Female diet advice

[DuckTheViking]

Hello good folks,
I would much appreciate some advice and critique on the diet of my wife.
169cm (5'7") 59.5kg (131lbs) BF about 25%
Currently training 5 days a week, about 1hr 20min lifting weights per session, currently only minimal cardio.
1. Legs (heavy)
2. Push
3. Pull + Glute + Abs
4. Rest
5. Legs (volume)
6. Upper body
7. Rest
She had a baby 12 months ago and have been working out hard for the past 4-5 months, now really getting into the groove and sticking to the training plan and diet. Trying to reduce more fat while adding a bit muscle, in a sustainable way (e.g. eating food that she actually enjoys)
In addition to the food on the plan, there is probably around 50cal from tasting baby food (a couple teaspoons during the day) and maybe a teaspoon of no-fat milk in coffee.

If it were me, I'd change:

- Remove bread and add equivalent carbs in fruit (berries)

- Add in more yogurt, cottage cheese, or animal protein rather than casein at night

- Increase total amount of vegetables

- Cyclic dextrin carbs powder over Maltodextrin during workout.

- small amount of fat pre workout such as nuts.

Agree with all the above.

OP, diet looks good! Nice job. Hope she gets the results she's looking for!

Gents, many thanks for quick and informative feedback! Good to have it confirmed that we were not totally off from the start. We will take on the advice and make some adjustments, let's see how this goes!
Cheers
