Food choices are good. Overall calories are too low though - you can't starve yourself and expect fat loss to occur. Your TDEE is probably around 2400 - 2500 - you shouldn't be cutting on any less then 2000 calories IMO. I'd actually suggest eating even more then that - you're already doing an hour of cardio which should create quite a deficit as it is.
This is easily solvable by bringing your fat macro up. I'd take one of the eggs out of meal 1, keep it more of a pro/carb meal, remove carbs from meal 5 and replace with some healthy fats (tuna in olive oil would be perfect since you're already doing tuna), make sure meal 6 is a casein shake and add more fat there - 1tbsp of natty PB, a serving of nuts, avacado, etc. How about a few fish oil caps as a supplement as well?

Nicely done gbrice! beat me to it dude. Gotta love the diet guru. IMO I think I would add a little carb with the PWO shake, I don't know maybe a cup of oats or something. Other than that I agree with Gbrice's advice.
OP are you taking Isopur Zero Carb? Looks like the nutr. facts of Isopure...Last edited by cerealkiller326; 12-30-2010 at 05:47 PM.

Wow dude, good catch! I actually saw that (lack of PWO carbs) while skimming through the diet and then completely forgot to mention it. I guess the guru is slipping (hence, the gimp)!
Definitely DEFINITELY add carbs PWO, very important IMO. Oats is what I use as well. Just throw em' raw right into the shake, shake it up, chew, repeat!

Haha now I know the explanation of the gimp.

If you're looking to cut fat aggressively post workout would be the only time I would have starchy carbs. For your other meals replace the carbs with fats. Get a nice variety of them too:fish oil, extra virgin olive oil, fattier cuts of grass fed beef, pastured butter, coconut oil. They all act a little bit differently in your body and they all have a function. Don't neglect fats.

Disagree. I totally agree with not neglecting fats, but don't feel PWO is the only time starchy carbs should be eaten even on an aggressive fat loss plan. At the very least, 1st thing in the morning, and surrounding the workout window (pre/post). Everything else can be a combo of fiberous carbs (leafy green veggies, etc) and healthy fats. Just my opinion. I'm not a fan of super low carb diets. If you want to run keto, run keto. Otherwise, eat some carbs!

Even though they suggest you change meal 5, I was wondering What pasta you eat with NO protien?

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. Personally I do really well on a lower carb diet. That's not to say that everybody does though. When I am losing fat (or advising others on losing fat) I like to start out simple and work their calories downward when plateaus happen I just prefer the drop to come from carbs rather than fats.
