you dont have enough carbs IMO. I would drop the whole eggs in meal 1 and have 10 egg whites instead.

I think you should up the calories a bit. At 190, you have a bmr of about 1960, and with all of your cardio your maintenance falls at about ~3000. Don't go too low on calories too soon or you might get slowing results. Try getting 2300-2500 cals a day to begin with and see how that works out. Also, you might want to lower the fat just a bit, and increase carbs, but that's a person to person thing that you should see for yourself.

ya i thought so, but where to add. don't want to mix carbs and fats.

Like meal#1? Those 2 whole eggs in meal1 adds unwanted fat. Try 10 eggwhites instead this is what I do. I would add more meat to your PPWO. I also think you can easily get away with 45mins at 70% THR cardio. Don't have a shake meal2 have a real protein food source here as shown as your second option.

glutamine 5grams

Personaly I think glutamin is a waste of money. But it wont do any harm except to your economy

meal 1
7 eggs whites
2 whole eggs
2 corn tortilla/other carb

What is the GI of corn tortilla?? If its not very low I would ditch the whole eggs and replace them with a small shake or 4 more whites.

meal 3
lean protein 5oz
small salad w/ dressing

Looks good but if you ever feel like you are running out of gas easily during workouts have some carbs in this meal.

meal 5
glutamine 5grams
lean protein 5oz
small dinner salad w/ olive oil 55
baked potato w/ light butter or other carb

How many grams of fat are we talking about in this meal??

meal 6
r-la
fat free frozen yogert small helping (on occasion)
32g casien/flax

How many carbs from the yoghurt and how much fat from flax? Is it unswetened youghurt?

TOTAL
2083 cal
109 carb
293 pro
61 fat

I would start off a diet with a couple of hundrad kcal more. Like 2300-2400 or so. Protein is good and carbs and fat seems to be present in good proportions.

btw props for posting the diet in a clear and readable way with all the important things included

meal 3 would be a perfect place to include a couple of fruits btw. Try to squeese in fruits everyday somewhere.
