Here is my is my plan for this diet is to lose bf% I'm at 22% I work out 5 days a week one muscle group a day, and at least 30 min cardio everyday I carry all my weight around the mid section love handles some chest too
I don’t much care about taste right now might care more in the weeks to come. But the thing I would like to know is that this is more food than I require and I do add a protein shake after workouts but with no vegetables am I hurting my bf loss or is this diet going to work for what I’m trying to accomplish. Oh I plan on doing this for 6 weeks?????

looks to be around 2300 calories. your 240. seems low to me. i'm a low calorie guy and i dont go below 10 x bodyweight in calories. also there are pretty much no fats in there. the protein and carb sources are good but you need fats. might want to add in 30 to 50 grams of healthy fats to aid in fat loss. if no fat is present in your diet you will not be able to lose fat. maybe for breakfast add 2 yolks, extra 10 grams of fats and 132 calories. you have 254 grams of carbs i think here. you could elimate a few, maybe 50 to 75 grams and replace those with fats. best bet would be to start with 3000 to 3200 calories and then work your way down week by week. this way if your not losing you can adjust things. with the current set up you may stall out quick.

hmm, you're also showing your brown rice and oats to have fat in them...what brand are you eating? guess i'll have to check mine when i get home, cuz that doesnt sound right...

either way, it's adding the right kinds of fats that you need to focus on, maybe flax, some fish, nuts, etc...

thanks for the tips also what did you mean by stalling i have been on this diet for 1 week and have lost 2lbs also i might be wrong on the oats i think when i first designed diet had oatmeal packet and changed 2 1cup old fashioned...

1st week of dieting should produce more than 2lbs at that weight. You should of dropped 4-5lb just with water weight IMO. If you can stay steady at a 2lb loss per week, then you're good.

FYI

quaker individual packets 28g have 2g of fat

Uncle Bens brown rice (boil in a bag) 1g of fat per 1/2 cup serving

yeah, it's pretty neglible...but i use REAL oats, not the packets, and Texmati brown rice...neither has as much fat as those two you mentioned...either way, he put down 4.5g of fat, which didn't add up in my book...FYI

oh, and i forgot to mention, that fat isn't the kind of fat you want to be shooting for anyway...IMO

No, drinking plenty of water will help to decrease water weight and bloat.
