fat intake is way to low.

yeah I was thinking that too.. what should it be around considering the proportions I have?

[taiboxa]

i like a 45/35/20 or 40/40/20 split on macros
p/c/f

your carb intake is high also... use tais example of ratios to make your meals more consitant... also your drinking a shake pre work out and post work out? ... seems like you should have a solid before you lift so i would take out meal 4 or lack there of a meal....... and then keep a pwo shake, which will replace nutrients needed. also to help your fat intake throw some almonds in on 2 of the meals... just my .02

cool, yeah I'll throw in some natty peanut butter too. I keep my carbs high cuz I have a shit load of trouble putting on weight
