DIET Critique Please

You need to get rid of Meal 4. Use meal 5 in its place. A slower digesting carb source will be optimal for energy levels during your weight workout.
Consume 40 grams dextrose with whey following your workout. If this is not an option consume, whey and the two rice cakes at this time (no peanut butter with the rice cakes). Also ditch the light vinnagrette and have olive oil and vinegar on your salad instead. Depending on when you consume Meal 6, you might consider incorporating flax or another fat source (ANPB, Olive Oil et.) with your carb shake or egg whites.

This should really help you break through the plateau your experiencingl

Overall, your diet looks pretty good, just need to focus in on food combinations and nutrient timing. Good luck brother.

Here is my diet

Meal 1 (7:00 am) after 40 minutes of cardio
6 egg whites
4 ounces of lean steak, or chicken
1/2 cup oatmeal dry (37 carbs)

Meal 2 (9:30 am)
1 Labrada carb watcher lean body or biotest low carb grow Shake

Meal 3 (12:15)
1 8 oz. chicken breast or tuna
1/2 cup brown or basmatti rice
1 cup of broccolli

Meal 4 (3:30) pre workout
2 rice cakes or 1 rice cake and 1 apple
usually with 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter

Meal 5 ( right after workout (6:30)
8 ounces of chicken, fish or buffalo
2 cups of broccolli
1/2 cup of rice
1 cup of salad with light vinagrette

meal 6 (9:45)
1 low carb shake or 6 egg whites

I am starting to pleateau alot. I am not sure if it just time, lack of cardio, or something else

My cardio is at 45minutes a day sometimes twice at 5 days a week
I have had two cheat meals in the five weeks on the diet. Last one was 5 days ago.

Training: I am training as heavy as possible still, if I have energy
Supplements: multi, omega-3 liquid, and digestive enzymes also a heavy fat burner cycled.

Any thoughts would be appreciated[/QUOTE]

Meal 3 (12:15)
1 8 oz. chicken breast or tuna
1/2 cup brown or basmatti rice
1 cup of broccolli

Is this 1 8 oz. chicken breast or tuna suppose to be 8 oz?

IMO, Diet looks pretty good ... How is it working for you? I see you took out the PB, apple & rice cakes etc... Have you seem any improvements?

Have you tried it at least for 2 weeks?

What are the new Macros on it (total cals, fats, Protein & carb breakdown)

You are getting some fat from the steak & fish (when you eat it) & the olive oil ... Still taking omega 3 liquid? 'd still like to see the macros ...


Based on these answers, and if YOU feel this is working for you, or HELPING, my next question would be related to what you are doing for your training split...and for how long?

Maybe you need to switch things up a bit...do some HIIT cardio opposed to regular steady state for 40 minutes etc ... SOMETHING to push you past the plat...I think you know where I'm going with this

Looks much better bro. But in my opinion, you really need a faster acting protein/carb soure after your weight workout. Just a thought. Keep me posted.
