What do you think about...

1) Can I add an english muffin to breakfast?
2) Can I put a spoonful of PB in each of my protein shakes? Tastes so much better!
3) I need more options for meal 2 & 3 as I am usually on the road for work during this time. I typically get a salad or a subway as road food.

IMO diet looks pretty dialed in but your Friday routine would kill me....

I have to admit that I don't do a whole lot of legs...squats and calf raises.

I also eat... string cheese, fruit, yams, brown rice, deli meat, subway, chipotle, spaghetti

Well, chipotle is a tough one for cutting. Their food is typically very high calorie. Of course it depends on what you're ordering. Also, where do all these other foods you're mentioning fit in? I mean they weren't written in the original post, so are they in ADDITION to those foods or are they 'sometimes' substitutes? If they are substitutes, for what?

Personally, I find that I have to track calories and macros daily to make any progress. Good luck.

Yams and brown rice are sometimes substitutes for veggies during dinner. String, cheese fruit and deli meat are subs for snacks. Subway and Chipotle are subs for lunch (I save half the burrito for later). Spaghetti every other week for carb load.
