Critique My Diet...

[Achilles13]

Meal 1 - 5 ouncesChicken Breast + 2 cup of Oatmeal in skim milk or water.(8am)

Meal 2 - 2 servings of ON Gold Standard Whey + 2 cups of oatmeal in skim milk.(3pm)

Meal 3 - 2 cups salad(includes tomatoes, carrots, grilled chicken or turkey)Ranch Dressing(probably fat free)+ 5 ounces of baked fish.(6pm)

Meal 4 - Chicken breast 10 or 15 0unces + Green Beans (8pm)

Meal 5 - 5 or 10oz of Chicken Breast (10:00pm)

Meal 6 - 2 scoops of ON Whey(11:00pm)

Been following this diet for awhile. Ususally use this format when I am cutting and bulking. On bulk, I add in more oz in each meal. Using fitday, this estimates around 2609 cals...57fat...143carb...366prot. I've been following this diet since the beginning of my cut and continuing until I lose more weight. Looking for advice from anyone who sees something faulty. Thanks AM.:afro:

The smartass with the bad diet here will advise.

It looks good except for a couple points: First, there's 7 whole hours between the 8:00 and 3PM. Gotta have one, or possibly 2 snacks in there bro. And then, you have 9 hours between the whey and the breakfast. Unless you sleep 9 hours, I'd suggest trying to move the meals closer together. That's the more major improvement you can possibly make.

If you had caseinate, I'd say chug some down during the night, that's pretty hardcore. One last thing I'd do is add a few tablespoons of psyllium husks or some broccoli, which is very low-carb, to one or 2 meals in there. But this is pretty minor. Is your PWO shake the 3PM?

Thanks for replying Grunt... I should've explained why there is such a long time in between my first two meals. I go to school around 9am and don't get out unti 12:15pm. After that, I hit the gym, which consists of my lift and cardio. Ususally runs about a hour and half. Then it's like 30 min drive home(dedication right there...lol) . Usually around 11:00am I eat 2 or 3 oranges for some carbs so I can get ready for my workout. The 3pm meal is my pwo shake/meal( I drink the shake right after workout and may 3 a small orange or apple then eat the oatmeal when i get home). I'll look into some caseniate and broccoli.

But you really really really have to do something about that nutrition gap, man, ESPECIALLY preworkout. You're catabolic right before starting your lifting and that can't be good for you. A couple oranges is better than nothing, but how about bringing something to school bro? I dunno, a container of cottage cheese with a veggie, like Red Bell pepper, celeri or broccoli and use the cottage as a dip. Yum.

I don't do cottage cheese to well bro. That stuff is gross. How does a protein bar(IDK what kind yet) and some broccoli or something?

Protein bar is better than nothing. I'd bring a banana, an apple, a tuna sandwich and a yogurt and have them all down in that empty span you have.

Need some more help. Eating this consistant and this many calories, I feel bloated throughout the day. Is this normal? I mean, I don't mind eating frequently and upping my cals from 2k but should i feel like crap and bloated?

Another question, when I was taking in no more than 2k cals, I felt leaner and 'drier'. Mearning throughout the day abs were visible and vascularity is very visible. Why is it now that those things are leaving? I haven't been back on the scale since upping my cal intake but I don't feel like I have been losing weight. Going by michaels calc, I am takin in the right amout of cals. I hold water well so i usually don't take in more than 150 carbs a day. Right now, I feel like it's a waste to diet and workout because no progress is being made. No I am not looking for quick results, but losing 2lbs a week shouldn't be hard and following what the calc outputed, i should be losing but feels like i am not. Once again when I was taking in about 2k cals(maj protein)... i lost some muscle but not alot. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on. Right now I feel like i am at a standstill and I need some advice.


To also note, my second meal is usually at noon which consits of brocolli, orange, and a protein bar.
