This is good but why the ricotta? You would be better off with a hard cheese.

Meal 3
2 slices whole wheat bread
Chicken breast 4oz
Pear
Brown Rice .5 cup
Romain Letucce
Olive oil 1tsp
Switch that to a whole grain bread instead. Stay clear of whole wheat unless it's a last resort. Actually, IMO, in this meal you should ditch the bread all together

Meal 4 (PWO)
100% Whey Protein- Gold Standard 1.5 scoops
1 banana
I would add some ff plain yogurt to this

Meal 5 ( I have an alterrnate meal that uses turkey and makes up the same macros)
Sweet Potato
Fat-free sour cream 2 tbsp
Green beans
Sargento mild cheddar .5oz
Chicken Breast 4oz
Strawberries 5.2oz
It's good.
Meal 6 (Bedtime)
Almonds .5oz
Fat-free cottage cheese 1 cup
This is fine too

Ok, the only problem I see with your diet is the lack of EFA's. You need some fish oils. Otherwise, I made some comments in bold above.

Whole Wheat's not good...

 

[tucker01]

Whole wheat is glorified white bread.

Whole wheat is glorified white bread.

But whole grain whole wheat is good? I would assume. It's what I usually get. Or whole grain, or whole grain oatmeal bread...

It depends on what's in it. Check the ingredients. Often, these products contain high fructose corn syrup and other nasty ingredients.

Ezekiel bread is a good choice in place of typical whole wheat bread.

I will def change what you guys said and I'll drop the bread like jodi said or I'll switch it to oat bread(my fav anyway). Can't wait to start it.

 

[footballmaniac]

I got a question about the fish oils? Doesn't the flaxseed oil contain enough EFA's?

 

[tucker01]

Flaxseed oil needs to be converted to EPA/DHA where as Fish oil doesn't

 

[footballmaniac]

Oic then. Will add some fish oils then.

 

[vortrit]

Does anyone know of any popular name brands for bread that are any good? Probably a long shot, but I thought I'd try. It's either try to find something close or drive 60 miles to get it, which might not be a big deal as I do it every two weeks or so anyway.
