Well I'm no pro, but I have been reading up lately and seeing how food reacts to my body. That's key mate. Seeing how a particular diet works for your 'individual' body.
On to your diet, could be much better. Natural foods are going to be a lot better for you than protein powder, in saying that you should probably only have a shake PWO, and after bed (on the condition it is a casein protein shake).
- meal one should be changed ideally to 2 eggs, 8 whites and a cup of oats
- meal two bump it up to 150g of salmon, drop the cashews and have a cup of brown rice and move your eggs to meal one
- Meal 4 get about 200g of chicken breast and 220g of sweet potato into you drop the rice you can move this to meal two, and move the veggies to meal 6 (this way your carbs are being distributed more evenly which I believe is more ideal)
- meal 7, well I still have dairy, but there are mixed reviews about it, some claim it reduces vascularity, while others claim it is essential. I have canceled it out of my diet and there was no change, so just see how you react to it. Same deal with the skim milk, a lot of people dislike it and with good reason, but it's up to how your body deals with it. So change it to water, if you see a negative change then switch back.
- I just noticed you had full fat mayo, take that away, add some almonds in meal 6
- No banana or ice cream at night, you could use trade those simple carbs to complex carbs in your PWO shake by putting in 3/4 of oats in there much more beneficial
- I would drop the dextrose (again mixed reviews about this) they say that glycogen needs 24 hours to recuperate others says the dextrose aids it's recovery process, again if it works for you then keep it up, if not see how you react with the oats.
