Critique my diet please

[Havoka]

Hi guys, i've been looking over this board for a while and have learned so much already. I guess it's time to see what you all think I can improve on.

Age: 24, Height: 5'7", Weight: 146, Unsure of bodyfat %, but I could stand to lose some

My goal is to get down to around 135 lbs by Feb/Mar, and then go from there and see if I want to pack on some serious muscle, but for now, im just going for the healthy look and trying to lose some body fat and weight. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I started this thread and was just posting that smiley to bring it back up to the top, since nobody has replied yet.

Good luck to you as well. There is a wealth of knowledge on this board so keep looking around and soak in as much info as you can.

The FDA says that an "inactive" male needs 1610 Kcals per day for maintenance. It looks like you are aiming for 1570 Kcals/day. With the addition of 35-45 minutes of 70% Max. cardio, you should be shedding some fat in no time.
