So after the last few weeks of tweaking my diet on this forum we all finally got it right, BIG thanks to all you guys who helped me. My personal trainer said she wanted to have a look at my new diet, so I gave her a copy. She went through the diet with two other PT's from the gym and the pt manager.
Here's a link of my diet that you all helped me create for those that don't remember:

And here's the changes that they all came up with from my gym:
Meal 1 –Should be consumed before morning walk to kickstart metabolism and get it started for the day. What you consume here, will be burnt during your walk
Stupid. Also why are you walking? Are you 85 years old? HIIT or bust
Fruit salad with berries and a tblsp Jalna yoghurt
-strawberries
-blueberries
-banana
-apple
Definitely not precardio. This was a stupid thing to suggest.
Meal 2
High fibre:
-porriage
-1/4 cup high quality muslie (fruit free) with organic high fat yoghurt (ie, jalna/biodynamic)
-eggs with mushrooms,tomato,avocado,and ¼ cup brown rice
IF it fits your macros than it's great. Good luck getting it to fit your macros.
Meal3
150g chicken
brown rice ½ cup
almonds
Take out the almonds
broccoli, mushrooms, green salad mix
Meal4
200g Salmon (fresh),or tuna, eggs, baked beans,chicken
sweet potato, cucumber, zucchini, mushrooms,green beans
brown rice or dark rye bread (1slice) with tblspn of avocado
Did they just throw every food they could think of in this meal? You need to limit this to a couple of sources, leave the veggies
Meal5
yoghurt (200g)with berries
tbls of walnuts (chopped)
Why someone would ever recommend eating dairy, fat, and sugar all in the same meal is beyond me. Let's break this down: SPike insulin + eat dietary fat - protein = insulin pushes fat sources into fat cells
Meal6- No later than 7:15pm, your body wont absorb the nutrients properly if you eat later in the night
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. What do they think that being in a horizontal position your body will now choose to throw away all food consumed? Link me to that study lol.
5x eggs (2whole 3 whites)
mushrooms, steemed green vegies, mixed salads
herbs and spices.
Not a bad meal but I prefer to eat red meat last. I find it increases quality of sleep, just my opinion.
NOTE:
I want you to try and get your energy and nutrients from whole and nutritious foods,
its really important that you have your first meal before your morning walk as it will get your glucose stores up which sustain energy throughout the day
and the cardio your about to do. Let's spend all night depleting stores just to fill them back up before we try to burn fat., don’t worry! You will burn the calories of this meal on your walk anyway
Correct! Prior meal + cardio = net loss of ZERO. See who said math isn't fun.. In this meal plan you are still consuming approximately the same amount of calories, but once again from a larger variety and more nutritious foods. With your protein shake id really like you to replace it with a meal
Hey at least you can take something away from this, however if you prefer the protein shake i would recommend a complete protein, called optifast.
Yeah cuz other protein sources aren't complete?
