Critique my Diet Plan Please

[guerbear]

Hello Everyone, I'm new just signed up today! But that is beside the point.

I'm looking to cut a little bit so I'm trying out a HighProtein/LowCarb/Modfat diet and I just wanted some advice to how I could improve it more, or if it is fine as it is. I'm 5'11" 172lbs 12%BF. I have been active most of my life with sports, but I have only recently been lifting hard in the gym followed by 15 minutes of intense cardio on the treadmill (I hate running so I try to run hard for 15mins solid.) I'm looking to cut down to around 8-9%BF.

6am:
Protein Shake

7am:
1/2 Cup Oats (Plain oatmeal is boring, Any Ideas to jazz it up?)

9am:
Can of tuna
apple

12pm:
Grilled Chicken Salad, No dressing (Sometimes a spoonful or two of shredded cheese)

2:30pm:
2 eggs

5pm:
PWO Protein Shake

7pm:
Turkey Sandwhich on wheat (No cheese)
Veggies



I'm open for any suggestions, I haven't been on this diet long, probably about 2 weeks now, and I flucuate it a bit. Thanks!

Never! I said I was recently lifting hard in the gym but I was lifting moderately all winter with creatine and plenty of food, And it's time for the summer body

i like yogurt in my oatmeal. it makes it taste 100x better and you getta pick the fruit flavor.. just gotta figure in the extra cal. and carbs from it.

for oatmeal, a little splenda and skim milk goes a long way

I like the yogurt or the skim milk idea because of the added protein, I might try that, Thanks

Add cinnamon and splenda (or equal) to the oatmeal. I don't use milk/cheese when I cut, not even skim milk because of the sugar. Eat some egg whites if you need more protein.

Where are the fats dude? Nuts/ flax/ olive oil/ peanut butter(natural)/ oily fish/ fish oil etc?

Diet looks OK, add some fats and a shake before bed. no point in eating 2 eggs - make it 6

Haha Thanks Cobra. I do take 2 fish oil pills in the morning, for Omega-3s. But If I'm trying to cut down Calories, how can I fit some more fat in there, any suggestions?

This is Nuts...no seriously, Nuts!!! peanut butter (natural) in your shakes, snack on almonds. Olive oil too - put it on everything

I take 10 Flax oil tabs ed and 10 fish oil tabs as well (when I can manage it - repeats bad sometimes). Flax liquid is good for high doses but I hate the taste.

Lotta people dont understand sometimes u gotta eat fat to burn fat

Hope this helps
