    Meal Three: 12pm

    Pasta - (100g) - 102 P0 C25 F0.25 Bad carb source mate. I'm not from the UK but I love saying mate. Anyway, if you must use pasta, use whole wheat, better yet, use flourless made by Foods for Life. Otherwise, go for whole grain brown rice, sweet potato, lentils, beans, or oats. Pasta is fairly high on the GI
    2 Tuna - 300 P50 C0 F5

    Total 504 P50 C50 F5.25


    Meal Four: 6pm

    Pasta - (200g) - 204 P0 C50 F0.5 Same as above. I'd also consider replacing the tuna with chicken in this meal because 4 cans daily is too much mercury IMO.

    Meal Five: 9pm

    Protein Shake (60)g - 266 P64 C0 F0 PWO or not? If yes, add 20g healthy fat. If no, go for lean protein, veggies, oil/nuts/avocado/etc

    Total 266 P64 C0 F0

    Add a meal before bed. 1 cup cottage cheese or 1 scoop casein powder with 1 tbspn. natural PB.

    1- You need veggies. Fibrous green ones in 2-3 meals at least.

    2- Your fats are way low. Also, I think your cals are low. Lower protein to 200, increase carbs to 150, fats to 50.

    3- You need to tell me when you workout so I can get your diet dialed in better.

    I Workout 1.5-2 hours after meal 4 and generally train 1 bodypart each day monday - friday with weekends off because Im never home.

    Edit: I also take Flaxseed supps and tend to stick to veggies on days I dont train...

    Ok, I'd suggest you workout 30 minutes only after that meal so you're fueled throughout. Have your shake with stated corrections 15 minutes after your last set and then have the following whole-food meal right after that when you get home. Should be good to go.
