Critique My Diet

[MonStar1023]

I am hoping some of the diet experts can critique what I have been eating the past week or so.. I really dont have too much of a choice because I am at school but still.

M1- protein shake (sometimes), skim milk, few whole eggs
M2- veggie salad (tomatoes, carrots, green peppers), tuna salad and/or whole eggs along with it, 1-2 cups of 1% milk
M3- eggs or tuna, sometimes chicken noodle soup not usually
M4- (postworkout) 100g dextrose & maltodextrin (Sweettarts), 20-30g whey protein
M5- tuna, chicken breasts maybe, salad, or even turkey or whole eggs

HELP!!
I know tuna salad is made with mayo but I dont have too much of a choice.. and from the looks/taste of it its not made with too much mayo.

Cut the skim milk and the sugar, i.e dextrose & maltodextrin. They are both forms of sugar. You should get enough carbs form veggies, small red potatoes with skin, yams, etc. Tuna with no mayo. No chicken noodle soup, too much salt. Protein shake should have no sugar, save money, eat boiled or grilled chicken, flank steak, etc. This will put size on you. Even if you are at school, go buy those zip lock containers, and store the food in them. If you are really serious about diet and exercise, this is what you want to do. Trust me it works.

you need more protein(steak,burgers)and the 1st daily meal should be food, not a shake

is this a cutting diet? or are u trying to bulk or maintain?

You may or may not need more protein...depends on how much you weigh.....same with the cals...

if you drink a whey protein shake in the morning, make sure you add some fat or carbs with it...i am bulking now, and always consume a large bowl of fiber rich cereal before downing my shake to ensure the whey isn't absorbed too fast and burned as energy.....if yuo are cutting, add some flax oil, or some eggs with cheese or some other fat source.

BUMP

I am maintaining I guess, maybe trying to lose some fat. Want to increase my mass/development too though.

Monstar- It's hard for me to make more than general comments because everyones metabolism is specific. I would suggest you maintain a food log. Start by determining your maintenance level and then adjust your calories base on your goals. Since your caloric requirements will change constantly based on your development this has to be a committment for the rest of your bodybuilding life, if you want to make consistent improvement. The three most important dietary considerations are IMO, sufficient protein intake(minimum 1g per lb), proper amount of calories, and sufficient EFA's. Obviously, you will require a food log to really keep track of the first two requirements.
