    First, wake your ass up early and do your cardio AM. If you want to get "ripped" for your trip then suck it up.

    m1: you need some good fat here (EFA's). stick to the egg whites and turkey, the bacon has too much bad fat.

    m2: Ditch the bread. Soda??? add fat

    m3: throw some flax in the shake

    m4: protein bars suck, find another source

    m5: Do you workout before this? PWO should be Post workout

    m6: Throw in some low GI carbs here, some pasta, potatos, etc.

    Some sources of EFAs...flax seed/oil, natty PB, nuts (pistachios, almonds, walnuts), fish

    You need fat to burn fat so make sure you are eating these. Also, Im confused about when you workout. Needs a little work.

    You have several flaws in your diet. Check outthe cutting sticky at the top of the diet forum. Use the principals to rework your diet and post it back here.

    You really shouldnt run anyway, too many negatives with it (bad on joints, shin splints, catabolic) IMO. I would reccomend walking for 45 mins. Although since your time may be limited, do whatever you can. If you have to do cardio after lifting then i recommend 20-30 mins after lifting then get home and take your PWO shake. One more thing, snacks are bad, small meals are good.

    Please read the cutting sticky. You still have several flaws in your diet.

    Take away the almonds in meal 6 and put them in meal 4. You want as a general rule (although meal 1 is ok) pro/fat meals until PWO and PPWO, in which case you want pro/carbs. If you have meal 7, add some fat to it. The point here is to slow down the synthesis of the protein to remain as anabolic as you can throughout the night.
