    diet help

    I want to workout 2x a day, however I am finding I am usually taxed for energy by the end of the day. This in my opinion is because I am keeping my carbs low. because I am trying to loose weight..

    I will add up my macros later, but I just wanted some ideas as to how I should arrange this.

    schedule now:

    7am: 4 eggs + 1/2 oatmeal
    7:30, workout (cardio + weights, would like to drop cardio and do at night)
    8:40, whey shake with some added sugar.
    10 Muscle milk
    ~9 - 12 snack on a big zip lock bag of spinach.
    ~12-1 , Chicken breast + 1/2 brown rice.
    4pm, chicken salad.
    (6:30, I would like to add a 1 hour cardio workout)
    8, chicken breast
    10, muscle milk.


    I feel great right after my 7am workout, i start to loose energy by lunch.. the brown rice really picks me up again, but then im dead again by ~4-5.. I've thought about having my 4pm chicken salad for lunch, and my lunch for 4-5 (so im ready to go for the second workout) But then I literally drag my ass all day. Im not able to work properly between 10am and 4-5pm.

    Should I be adding another complex carbmeal?

    if you are going to fat loss, i would switch to working out 2 on 1 off or 3 on 1 off with cardio 2x a day except leg day

    when you get the macros up we'll critique

    what is your TDEE

    Okay, so after adding up my macros, it's become very apparent to me I need to add more food, My BMR is ~2100-2000 and my TDEE around 3200-3400.

    So where do you think I should add it? I need to loose about 25-30lbs of FAT.. so I have alot to loose.

    Again, I have a proper workout right in the AM, and I am wanting to do another 1 hr of cardio after work.



    This is what Im doing right now.
