    see bold above---need to get ur fats up--they are very important to cutting fat, imo----shoot fo a 40/40/20 split or 40/30/30---get these fats from efas---the natty pb will help--more fish oil---make the changes and re-post---put ur workout time in there too--between which meals--that will help explain some of ur choices---good job no layin it out and givin us all info

    Mg's pretty much cleaned up your diet perfectly at this point. However, if you're looking to drop 6-8% body fat in 4 months, you'll need to cut the carbs in your last 3 meals altogether imo. That or create a larger caloric deficit in general.

    I feel my caloric intake isn’t high enough now. Its not casein protein. Can I add fat free milk to it to help slow the absorption of the protein?? Thanks for all your help.

    yea casein is real close on macros as whey--i wouldnt do the carrots---double up the veggie servings and do a 3/4cup oats instead of 1/2 in the first meal and u should b straight----good luck and keep us posted
