I mainly need feedback on the diet aspect, because I am following riptoe for working out, so that should be fine.
Breakfast (basically its coffee and a sandwich, I just broke it down into parts)
Lunch is just a whole grain sandwich broken down into parts
Dinner is Steamed veggies, Fish/Chicken, and a scoop of brown rice.
Post workout is Oatmeal and Skim Cottage Cheese.

Anything else unclear ill be happy to let you guys know. Thanks for all the help guys!

So far already dropped 6 lbs. and made steady muscle gains. 7 weeks left!

Btw, the ones in Red are the ones I was thinking about replacing/taking out. If it is 0, it means I have taken it out.

Eat more than 3 meals FFS. Also I wouldn't bother with fat loss calcs etc. Just adjust 250 up or down per day as things change.

Sorry if it's not clear.
7:15 AM Whey Shake
9:00 AM Black Coffee + Bfast Muffin
12:30 PM Sandwich + Water
4:00 PM Fruit + Nutrigrain
6:30 PM Dinner and Whey Shake
7:30 PM GYM
9:00 PM Post Workout Shake + Post Workout Meal

This is 4-5 small meals, right?

Its 6 meals. Why do you group into breakfast/lunch/dinner then?

d0nkaments · #6 07-24-2007, 12:16 AM

You are right, I will change that. I did not realize that I was going to post this in H&F when I was making it so I just put what was easy on my eyes.

But other than that, is it okay looking Thremp?

Yeah, seems like a basic count of calories. There are numerous x factors to account for with diet. IE every calorie you eat is not directly converted to fuel... Berardi has an excellent piece on this discussing the thermic effect of food. I'd just use this as a template and modify it if your weight loss stagnates etc.

Are you trying to diet down or bulk? I'm somewhat confused.

Basically, Maintain/Build muscle while burning fat.

I am 6"1 at 215 lbs, trying to drop down to 205 or so while gaining some more muscle.

This is hard to do without carb cycling and even then debatable. If your progress stalls you'll have to decide to increase or decrease cals pursuant to your goals.

Thremp,

What would be your suggestion, now that I have provided my basic stats, diet, and excersize?
