so what do you guys think? am i on the right track? is drinking all this milk bad? i seem to be losing weight... thanks for your input.

Certainly look into getting a little more omega 3s in your diet in the form of flax seed or fish oil. Although you eat salmon every day, it would be good to get omega 3s in at least one other meal.

As I told you, look into cutting down on the butter and milk. However, I say give the diet a few weeks. If you are losing at your desired rate, then stick with it until you hit a plateau, if you do hit a plateau. It's certainly leaps and bounds better than the diet you were following before, if you can call that a diet.

Also, I can't tell if you're only getting protein after your workouts, but carbs are just as important. Intake at least as many grams of carbs as protein. Some people do a 2:1 carb to protein ratio. I stick with 1:1.

Feel free to check out my journal; there is a link in my signature. My meal plan is outlined in there. It is very similar to my cutting diet, but with larger portions. I eat about 3700-4100 calories per day currently.

well, i have a protein drink then have a real meal 1-1.5 hours later. works good enuff.

Don't just have a protein drink. You need carbs too. A lot of protein is wasted if you don't have any carbohydrates to shuttle the amino acids to skeletal muscle.
