looks like your going pretty low carb, any reason for this?

You might want to add in some healthy fats as well, something like flax oil w/ your last 3 meals possibly.

Yup, definitely lacking EFA's. Also, you should add fibrous veggies.

And it looks like the cals are a little low. What is your daily intake?

The apple post workout is not such a good idea, since it will primarily reglycogenate your liver and not your muscles.

I would not be able to handle not eating any solid food for 6 hours (12-6 you only hve protein shake). Maybe put some real food in there.

I'm thinking the same thing.

You need some real food. Less shakes.

What everyone else said. Need some EFA's and veggies, and although you can do with the shakes, I can't see surviving on shakes without getting insanely hungry.

Thanks for the replies! I made some changes. I added in 2 tsbp's of Flax oil to meet the lacking EFA's. I added in a tbsp of ANPB to meal #2 to get some 'real food' in there, it's not much but it will hold me down until lunch. I also added in a cup of veggies to my dinner. I ditched the apple and will use some Optimum Nutrition Glycoload to replenish Glycogen after my workout. Any more recommendations? I know I should add in more real food but I get protein powder for free so it's cheaper for me as funds are tight. Thanks!

Can't complain if you're getting the powder free! Looks pretty good then.

You should take your oatmeal in the morning, either meal 1 or meal 2.
Also add another cup of veggies to meal 3.
And personally, I would lower the cottage cheese in half in meals 3 and 5, and add an extra chicken breast.
