Damn brotha, thats a well laid out diet. Good job, looks real good to me. Ony thing I think that you should change is take away a few shakes, for example try and get some cottage cheese before bed, that would help out for sure.

Very nice job! :thumbsup:

Giantz already mentioned the shake thing...the only other thing i would suggest is maybe make your pre-workout a pro/carb meal (i think you have a good carb total for the day, so maybe just adjust the level from another meal) but it depends how your energy level is during your workouts. you might not need it, so see what works for you.

but, i just wanted to say that i think it is awesome that you spent so much time on posting your diet. that's the most organized layout i have ever seen! its refreshing :)

I absolutely hate cottage cheese and I would have to eat alot of it to get 50grams of protein. You got any other good suggestions for this 50 grams of protein? Having trouble because I don't really feel like eating chicken breast before bed.

I am starting tommorow so I don't know about my energy levels yet. I could take MEAL 1 and move it to pre-workout and move the other ones up. You think that is a good idea?? The only thing is I would be going Pro/Fat then Pro/Fat in the morning. Is this bad or does it not matter? If it doesn't matter I will switch them.

Thanks again

Beef Jerky, low carb yogurt, any type of meat etc....A shake before bed is decent but not ideal, simply because you want something that digests slowly. So if you are going to have a shake, make it Casein, that should help.

Actually, if it were me, I would take some of the carbs out of your second post workout meal. You dont need that many carbs there. But for some reason, the program I have that calculated calories (DietMaster...got it when i was a PT at ballys) says a cup of cooked brown rice (medium grain) is only 218.4cals/4.52 pro/45.84 carb/1.62 fat. It could be wrong, but where did you get your calorie counts?

Anyway I would subtract 15carbs from both meal 5 and meal 1 and have 30 grams in your pre-workout meal (if you choose to go with the pro/carb). But if you do alright with your current meal breakdown...I wouldnt change it just yet.
