Critique my Workout/Diet please

[Nathan183]

My first post here, I've been reading this forum for awhile and have learned a lot.

First some history. I played hockey for many years and was very active in high school. When I started university I got lazy and was not very active. I also had a terrible diet (soda, fast food, etc.). About 8 months ago I decided it was time to clean up my act and stopped drinking soda, reduced the amount of fast food I ate and tried to eat healthier when I did. This gave me good results, I went from 200 lb to 170 (I'm 6'1). I'd still like to lose a bit more fat, but I'm more concerned with adding muscle right now.

Here's what I'm doing now: I've started Rippetoe's Starting Strength 3 times a week. I've signed up for a basketball league and intend to play tennis about once a week. On days when I'm not doing anything else I plan to do some HIIT.

A typical day:

8:00 wake-up

8:30 orange

9:00 arrive at work, eat a granola bar

10:00 banana

11:00 a few handfuls of a mix of nuts I keep at work (sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts)

12:00 half of my lunch - a chicken breast and some mixed vegetables

1:30 the rest of my lunch - same thing

3:00 some spinach with homemade olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing

4:00 an apple

5:30 dinner - typically a can of salmon, brown rice, and some fresh veggies

~7:00 workout/basketball/etc

~8:30 Vector energy bar and sometimes a sports drink, another can of salmon sometimes

10:00 bowl of yogurt with granola and blueberries/raspberries

11:00 sometimes a light snack - a piece of fruit or some nuts

12:00 bed

All I drink (other than the occasional sports drink) is water. I drink about 6 L a day.

This works out to about 3300 Calories, 130g fat, 350g carbs, 200g protein.

This seems like it might not be enough Calories, but the fat seems really high. Also, I imagine I should be eating more earlier in the day but I don't seem to have much appetite then.

Also, I have some multivitamins that I was taking, but according to Fitday, with this diet I'm greatly exceeding the RDA for the vitamins/minerals they have listed. Should I keep taking the vitamins? Are there any other supplements that I should be taking?

From what I've read it's difficult to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Should I just focus on gaining muscle now and losing fat later?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
