Please Critique my diet.

[Lama2004]

Hello everyone,

I'am currently trying to cut-up. I want to lower my Bodyfat from 14% to 8%. I'am not really sure if my current diet is planned out right. Which is why I would like some opinions and advice towards my current diet regimine.

Wake up 8:00 A.M.= Whey protein shake with a half of a can of tuna, and a serving of oatmeal. (36.5 grams of protein, 27 grams carbs)


Morning snack 10:00 A.M.= 7 egg whites with half of a carrot stick( 22 grams protein, 4 grams carbs)

Late-Morning Snack 11:30 A.M.= 1 serving of Whey Protein ( 21 grams protein)

Lunch 12:45 P.M.= Can of Tuna with 1/4 a serving of oatmeal (28 grams of protein, 8 grams of carbs)

Afternoon Snack 2:10 P.M.= Can of Tuna, half a stick of a carrot. (28 grams of protein, 4 grams carbs)

WORKOUT 2:45 P.M

Post Workout Meal 3:40-3:55 P.M.( Depends on what type of bodypart)= 1 serving of Cell-Tech (75 grams dextrose, 10 grams of creatine)

20-25 min following workout= 1 Whey Protein Shake with half of a can of tuna (36.5 grams of protein)

5:10 P.M.= 1 Can of Tuna with a half a stick of a carrot. (28 grams protein, 4 grams carbs)

Cardio Session 45 minutes-60 minutes(Only done 3 times a week)
30 minutes after cardio session= 1 half a can a tuna~14 grams of protein)

7:00 P.M.= 1 can of Tuna(28 grams of protein)

8:30 P.M. = protein shake( 22 grams protein)

9:45 P.M. = half a can of tuna(14 grams protein)

Daily protein= 280-292 grams, Carbs = 122 grams, Fat = ?....2-3 grams?

So thats my current cut-up Diet. I think its lame... it needs more variety. My stats are; Age 18, weight is 172 lbs, 14% BF, height is 5 '8, and I'am a college student (don't know if it matters), I have a moderate metabolism, and my goal is to loose as much fat as possible while maintaining my muscle mass. I would really like to hear other people's advive and opinions if possible, please. Any advice I appreciated.

By the way, I ACCEPT(Don't Mind) ALL FORMS OF CRITICISM/OPINIONS, so don't hesitate to express your true thoughts , Thanks.

Your diet needs a lot of work......try making some changes and re-post the diet again and it will be critiqued once more. Hope that helped a little

By the way...deosn't creatine produce similar effects of whey protein for a Post workout meal.....I mean, in terms of muscle growth and recovery?

Absolutely not.

Oh God no!!!!!!!!! Bruh.......one is protein (amino acids, a macronutrient, etc.) the other is a supplement............very different. I encourage you to learn a lot about the differences by learning each of their respective qualities.

So should I just add 1 serving of Whey protein powder to the Cell-Tech? Or should I completely drop the supplement and just get dextrose and add protein to that?
