you are eating.

Quote:

meal3:
2 scoops whey
granola bar

Once again - drop the protein down. You don't need 2 scoops whey... Also, add some fiber and some healthy fats to this meal. You could use some oats here.

meal4:
8 oz chicken breast
Hearty Salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions,
2 tablespoons oliveoil vinegrette.

Too much protein... Drop it back.
Increase fiber containing vegetables (things like green beans, broccoli, spinach).
Add some fiber containing carbs eg: fruit (whole - it has more fiber and water), legumes (eg: lentils).
Consider swapping the olive oil to a higher fiber fat source such as avocado.

meal5:
5oz fish
1 can of veggies
1 fat free low sugar yogurt

Take the yoghurt and use it around your workout. (and swap it to natural plain fat-free live yoghurt - the bacteria in the yoghurt should help your intestines).
Increase your vegetables and, once again, use high fiber (and not canned).
Add some healthy fats too.

Quote:

meal6:
bowl of kashi and skim milk
1/2 cup of cottage cheese

Take the milk and have it around your workouts.
Add some healthy fats here too - nuts and linseed/flax are high in fiber.

thanks so much for the help

. What should my total carb, protein, fiber, fat, and calories be? I really would like to keep any muscle that i have, if not gain while i cut. oh and whats wrong with canned? its really hard for me to eat anything that requires cooking...
