This is a suggestion maybe try adding some Black tea in the mornings and during your work outs.

Why: It offers a multitude of benefits such as enhances fat loss and can also help in particular blunt coritsol levels by half.

Shoot for 4 cups of black tea per day to knock down cortisol.

-too many pro shakes, too few real food sources of protein (really only 2 meals)

-I would make lunch my afternoon tea, and make the aft. tea my lunch....in other words, make lunch a pro/fat, and make aft. tea pro/carb.....i would skip the pre-workout meal, b/c aft. tea is now the pre-workout meal

if making that switch, I would keep the turkey breast my lunchtime pro source w/almonds, and make the aft. tea pro source the WPI shake w/potato

either way, i would prefer the aft. tea pro source to be real food (turkey or chicken breast)

-IMO, your dinner, on lifting days, needs some starchy carbs
