Critique My diet plz!

[Jason R]

Hey I'm new...I've been in the gym for almost two months now. I am seeing some gains (w/ weights) but I fear that my diet is not that great. I am looking to cut some body fat and gain muscle mass. Is that quite possible? Should I try to gain muscle then cut later? I just lost some weight and I'm afraid of gaining it back.

Here goes:

Meal 1: 3 egg whites 1 whole egg, Oatmeal (not instant) w/ half a banana

Meal 2: Whole Wheat Pretzels, almonds, and fruit (strawberries or banana)

Meal 3: Tunafish Sandwhich (or lean turkey, pastrami) on whole wheat bread

Meal 4: Myoplex Shake (regular, not low carb)

Meal 5: Chicken breast w/ peppers, onions, and broccoli (sometiems substitute new potatoes for pepers and onions)

Meal 6: Oat Bran cereal w/ half a banana or High Protien Cereal

Its best to focus on 1 thing at a time, muscle or fat loss; however, because you are new to this it is quite possible to do for a short amount of time.

What are your current stats. I see alot of changes that can be made

 

[Jason R]

Well I'm about 5'6-7 and weigh 135-140

I have no idea what my body fat is...I know that doesn't help much.

Just want to get a good idea of what to eat.

At that bodyweight, I wouldn't worry about the little bit of fat you have. I think you should concentrate more on bulking at building muscle.

Ok sounds good to me, what should my diet be like? Be specific because I'm almost clueless

How bout you start at the stickies titled Guide to Cutting & Bulking. We don't create diet plans sorry. You need to learn for yourself and read. Read through those stickies and come up with a plan, once you have one, post it and we can help critique it for you. Good luck
