Not sure about my diet...help please? - Friday, November 09, 2007 2:46 PM
Hey all, I'm 16 and I've been following a very basic diet scheme. I've definitely reduced my bodyfat, but I feel like I need to to take it to the next level. Basically goes something like this:

8am : oatmeal with dried apricots

11am: fruit salad (apples/pears/bananas)

1pm - Salad(lettuce,tomatoes,sweetcorn,capers,olives,olive oil)
      Tuna
      Egg whites
      Low-fat yoghurt (about 65kcal and 0.5g fat)

3pm - Apple

6pm - Apple


8.30pm - Grilled chicken breast
          Spinach w/ olive oil
          Broccoli
          Cauliflower
          String Beets

10pm - Some broccoli

I think I eat way too much fruit, what do you guys suggest? By the way, on tuesdays I eat pasta in the afternoon (I need it after 8 hours of school :( )

Waiting for your suggestions...

Edit: As for cardio, I've been doing Guerilla Cardio for the past 7 weeks.

is your main goal then fat loss? how tall are you and what do u weigh? did u figure out the calories you need with one of the tools here or elsewhere on line?
 
you are not eating enough protein regardless, you should strive for protein at every meal-your 11,3,6 and 10 have none. your breakfast needs more as well.
 
you also need more fat, the olive oil looks like all
 
aim to have proportional meals as well, so that they are more balanced...tuna and egg whites could be dispersed so you are just having one then have another with each meal
 
eat more complex carbs rather than that fruit, some fruit would be fine but you have way too much sugar in comparison to coplex carbs
 
the veggies look good, keep that up
 
are you weight training? if so, you should be having some sort of post workout shake
 
i think the most imporatnt thing to do first is get ur protein up so you dont lose much muscle...without knowing your weight or anything its hard to give u a rough number of how high, but definitely more that what you ahve
 
 
bulking/strength training

Hey, thanks for the reply?

You're definitely right on the protein part, although I do take a protein shake on my weight training days(about 28g). I am 5'9" and I weigh about 134 pounds. at 1pm I usually eat about 4 egg whites, would it be better to eat two then eat one at 4pm and another one at 6pm instead of the apple?

I don't have a clue what I could possibly eat at 10am though, I'll be at school so it has to be a quick meal.

EDIT: For the 10am meal do you think eating a small sandwich with grilled chicken breast w/ lettuce would be good?

i dont know A LOT about cutting, but your having apples from 1-8:30, i think you should get a meal in there with some protein and maybe fats.
