If people are commenting on the way you look and there's a noticeable change in physique; disregard the scale. Even on a low-cal diet, you're gonna build a good bit of LBM in the early months of dedicated training/dieting. Go by how clothes fit and try to pick out points of abdominal definition that weren't previously visible. Also, make sure to weigh in after pissing in the AM before eating. Regardless, don't put too much stock into what the scale says if you're lifting weights.

That said, your diet is poor. Without knowing how many cals you should be eating (gotta be more than this) or what your current physique is; I'll simply critique your food choices. From there, it's on you to set up a diet based on the numbers.

Morning: 4-5 whole eggs with 1 egg white Other way around. 1-2 whole eggs and as many whites as you can stomach (6-8). Have 1/2 cup of oats as a breakfast staple.

Snack: Natural Peanut Sandwhich on wheat bread and a banana This meal is no good. You have a lot of fat, simple sugar, and yet another starch all in the same meal. Cut the banana and the peanut butter. Have lean turkey or chicken on your sandwich w/ some light mayo, lettuce, whatever you want - low fat, low sugar. Also, make sure you're eating a strong wheat bread, not enriched.

Lunch: Two cans of tuna and hotsauce I assume this is your pre-workout meal since it's followed with a shake. If that's the case, you NEED an energy source. Hot sauce and tuna don't count. Two cans of tuna with 40g complex carb. A whole wheat tuna sandwich maybe?

Snack: No Carb Protein Shake which comes out to about 60 grams of protein i beleive? Look at the label. Most whey shakes are 18-22g of fast-digesting protein per scoop. If this is post-workout, add 1/2 cup oats. If it's not, eat a real lean meat/complex carb meal.

Dinnner: 1 boneless chicken breast or steak w/ 1 cup of brocolli or brown rice You're trying to shed body fat. The easiest way to do that is cut out carbs in the evening and substitute with moderate fat. Example: Chicken breast, 1 cup brocolli, 1 tbspn. extra virgin olive oil (no rice).

Bedtime Snack: One Apple Worst thing you can do = eating simple carbs (fruit sugar) before bed. Apples are a healthy food but don't fit into cutting diets. You need to eat a slow-digesting protein/fat meal to nourish throughout the night. Example: Casein shake w/ PB OR Lean steak w/ veggies in light oil OR 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese.

Look for the bold. Just by implementing those, you'll have an exponentially stronger diet and you'll see faster weight loss. However, as mentioned above - you need to figure out your TDEE and set calories accordingly. I'd say a 300-500 calorie deficit since you'll be doing cardio. No need to starve. On rest days, you should be doing cardio, if you're not - go 700 back.

thanks this information helped..i figured my diet was off because the food i was eating was a bit "too good to be true"

ok im bumping this because i have a few questions concerning damiens diet. Im going to follow his diet critque.

-What is the downfall to only eating 5 egg whites and 1 egg for breakfast and leaving out the half cup of oats.

-Can I drink my protein drink with milk or should I always be using water. Im drinking a no card protein drink after the gym if that helps anything.

-For the bedtime snack, i really cant eat cottage cheese. Ive tried to require a taste but it just doesnt work. I have casein powder but when you say a shake are you just referring to the powder in water or do you mix it with other stuff?

-What is the downfall to only eating 5 egg whites and 1 egg for breakfast and leaving out the half cup of oats.u wanna do most of ur carb meals early in the day--for energy--imo oats are one of the best carbs u can do--if u dont want the carbs do a good fat source instead

-Can I drink my protein drink with milk or should I always be using water. Im drinking a no card protein drink after the gym if that helps anything.i always say no milk--especially when cutting---just do water

-For the bedtime snack, i really cant eat cottage cheese. Ive tried to require a taste but it just doesnt work. I have casein powder but when you say a shake are you just referring to the powder in water or do you mix it with other stuff?do the casein in water--u can add a fat source here too--like natty pb---udos oil---fish oil
