Hows my diet look

[ffknight84]

here are my total intakes for today...

2472 calories

165g protein

140g carbs

137g of fat

6 meals + 1shake 2 meals are protein bars that total 440 calories 54g of protein 13g of fat and 21g of carbs

i think ill be getting more protein in meal 1 from now on, i ate some sausage this morning and it had a lot less then i normally have, same with meal 5 as i wont be eating 1 slice of pizza everyu night either ( its my birthday, i can have a little fun), i expect about 120-130g carbs ( .66g/lb ) 200g protein ( 1g/lb) and 150g of fat (.75g/lb).

meal 1 2 slices of whole wheat bread toasted with butter
2 scrambled eggs
Some kind of meat ( steak/bacon/etc.)

meal 2 2 slices whole wheat bread w/ mayo
Couple slices of deli meat sometimes cheese too

meal 3 ( after workout snack ) protein bar and shake after workout

meal 4 sirloin burger w/ cheese

meal 5 most likely chicken and some green veggies ( tonight like i said was pizza )

meal 6 ( snack ) low carb ( 3g ) high protein bar

this is baiscally how i am going to be eating mon-sat from now on. Ill throw in some extra carbs on sun for fun but not go over 250 on that day. How does this look for long term fat loss/muscle building???

the fat intake sounds a little high for me...but that's just me!

 

[ffknight84]

looking over what i have eaten today so far it looks like fat intake will be around the 120 mark...

bump

 

[molnii]

higher protein intake more and lower the fat....

HMMMMM....

well, u have an awful lot of bread......

I'd use oats in meal 1, and some yams or rice later......... if you even want to have that many carbs......

fats are not really high, the issue is where you place them and with what other macros............for what purpose.......wrong place, they are too high............correct locations, they'll be fine.........

carbs as well.........same deal.......


example...........bread w/mayo is not a good choice.......bread w/butter and steak is also not a good choice...........

deli meat is fine, but has an assload of sodium, not that sodium is a concern unless u are close to showtime.......

when i use the word diet, i dont mean cutting, or trying to lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks. I am just trying to eat healthy and slowly burn off the fat while adding some lean mass and developing a healthier eating style. Trying to stay away from large quantities of sugar like cake and ice cream, and throw in moderate amounts of complex carbs like whole wheats and vegetables. After I reach my goal of fat loss, then I will work in more carbs till i can maintain a good weight and low body fat. IE 215 pounds @ 8%. Im thinking long term here, as in 1-2 years. I burned off a large portion of fat over the past months, and want to get back into eating somewhat normal again, so I have enough energy from the foods i eat insted of caffine or ECAs.

I dont know does this help with the question. Im basically asking if around 2500cals/125g of fat/ 200g of protein/ 100g of carbs, is going in the right direction for a long term "diet"

BTW I guess im kind of a picky eater, i dont eat oats, or a lot of fruits and vegetables, which is probably why I was so badly overweight. Instead of snacking on a piece of fruit, I grabbed the coffe cake, or the ice cream bar . That is also why i like those law carb protein bars, theydo a decent job of satisfying my junk food cravings without killing me.

when you're not cutting than your ratios look good for me!!

hmm been doing some reading and i am going to make a few changes

3250+ calories a day 6 meals

250g protein 1.25g/lb
150g fat .75g/lb
125g carbs .625g/lb

meal 1 - 2 whole eggs + 4 egg whites cooked with oil not butter 2 slices of whole wheat toast dry & some meat (steak/sausage/bacon/etc) most of my fat for the day and about 1/3 of carbs


meal 2 - post cardio - advant edge carb control bar and low carb soy protein shake 19g carbs 45g protein


meal 3 - 2 slices of dry whole wheat bread with deli meats & cheese & few pickle slices, lettuce about 1/3 carbsand a little bit of protein

meal 4 - can of tuna with serving of mayo and pickle & celery diced up in mix nice amount of protein and a little bit of fat

meal 5 - post lift myoplex bar 29g pro 1 g carb 2g fiber and protein shake 8g of carbs and 49 g of protein

meal 6 - low fat meat and green vegetables to round day off
little bit of fat/carbs and a nice finisher of protein

im eating 4 solid meals and 2 snacks, staying low on the carbs ( for the amount of training i do ) now once i go back in season ill prolly be eating 4500 cals a day and loose more weight then

i dont think your ratios are too bad (i personally just couldnt eat that much fat) but just a hint of advice to help you keep from gaining any fat i would try to split your meals into either Protein/carb or protein/fat.......try to keep from having meals that contain both significant amounts of both fats and carbs....thats trouble

 

[ffknight84]

ill do that thx
