    critique my diet for strength

    Hi there, I use this diet which was written by my personal trainer while I still had one

    I don't know if it's good, but I would never think of a diet when you eat bread in the evening anyway

    breakfast

    low fat yogurt 250 grams
    wholewheat bread 70 g
    whey protein 30 g
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g

    snack

    apples 300 grams (around 2 apples if I remember right)
    whey protein 30 g
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g



    lunch

    chicken breast 200 g
    wholew. bread 150 g
    tomatoes 200 g
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g



    snack

    apples 300 grams
    whey protein 30 g
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g


    dinner

    fish 200 g
    green leafy vegetables 200 g
    wholewheat bread 100 g
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g

    stats
    Age 29
    Height 5 ft 10 inch (177 cm)
    Weight 169 lbs (or 77kg )
    Bf% I suppose around 13%

    Cycle history I did 2 cycles, if I remember right in 2007 deca 200mg winstrol tabs 30 mg per week for 4 weeks and then deca 200mg sustanon 275 mg for 4 additional weeks - that worked
    in summer 2008 I did a cycle with deca 275 mg and sustanon 325 mg for 10 weeks and that didn't work, I think the gear was bogus
    then I did a small cycle with anavar only in january 2009 with gave me good results (not much muscle but good shape)

    Years training i restarted in 2007 til now, I trained in 2003 to 2006 as well

    breakfast

    low fat yogurt 250 grams Remove
    wholewheat bread 70 g Remove in favor on non-processed carb such as oats, organic cornmeal grits, ezekiel bread. Go for 40g complex carbs.
    whey protein 30 g You have barely any real food in your diet, it's all shakes. Remove this and get your protein from egg whites or lean meat.
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g Remove the oil here. Let the carbs do the talking in this meal, we'll add it back later.

    snack

    apples 300 grams (around 2 apples if I remember right)Remove. Replace with complex starchy carb (oats, sweet potato, brown rice, lentils, beans, etc). Again 40g.
    whey protein 30 g Remove. Shakes are a PWO supp and a good way to add extra protein. They are not a substitute for real food. Use 6-8 oz. lean meat or fish.
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g Remove, for now.



    lunch

    chicken breast 200 g
    wholew. bread 150 g Again, go for a non-processed carb source. Something that's flourless.
    tomatoes 200 g Replace with fibrous green veggies. Tomatoes are healthy but not a good choice for BB diets as they as sugary, not fibrous. Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, etc.
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g Remove.



    snack

    apples 300 grams Replace with 1/2 cup of oats or 25-30g complex carb
    whey protein 30 g I'll let it slide here
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g Remove, for now.


    dinner

    fish 200 g
    green leafy vegetables 200 g
    wholewheat bread 100 g Remove this altogether. Let's cut off the carbs right now to speed up fat loss.
    extra virgin olive oil 10 g Add another 10g (2 teaspoons) since we aren't using carbs anymore.


    Before bed: ADD A MEAL!! Components: fat as an energy source and to slow digestion and a slow digesting protein source. Options for protein: Whole milk cottage cheese, casein, red meat. Example of my before bed shake: 2 scoops casein, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter. You can use a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, or whatever fat source you'd like though.

    Feedback above. Your diet is healthy compared to most average guys but it's not really a bodybuilding diet. It's all fruit, bread, shakes, yogurt, and minimal lean meat, complex carbs. Implement the changes in bold and be sure to add that last meal.
    Also, it's nice to see you're getting your good fats in via EVOO but you also need at least 8g of Omega-3 and 2-3g of 6/9 EFAs. Supplement with fish oil capsules to the tune of 10g or so daily.
    Make those changes and re-work the portions how you have to in order to keep the caloric deficit you want.
    What's your cardio status?

    I see...
    some questions for you:
    (1)well maybe I am mistaken but I though wholewheat bread is a Complex carb!
    i eat meat of fish twice a day, is that really too little? it's very difficult for me to eat meat or eggs in the morning cause i am very sleepy & have to rush to work...that's why...
    (2) for dinner 200mg of fish(usually i eat salmon or tuna) should have some omega 3...

    anyway I am bulking up right now...
