come on now..i know there are some of you lookin at this!

[novastepp]

you know what you need to do. you need more cals. up your protein intake. and i would add more carbs to all meals. what is your cardio schedule like? training? if i were you, i would up my carb intake in the morning for sure. keep those muscles full and glycogen as full as possible during your cut to help promote gains in teh gym.

*cracks fingers and waits for updates*

Up the oats to 1 cup and try some liquid egg whites with your whey protein instead of the "1 scoop pro nos".

Meal 2:
6 oz. Chicken Breast Pro: 40 Fat: 1 Carb:0 Cal 195
1 Slice Whole Wheat Bread Pro: 4 Fat: 1 Carb: 10 Cal: 50

If you are going to go with bread try Ezekial bread and make it 2 slices. A medium sized swt. pot would be ideal

Meal 3: Pre Workout
6 oz. Chicken Breast Pro: 40 Fat: 1 Carb:0 Cal 195

Def. need to up the oats to 1 cup, this is preworkout you need the gylcogen for energy.

Meal 4: Post Workout
6 oz. Chicken Breast Pro: 40 Fat: 1 Carb:0 Cal 195
1 Scoop Pro Nos Pro: 21 Fat: 9 Carb: 18 Cal 145
¼ Cup Brown Rice Pro: 4 Fat: 1.5 Carb: 35 Cal 170

Again, up the carbs. You could go with 1/2 cup brown rice but I prefer 1 cup of oats.


Meal 5:
6 oz. Chicken Breast Pro: 40 Fat: 1 Carb:0 Cal 195
Tablespoon all nat Pb Pro: 3.5 Fat: 8 Carb:3.5 Cal 95

Looks good. Try to work some fish oil or almonds in as well.

Meal 6:
High 5 Protein Pro: 26 Fat: 1 Carb: 1 Cal: 118

Total Pro: 26 Fat: 1 Carb: 1 Cal: 118
You need some good fats here to slow down digestion for your overnite fast. Cottage cheese would also be good here.

Comments in bold above. You need to try to cals consistent for each meal. This can sometimes be hard with breakfast and pwo but try your best. I would like to see you revise your diet with some mine and nolva's suggestions to see where we are at. Makes these changes and we can go from there.
