critique my diet pls!

Sunday, June 01, 2008 8:20 AM
Well, this is the first time i am actually asking for diet reviews... My calorie expenditure is around 2500 right now, and I am planning on loosing some fat (hopefully). Training will be 3 times a week full body. And HIIT right after workouts. I'll add more cardio as I progress hopefully. Diet: Breakfast - 10:00AM 1.5 Cup of milk (1%) 1 Scoop of whey 0.5 banana 0.75 cup of oats (comes to 33g carbs) 5g glutamine total: 9g Fat, 66G Carb, 43G Protein Meal 1 - 1:00PM half can of tuna 90g whole wheat pasta green pesto, parmasean cheese little bit of olive oil total: 9g Fat, 56G Carb, 28G Protein Meal 2 - 4:00PM Same as Meal 1 5:00PM - 7:00PM Workout + Cardio 7:00PM - PWO Shake 1 Scoop of Whey Water Half Banana 5g Glutamine Total: 2g Fat, 16g Carb, 24G Protein Meal 3 - 8:00PM 4 oz chicken breast brown rice brocolli Total: 20g Fat, 58G Carb, 48G Protein Meal 4 - 11:00PM Snack 30-40 Almonds 18G Fat, 7G Carb, 8G Protein Total: 68G Fat, 269G Carb, 181G Protein 2379 Calories I am short of ~100 calories, and low on fat...I figured i can get some more fat using more olive oil, and almonds... I only have half a banana at PWO... is this enough or should I have more quick carbs there? would this diet be ok for loosing fat or should I focus more on a high fat, low carb diet?

since breakfast (not sure why thats not counted as a meal) and 2 arent post workout u should have a real protein source in at least one. ur fat is a little low. and honestly what u need depends a lot on ur body fat. when/if u do add the fats dont put a high amount of fats with carbs. as for cardio i would stick with steady state moderate cardio after lifting and HIIT on off days (adding in days gradually, start with only 2-3 days of total cardio)

I am not sure what you mean with your first sentence though... I have real protein in the meals, and i have whey in breakfast because i can't find egg whites here.. regarding cardio: will do what you said... It makes more sense anyways i think..

It makes more sense anyways i think.. by real protein i mean a true protein source thats not whey. Whey can be used for pre/post workout and for convenience when theres not many options but if its not around ur workout it's generally better to have a whole food source. milk doesnt really count as one and is more carbs anyway. the purpose of the steady state cardio is because HIIT is more likely to burn muscle PWO and steady state will burn more fat. obviously thats not an issue on days ur not working out so on those days I would suggest HIIT

Unless you have a really fast metabolism I'd say your carb intake is on the high side for cutting. You'll want to eliminate pretty much all simple carbs (except pre/post workout). I'd agree with bumping up the healthy fats in your diet and I don't understand your comment about not being able to get egg whites. Pre/Post workout is about the only time whey is worth a damn (imo). If you really can't buy eggs where you live (which seems really strange) then get some casein protein at least to take in the morning instead of the whey.
