    Technically his old diet and this diet are not very diffrent, he is not eating enough. 3 whole meals pretty much...

    1) he is working out on empty stomach.... not a good idea waste of muscle

    2) 4 egg whites is only 14 grams of protein for breakfast

    3) You need to encorprate more efa's in his diet... say meal 3

    4) before bed... he is just injesting a fat meal where is the protein?

    I suggest you take a look at the cutting sticky.
