My typical day's worth of food on my new low-carb diet

It's much better then eating pizza or a cheesesteak for lunch, taco bell for dinner, and beer, chicken fingers, and fries after dinner...
 
Non-training days
7:00 am
 
1 1/2 - 2 cups whole milk w/2 scoops of protien
1 banana
multivitamin
 
12:00 pm
 
footlong chicken and broccolli sandwich without the roll
bottle of orange juice
 
5:00 pm
 
A S***load of chicken
a box of microwavable green giant vegetables (teryaki flavored)
 
7:30 pm
 
Something else high protein, eggs and cheese maybe
 
11:00 pm
 
2 cups whole milk w/ 2 scoops protien
 
 
Training days
 
Basically the same thing, except I eat 3 eggs and cheese before I go to the gym, and I have another protien shake with a banana after the workout (same as breakfast).
 
After the cruise I'm going on, I will start eating oatmeal w/ breakfast again.

It's amazing how perfectly this worked out too.  I plugged all this stuff into my trusty excel calorie program that I made a while ago, and the values came out to:

calories: 2585
protien: 264.1 g
carbs: 203 g
fat: 74.5 g

It actually turned out to be not so low in carbs after all, but it's much better then what I was doing before.

Cool, I can't remember if you said how much you weighed but I'm sure it's over 200lb anyway so that diet is gonna lose you some weight. Good luck!

Nice start
Whats this Excel program u got?

Ya whole milk and OJ.... You are right Jane, the change in diet + the tabata will make a huge difference.  BUT, if I hear you call my house of love "Taco smell" one more time, I will have to severely give you a verbal online lashing.

I'd post a link to it, but I don't know what site to use to do that.  It's a cool program I made.  I like it better then fitday and all that stuff.

Good work brihead301.

seems like a good diet, honestly i dont like low-carb diets, i think if you get the protein in and relatively low calorie you should easily be able to maintain muscle and burn fat!!

I can't remember what my carbs/protein/fat's are anymore, but If you're intaking only 2500 calories a day, those amoutns for carbs/protein/fat's seem wrong. I mean 264grams of protein seem alot!! And  203 grams of carbs seems a lot! lol....I intake about 50grams of carbs in a meal, about 250grams of carbs a day....and if you're going on a low carb, and you're only intaking 2500 calories, I don't see how that makes sense. Same goes for the fats

I'm sure you're custom made excel program is wrong!

ok..hmm...I check a site, and it says I should intake 428grams of carbs a day? hmmm.....do i have that much? that's a **** load of carbs......

Lol, actually it's more right then fitday or any of that crap.  I literally read the nutrition facts and use those values.  The only thing that I estimate is the fruit and weight of meat.  The math to program it is then very simple.  It's just addition.

hmm...I made be undereating, lol. My meals are about 450 calories, so that's only about 2200 calories a day, but I've just added another 500 calories, so we'll see how that goes. But the thing is in one meal I eat there's alot of rice and chicken already.....230grams of rice + 100 grams of chicken. I gotta up the fat intake but still....

I'd love to post a link of my program, but I don't know how to post an excel file.  I need something like imageshack, only for other files.
