Meal 3 - 1 can of tuna, 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1oz of peanuts

need alot more then this in the morning, go for 6 -8 eggs whites with 70g raw weight oatmeal. some EFA supps aswell.

Meal 2 - 1 cup of mixed veggies with 2 salmon steak or chicken breast, 1 supplementary fish oil pill
protein: 36g
carbs: 22g
fat: 7g
again, much to low, get protein up to 45g and carbs up to 45g. all of these carbs are from fibre, which basicly isnt a carb. get brown rice/oatmeal/quinoa or whoel meal pasta in there!

Meal 3 - 1 can of tuna, 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1oz of peanuts
protein: 49g
carbs: 18g
fat: 18g

what is with u and carbs?! get some carbs in there! same sources as listed above.

Meal 4 - right before workout 1 cup of green beans just to get some carbs for weight lifting
carbs: 14g
green beans are mostly fibre, terribel pre-WO! take some creatine anyway aswell as some fruit (apple/oranges) for a good pre-WO carb source.

Workout - weight lifting, 20 minute cardio after weight lifting

Meal 5 - Isopure protein shake
Protein: 50g
Fat: 1g
Carb: 0g
where are the carbs again?! ur cutting but u still need carbs! some oats and some fruit PWO.

Meal 6 - right before bed casein protein shake
Protein: 48g
Fat: 0g
Carb: 6g
have some fat source in here, natty PB in ur shake is always good!

And I repeat this as much as possible. Meal 3 and 4 get replaced on the days I work with whatever similar stuff I can get at work.

i think ur diet needs ALOT of work, u might think its good because u have plenty of protein but u have WAY to little carbs and fats.

ur macros should be similar to this: 2100 calories, 250g protein, 150g carbs, 60g fat.
