50 grams of oats, 2 scoops of pharma whey

11.00am
250 grams of fish, smoked cod
low fat coleslaw
salad
The biggest problem with this meal is that it's virtually all protein with no energy source, which isn't a good idea. Personally, I would ditch the coleslaw and add a healthy fat source like avocado. If you want to keep the coleslaw, although not recommended since it probably has mayo in it, just add some EVOO to get some healthy fats in there.

150 grams of chicken,
100 gramsof jacket spud,
littlest amount of salad cream
Not sure what a jacket spud is, but as long as it's a complex carb, you're okay, imo. If not, I would replace it with a complex carb. If you want to keep the salad cream, go ahead, but if your progress starts to slow, this would be one of the first things I'd change, along with the coleslaw above.

Not familiar with cnp, but if it's mostly sugar, I would drop it since you're cutting; replace with a complex carb instead.

150 grams of chicken
1 table spoon of olive oil
salad
In these salads, be sure to use leafy, dark green lettuce and not light, crunchy iceburg lettuce; all that is is water and sugar.

8.30 - 9.00pm ish
2 scoops of whey
1 table spoon of natural peanut butter
Personally, I would change this to a cassein protein for slower absorption throughout the night. I realize that the fat from the pb will slow it up a bit, but if you're going for optimal, then definitely change it.
300/50/3.5/5
TOTAL
CALS = 2236This sounds a bit low for your stats. I would start somewhere around 2,500 but hey, if you say it's working for you, then keep at it.
PRO = 318
CARBS = 133.5
FAT = 38Too low; you can change this by adding the fat source I suggested in the 11 and 4 o'clock meals.
i havent counted the fat from the coleslaw as it is very low, prob doesnt go over 45 grams with the coleslaw added in Again, if you feel yourself start to stall, remove this. Keep the healthy fats instead.
any comments suggestions from veterans would be appreciated,
