Critique my diet...

Well - I was 235 until about 3 weeks ago...so apparently it is possible. How can I get my metabolism in gear? Just start eating more?

dude, I'm just like you! for me it was all about getting my calories up to about 2200 to 2500 5'11'' 225 down from 240 i actually got fatter eating only 1800 cal. a day! If i were you and it sounds like we are alike in metabolism, cardio 3 x a week medium intensity for 15 min eat 5x a day small meals tons of protein cut all carbs after 5:00 or 3-4 hours before bed with an average weight training schedual expect to drop about 2-3 pds a week of fat! i know it takes a while but we dont gain fat overnight so we wont lose it overnight! trust me this works i originally went from 300 to 201 in 7 mths doing this !

Just an FYI, cutting carbs before bed is a HUGE MYTH! It all depends on your macros for the day versus your training time...............trust me bro, carbs are not the devil!!!!

Your body is in starvation mode bro..........it's storing EVERYTHING to save for famine. You need to eat at LEAST 6 meals a day...............just break em up!

yeah the carb thing isnt true. I sometimes eat 1 serving to 1 1/2 serving of oats before bed and my b/f has just shot up all of the sudden.

I've been on this diet for about 3 weeks now. Before that I did a high protein diet for about 2 months, but ate a lot of junk as well...plus I was drinking - I've cut way back on the drinking and I'm gonna try to up my intake on this diet cleanly.

My current workout is weights MWF (HST) and 30-60min cardio T,Th,Sat

I try to spread out my food intake throughout the day...usually 2-3 meals are bigger than the rest, but I never go more than 2-3 hours without eating something.
