I love fitday. It cuts my calorie counting time by 200%. It is so cool that you can cutomize each foods nutritional info to what is exactly on the label. And then save each food items cal contents to use the next time you eat it. Cheers for fit day.
Sorry for not helping. I just wanted to share my love for fitday.

OK so your macronutrient ratio is:

53% protein / 27% carb / 20% fat


The total cals seem ok for your size assuming you are looking to cut. I agree w/ jpt - I don't like your selection of carbs. I'd rather see some oats in the morning -- I think I'd also rather see more carbs in the meal before the workout and you could skip them in the meal between M1 & M3. First meal of the day is one of the best times to put in a decent amount of carbs. My carb meals are around 30 g carb & I"m a girl. Instead of that sandwich you could shovel down a cup of oatmeal / steel cut oats and whatever protein for bigger energy kick.

Another though is to drop into a carb cycle -- I don't know about you guys so much but when I stay at a static level of carbs for a long time, I tend to stall, esp if its a low % of my total carbs. Its not that you are low, but I don't think your carb sources are as good as they couldl be for the few that you eat.

Your right I don't eat alot of carbs....I do though snack on fruits during the day..it that killing me....I usually eat about two peices of fruit aday..usually bannanas and apples. the oatmeal I can get is quaker and it has some sugar should I opt for the plain stuff..I get my food from a coffe truck that comes to work..so the whole wheat turkey sandwich is what looks the best...there is also egg whites and turkey in a tortilla wrap but I thought the whole wheat would be better...thanks soooo much sassy!!!

Check all your options on www.fitday.com first -- you can build your meal plan and any variants on there before committing to it. Sometimes just seeing the total numbers is enough to turn off your appetite for certain things that sounded like they were "good". For ex, even a sandwich you can "build" with each individual component if you have to - at least get a ballpark estimate on it.

But its the guessing that can kill your progress.
