Hi. For the last few months I have been trying to eat healthy and lose some fat because I want a six pack and all that good stuff. Well I have failed at this eating healthy thing, but I think if I had a strict diet laid out with exactly what to eat and when, I could follow it.
18 yrs old, 5'10", 140-145 lbs.

Meal 1: 8:00

Whey with Peanut Butter and Oatmeal

Meal 2: 10:00

Hard-boiled egg
Banana

Meal 3: ~1:00

Sandwich(3 slices turkey, 1 square yellow cheeze, 1 slice of wheat bread folded in half)
Cottage Cheese

Meal 4: ~4:00

Chicken Salad
Carrots
Broccoli
Cottage Cheese

Meal 5: 6:00

Apple
Whey with oatmeal

Meal 6: 8:30

Plain Corn Flakes w/1% milk
Cottage Cheese

Is this ok? Also, how much should I have of the cottage cheese, peanut butter(in shake), and oatmeal?
Thanks. =]

Ok... Stupid question but why are you trying to lose weight at 140 pounds and 5'10?

Now, I can't give specifics (as you have not given specifics) but generally:

Meal 1: 8:00
Whey with Peanut Butter and Oatmeal

This is fine.

Meal 2: 10:00
Hard-boiled egg
Banana

Add more protein and some fibre (eg: vegetables).

Meal 3: ~1:00
Sandwich(3 slices turkey, 1 square yellow cheeze, 1 slice of wheat bread folded in half)
Cottage Cheese

Add vegetables.
Replace the bread with a better carb source (and 1 slice is pretty crappy too).
Add healthy fats.

Meal 4: ~4:00
Chicken Salad
Carrots
Broccoli
Cottage Cheese

Add healthy fats... What is in the 'chicken salad'?

Meal 5: 6:00
Apple
Whey with oatmeal

This is fine.

Meal 6: 8:30
Plain Corn Flakes w/1% milk
Cottage Cheese

Drop the cornflakes... Replace with some healthy fats and some vegetables.

Also, how much should I have of the cottage cheese, peanut butter(in shake), and oatmeal?

How much you should have depends on the rest of your diet....


Your diet needs LOTS of work... Not enough healthy fats, not enough vegetables, I would add some fruit in.... And your carb sources are pretty poor too.

First - read the sticky HERE --> http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/showthread.php?t=21113

Then make up a diet based on that and then go to www.nutritiondata.com or www.nutridiary.com and enter the days 'eating' to get a breakdown of the calories, carbs, protein and fats... then come back and post both of those....

Then we can probably help you a little more!

 

[lil2fiddyguy]

Add more protein and some fibre (eg: vegetables).

Meal 2 again : Hardboiled Egg, Banana, Cottage Cheese, and Brocolli

Add vegetables.
Replace the bread with a better carb source (and 1 slice is pretty crappy too).
Add healthy fats.

Meal 3: Turkey, Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Flax Seed Oil

Add healthy fats... What is in the 'chicken salad'?

Meal 4: Chicken Salad(just chicken and iceberg lettuce), Carrots, Broccoli, Cottage Cheese, (For the fats in this meal can I just have a spoon of olive oil?I dont mind that but is there some kind of dressing that is okay, it would work out nicely.


This is fine.

Drop the cornflakes... Replace with some healthy fats and some vegetables.

Meal 6: Peanuts, Cottage Cheese, Carrots

Is this ok? Also I don't really understand those sites.

Thanks for the help :]

I think you need more carbs! Sweet potatoes, Red skin potatoes, Whole wheat pasta, Squash.... I personally think whole wheat bread is fine, but it shouldn't be the only carb source. You'd also probably be better off eating one of these carb sources rather than the fruit in your diet. The best time for fruit would be in the morning or right after a workout.

But yeah... 140 pounds at 5'10"? Maybe the reason you don't have a six-pack is you don't have any muscle underneath your skin? 140 pounds is pretty skinny already.....
