    please critique this plan..

    My stats..
    28 yo..5'8"..158lbs, ~17% fat..most of the fat is around waist line..rest of the body is pretty much lean.
    six month goal..
    158-165 lbs weight, with ~10% body fat ( actually, more than fat % i want to flatten stomach)


    My office work timings dont allow me regular morning exercise..So i was thinking can I redistribute my diets so that I can generate the early morning effect of empty stomach exercise in the evening..
    something like
    keeping a 6 hrs fast before I exercise in the evening ( around 7:30 pm)
    that means having lunch around 12:30 pm, and not eating anything else, except some amount of milk to sustain my sedantry work profile at office..

    with this, I can have 3 meals pre-noon, and 3 meals post exercise.. and if required I can wake up around 3-4 am and gulp down a glass full of protein-suppliment-shake?..

    any suggestions are most welcome..

    What rational did you come up with for this diet?

    You need to eat properly spaced meals through out the day. Lifting on empty stomach is a waste and a waste of muscle. Take a look at this sample diet

    you need to eat every 3-4 hours apart. How bout doing cardio before work and weights afet work?

    well if you cant cardio in the AM then eat a pro fat meal and do your cardio an hour or two after eating it. That way you will have no carbs for the body to pillage before it burns fat. Remember to wait at least half an hour after cardio before eating as you will continue to burn fat in that time. The other option would be to eat normally carbs/pro and then do your cardio directly after weights. The idiea being the body has used the carbs for the weightlifting and will turn to fat burning by the time it comes to doing cardio.
