Any suggestions on my diet?

Hey everyone,

Let me first start off by saying all of you guys on this site are really awesome for helping one another and myself out.It is really cool there is a place like this to get answers and help.

Now I am a "newbie" and I did do some research before throwing this diet together...I didnt wanna be "that guy" who just comes on and asks a stupid question with out doing any research....anyways I am basicallt looking to drop about 10lbs or so....get my 6 pack back..which I used to have back in the day :( ....right now i weigh 175lbs...going down to 165lbs...I'm 5'9....dont know what my body fat is but i put a pic in so you guys can see what I'm working with........here is the diet any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Diet plan


8:00 am Meal 1: 5 egg whites with low fat cheese, 2 pieces of whole wheat

8:30 am……work out then cardio

9:30 am PWO Meal: All the Whey Orange & Dextrose and Maltodextrin

11:30 am Meal 3: Chicken breast,veggies, brown rice.

2:30 pm Meal 4: Protein shake

5:30 pm Meal 5: Lean steak…veggies…salad

8:30 pm Meal 6: Protein shake with flax

10:30 pm snack: either celery or some carrots

Several points:

Do your cardio first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach.

Lift later in the day (or on a different day) at least 6 or 7 hours and 2 or 3 meals after cardio.

You need more fat. You only have fat in meal #6. Fat is your friend.

Don't eat fat and carbs in the same meal. In meal 1 if you must have cheese, try to make it ZERO fat cheese.

1 quick suggestion, add a can of tuna or some caesin to your last snack of the night.

yeah man i def recommend u split cardio and weight training.

Thanks for the help guys...I'm gonna def split cardio and work out later in the day....hey this might be a stupid question but i know you guys said add more fat...can i have bacon with the egg whites then :yellowcon

I believe they mean EFA's found in things such as flax seed, and different kind of nuts among other things. Typically animal fat isn't the best choice.

dont eat bacon, canadian bacon is alright. instead u should consume a healthy fat such as an efa. for instance after my am cardio i cook 6 egg whites and 2 whole organic eggs with 1 tbl spoon of extra virgin olive oil

A few quick rules to live by:

-Eat protein at every meal.
-Never eat JUST protein. Eat carbs OR fat with each meal.
-Never eat BOTH carbs and fat at the same meal.

So, to answer your question, yes you could eat bacon with the egg whites, but:
-you won't want to eat it with the toast as you'll be mixing fats and carbs
-you don't really want the toast anyway. You want to keep your carbs low on the glycemic index (brown rice, yams, oatmeal).
-bacon could be ok from time to time, but it's fat is saturated. There are better options for sure.

thanks fellas appreciate all the help for sure ;)
