    My Diet (Please Critique!!)

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to critique this diet of mine I have running right now. Just as a refresher, I'm going to post my workout with it as well as my current height/weight, etc.

    Any commentary you might have is welcomed, though as I've stated before, "you suck" isn't constructive and won't get me anyplace.

    I'm unable to account for the total amount of calories being burned.

    What exactly is it you are trying to achieve with this regimen? Is it fat loss or muscle gain? I definitly see room for improvement but Im not sure what you are trying to achieve.

    I would say a little of both. For right now, I need to stay under 195 lbs. while gaining strength/cutting my body fat percentage and bettering my cardio.

    So to answer your question, I am simply trying to increase my lean muscle mass without sacrificing much in the weight department.

    Hmmm LOTS of room for improvement bro... I recommend taking a look at the sticky and go back to the drawing board. I'll hit ya up with some ideas tomorrow...tired as hell and fixing to go to bed.

    Stickies and whatnot..

    Ok. I took a look at the suggestions and this isn't too far off from where I'm at; I just need to switch a few things out/in, such as egg whites instead of eggs, etc. I'll post again when I've got this routine figured out.

    Thanks.
