I'd replace the vit C in the P/F meals with a liposoluble antioxidant(vit E),and move that to the P/C ones.But that's the least of your problems.

Without macros,it's hard to tell if the diet matches your stats.Doesn't seem to,anyway.

[Kärnfysikern]

macros is short for macronutrients. i.e carbs, fat and protein. We need to know how much of those is in the meals to be able to say anything

Dont replace the vitamin c because it increase insulin sensitivity and lowers GI so its perfect to pro/carb meals.

One thing though is that it seems like flax oil is more or less your only fat source. You need some non essential fats aswell. Replace the flax with olive oil in one meal and try to get some saturated fats in there aswell.

Meal one for instance could be a serving of semi lean meat instead.

Well,that's why I've told him that I would move it to the P/C meals.But why not replace vitamin C with E in the P/F?Or with ALA,being both fat and water soluble,if insulin sensitivity in such meals is ever a concern..

sorry I read your post to quickly my bad

instead of replacing I would rather say he should use both. There is many advantages to heavy vitamin c dosages. I myself have been using around 10g/day now for over a year. Going close to 20g/day for periods.

[Kärnfysikern]

also considering vitamin c's short half life in the blood it is best to spread out the dosage over all meals.

There is no real advantage to eating vitamin e with a pro/fat meal as oposed to a pro/carb meal. The ammount of fat needed for the body to absorb the vitamin e is miniscule and even tuna would be sufficient.

How do i find out the macros? Cause i really want to lose weight and stuck to whatever you guys tell me

[Kärnfysikern]

you can check sites like www.fitday.com and search for tables on the net. Most products like pasta ect comes with the macros printed on the package

[Surfstud18]

That site is way cool

[Surfstud18]

good bad?

Stop relying on the whey protein and get some real foods in you to help speed up the metabolism. No reason to supplement protein when cutting.
