    should increase protein here.

    9:30am: 2 oranges 1 apple (or plum)
    this is all sugar, need to add protein, carbs & fat

    12:00pm: 1 can of tuna on wheat bread
    veggies would be good here, and some fat

    2:30pm: Turkey on wheat bread

    5:00pm: Met-RX Protein plus extreme Whey ( after workout )

    5:30pm: Chicken breast or small piece of lean steak, 1/2cup white rice or baked potato, lots of veggies ( corn, beans, peppers, ect..) (i replace the chicken/steak with fish once a week)

    8:30pm: Fruit of some kind for a snack
    this meal should be primarily protein & fat, no fruit.

    ** Overall the diet is not too bad except for the lack of protein and the all fruit meals. If you're trying to get lean you may want to change your wheat bread to better (lower on Glycemic Index) carb sources. Have you calculated out your calories? If not you may want to do that.

    workout: 3:45pm (4 sets of each. 12 reps 50% 1 minute rest, 10 reps 60% 1 minute rest, 8 reps 70% no rest 60% to exhaustion.)

    What is the goal of the work-outs? You definitely will not be building much size/strength from these.

    OK so i guess i'm just as clueless as i thought i was..
    My calories are around 2000.
    I know that there is good fat and bad fat, what would be a good source for the fat that i should have?
    Same goes for protein, whats a good source for this besides protein drinks or are protein drinks the way to go?
    As for my workout, what i'm looking for is to lose the belly and develop the rest. I would like a very noticeable difference by summer. I know it wont be totally gone, but it would be nice to be able to take my shirt off in public and not feel like a piece of crap.
