Your goal is completely realistic and in my opinion achievable if you are determined and stick to it.

My initial reaction is that you should cut way down on your brown rice and the oats. Replace them with greens like lettuce and brocolli. I am not sure that the skim milk will really be doing much for you either unless you just love milk and feel you cannot do without it.

ok so thats to much brown rice and oats? exactly why wold more vegtables be better then the rice n oats? is this hurting my fat loss by eating the amount i am?

It depends on your metabolism. I would without a doubt drop the milk, too much sugar. Get rid of some of those carbs, and get a postworkout shake in their. 40 grm pro/80 carbs, and make sure u get maybe 30 grams in for breakfast, and 30 in the first meal after your post workout shake (which should be 45 minutes later).

Oatsand brown rice are very high in carbs as Rambo suggests. You didn't cite a single green veggie in your diet plan. So, by adding the greens, you will be lowering your caarb intake and helping yourself nutritionally.

As far asyour questional about hurting your fat loss, to expand on what Rambo said, carbs convert to energy. What energy you do not use is store as fat. This is exactly the opposite of what you want. You said you wanted to lose fat, right?

ok im gona lower my oats and rice intake and up my protien and ad more veggies, and on the protien shake, well frankly after buying all the food i dont have the money to buy it, so if anyone has any ideas on "real" food i can eat after workout while on this diet plz tell me oh and im only eating around 160 to 180 grams of carbs a day and 0 carbs on my last meal, now correct me if im wrong but isnt that a low amount for my size, ive been lifting for 6 years and have a lot of hard dence mucle mass, and im afffraid if i go to low on the carbs im gona go catabolic, once again corrrect me if im wrong on this, im not a noob, i know how to eat to get bigg, but verry little when it comes to dieting down, this is my first "real" time going all out so ill take all the help i can.

Whey protein is ridiculously cheap, much more so than real food, check out www.allsportsnutrition.com, and you'll see it's very affordable and essential at that. It's not unhead of to skip carbs in the last meal, think about it, are you gonn use those carbs? No, your sleeping, so it'll be stored as fat most likely. Now, a big part of diet is your own body. if you feel like theis amonut of carbs is too much or not enough, then adjust it, because your diet should reflect you. A lot of lifter's go down to that many carbs, it's not uncommon. IF you feel weak, however, and unhappy, then up your intake.

thx for the replys guys they have helped, from what ive been told here ive devised a new plan, and bye the way i am 3 weeks in and have lost 6 pounds, so some of it is right lol

Bro it looks fine for the most part if you refuse to put in a post workout shake, then that's about the best you can do. It looks decent, just go head and post the totals you have in each category.

Like this...

Carbs: ? grams, Pro: ? grams, Fat: ?

And we can look at your overall breakdown, it's hard to eyeball it.

protien 285grams
carbs 100grams
fat 30 grams and around 2,000 cals
and i eat a serving of brown rice, can and half of tuna, a large glass of skim milk after training, oh and a servong of mixed vegies is 11 grams of carbs half a serving of oats or brown rice is 15 grams of carbs, tell me if i need to lower carbs more, up protien, lower or raise fat ect ect fill me in, ive been on the diet for 3 and a half weeks and have lost 6 pounds, i started at 266lbs so its working so far just wana get it to the maximum it can be is all.

Add 10 more grams of fat, and PLEASE add at least some whey protein to your post workout shake. Use honey or gatorade for the carbs if you can't get anything else. Those are horrible choices for PWO nutrition, they digest waaay too slowly. Other than that you will do well with your ratios.

thx man ill try and find a cheap protien, but right now im verry broke so its gota be hella cheap i can barly buy my food as it is, il have to cut out somthing and go with shakes for a meal anythign else guys? O.O
