    WHERE ARE THE WEIGHTS. YOU SHOULD INCORPORATE AT LEAST SOME HEAVY RESISTANCE TRAINING. GIVE YOUR MUSCLES A REASON TO STAY

    my goal is to get leaner than i already am. i know this is not that great so please help.


    meal 1:

    6 eggwhites (100/22/2/1)
    2 whole wheat bread. (200/8/40/4)

    COULD DEF PICK A BETTER CARB SOURCE. WHOLE WHEAT BREAD ISNT TERRIBLE, BUT JUST THROW IN SOME OATS INSTEAD. ALSO UP YOUR PROTEIN A LITTLE. ONE MEAL THREE (WITH CHICKEN AND RICE) YOU DONT NEED 82 GMS OF PROTEIN IN ONE MEAL SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. ALSO, YOUR TOTAL CALORIES ARE PROBABLY A BIT TOO LOW AND THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO THROW IN ANOTHER 200 OR SO CALORIES

    total - (300/30/42/5)

    meal 3:

    2 scoops whey protein (240/46/6/4)
    1 tablespoon flax (120/0/0/13)

    total - (360/46/6/17)

    meal 3:

    9 oz chicken (425/80/0/9)
    3 oz brown rice (095/2/20/0)

    SEE BREAKFAST COMMENTS; TOO MUCH PROTEIN IN ONE SITTING

    total - (520/82/20/9)

    meal 4:

    2 scoops whey protein (240/46/6/4)

    total - (240/46/6/4)

    ANOTHER GREAT PLACE TO ADD SOME CALORIES. SOME WOULD SAY ADD A FAT SOURCE, THOUGH THIS THREAD WILL PROBABLY SUBSCRIBE TO ADDING COMPLEX CARBS. EITHER WAY, THIS PROTEIN WILL BE DONE DIGESTING IN A COUPLE OF HOURS SO YOU WANT TO SLOW DOWN THIS PROCESS BY ADDING SOMETHING


    meal 5:

    2 scoops whey protein (240/46/6/4)

    total - (240/46/6/4)

    SEE ABOVE, MEAL 4


    meal 6:

    6oz cottage cheese (110/16/10/0)

    total - (110/16/10/0)


    totals:

    (1870 cal/266 protein/80 carbs/49fat)
    CORRECTION: YOUR CALORIES ARE ONLY 1770. THAT IS TOO LOW IMO. CARBS DEF NEED TO BE ADDED

    ALSO, WHEN DO YOU WORKOUT

    2 whole wheat bread. (200/8/40/4)

    total - (300/30/42/5)

    i think you should add more protein here. from your stats i would shoot for around 400 calories a meal. a couple whole eggs would help.

    meal 3: 2

    2 scoops whey protein (240/46/6/4)
    1 tablespoon flax (120/0/0/13)

    total - (360/46/6/17)

    no real reason to use whey here is there? if this is the only thing you can possible choke down then sure. but I would rather see you eat 8oz of lean meat and some sweet potato (which is super easy to bring with you) or some oats, or rice.

    meal 3:

    9 oz chicken (425/80/0/9)
    3 oz brown rice (095/2/20/0)

    total - (520/82/20/9)

    now, this is a meal. i would lower the protein a tad and up the carbs. 50/50 in terms of grams here would be fine.

    meal 4:

    2 scoops whey protein (240/46/6/4)

    total - (240/46/6/4)

    again, lean meat (beef, steak, eggs, chicken, tuna) and more carb choices (i like oats and sweet potatoes).

    meal 5:

    2 scoops whey protein (240/46/6/4)

    total - (240/46/6/4)

    above

    meal 6:

    6oz cottage cheese (110/16/10/0)

    total - (110/16/10/0)

    sure, use the cottage cheese, but why not a chicken breast, broccoli, and a little pasta as well?

    totals:

    first of all, give us a little more info. height along with weight and the best guess you can at your current body fat percentage. a picture helps (and don't forget the legs).

    as far as your approach looks, you aren't eating enough, and your choices are poor. not enough carbs. i have bolded any opinions i have on your diet in accordance to this thread's topic; performance.

    without specifics on your body's composition, it is hard to guess at your caloric needs, however I would guess you should be slightly under the 2800 mark daily. again, add the info and we'll go from there.
