Hi, i got some great advice from asimmer on diet and thought id put down what i intend eating today. im training 5 days a week and doing the weight loss/definition. my food stats allowe each day are as follows...

Protein -
158 g .. maximum 10% variance is acceptable
Carbohydrates -
316 g .. maximum 10% variance is acceptable
Fats -
26 g .. maximum 10% variance is acceptable
Total Calories -
2105 .. calculated maximum, do not exceed for current goal

i had 1/2 cup quaker oats made with water for breakfast, a low carb drink at 11.30-12pm ( 20g protein ),

salad 1pm - 2pm consisting of small tin of tuna,1 boiled egg,lettuce,3 cherry tomatoes,tablespoon of soft cheese,and a few bits of celery.

at 3.30-4pm il have a low carb chocolate bar, then at 7-7.30pm il have another shake ( after my workout)

then for dinner il have 1 skinless chicken breast,1 cup of cooked brown rice and a cup of mixed veg.


my goal is to lose fat and turn into lean muscle.

Are these the right sorts of foods i should be eating at the right times ? :)

just wanna make sure i get it right! :)

destiney - some protein with your oats in the morning would be good - a couple of egg whites or a scoop of protein mixed in with your oats.

Your snacks will serve your metabolism better if they are real food. have some veggies and cottage cheese instead of just a shake or a bar, when possible.

at 1pm (lunchtime) increase your vegetables, fill up!

You are on the right track, though.

You could also add a few tsp of olive oil or canola oil - some on your salad, some on your dinner.

And be sure to back it all up with a multi-vitamin. :)

3 3month diet cycles.

When you start seeing definition will depend on your bodyfat percentage.
