Alright ive let myself go quite a bit since summer. When I went to vegas in may I weighed 157lbs. Right now december 9th im up to 171. So ive put on 14 lbs because of a new job, moving out of the house (losing gym membership) and well quite honestly a lack of motivation. Ive got another thread in the training secition describing my new workout routine with limmited equipment, but I also wanted to get my diet cretiqued. My goal is to get back down to 157 with no real set time table. Just as fast as possible, but as healthy as possible and with keeping as much muscle as possible. So here it goes:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: No Carb days (always the same)

7am : 1 serving of ground mean (93/7), bottle of water.

10am : handful of baby Carrots and Celery

1pm: 2 servings of 93/7 lean ground meat, salad (w/ dressing) along with peppers and 1 hardboiled egg.

4pm: Protein shake (3 scoops on non workout days), 1 scoop on workout days followed by another 2 scoops post workout around 630.

8pm: Lean meat typically chicken breast. along with a green veggie.

According to Fitday this comes out too....

1,109 calories 47.7 g fat, 14 carbs 152 g protein

*note: I did not include the carrots and celery for snack, or the peppers and lettuce in my salad.


Thursday, Friday, Saturday are my High carb days. I dont want to write out a full meal plan because it verys each day each weak. I stay away from breads (exception is usually 1 subway sandwich on wheat on one of the carb days). Other than that Its typically oatmeal and small protein shakes for breakfast and snacks, lean meat for lunch with a veggie and for dinner lean meat with whole grain rice or potato and a whole grain pasta dinner on one of the nights.

Heres an average macro reading

2100 calories, 29 g fat, 285 carbs 165 g protein

Sunday is my danger day. I dont pay all too much attention to meals or macros. I typically sleep in (with no breakfast or morning snack). I eat some kind of meat for lunch, and dinner and drink water all day while watching football.

For your weight you are low on FAT. I would bring your fat closer to 75-90g and it will definitely make you feel full longer. Add some olive oil to your pan and sear chicken breast. Many people here will agree that "carbs are the enemy" and many researches have shown that fat(healthy fat) in your diet is good for weight loss. You are brave and i think ill be doing something similar in the next few weeks to get the few extra pounds off myself.
