I need help with my diet!!!!

[jenabena]

Ok... i have been reading all of the advice that has been given about diet. I drink the Pure Pro vanilla shakes right after i work out and also cook dinner after i get home from the gym. is that too much eating??? I will list what i eat and hopefully someone will respond with a good diet because I am stuck in a rut and confused.

My diet consists of: 5 egss, coffee breakfast
fruit/carrots or celery snack
meat and vegetable or salad lunch
Pure pro
fish, chicken or steak with a veg. mainly green (dinner)

i can't eat 6 times a day.

my goal is to get from 125 at 5'2" to 115!
if anyone can give me some advice on changing my diet or what i need to do i would really appreciate it!

Here are my thoughts....

Meal 1
5 Egg Whites, 1 Whole Egg (can add some veggies to it for flavor is you want)
1/2 Cup Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat
Coffee is fine, but also drink some water

Meal 2
Add Cottage Cheese to the Veggie snack (or Hummus). Don't do the FF CC, do Light or even Regular. You need some fat to help it digest slower, plus you HAVE to have fat in your diet. I'd stick with veggies rather than fruit.....celery, brocolli, carrots are okay (but have more sugar than green veggies). Don't limit green veggies.

Meal 3
3-4oz Lean Meat
Unlimited Green Veggies (salad, brocolli, green beans, asparagus)
Fat Source..... Flax Oil, Olive Oil, Almonds
(if you need extra carbs because energy falling, add 3oz Yam or Sweet Potato here)

Meal 4
Post Workout - Shake

Meal 5
3-4oz Lean Meat
Unlimited Green Veggies (same as above)
Fat Source

You can add another shake before bed, that is fine as Meal 6. Your muscle need something to munch on during the night, or they will munch on your muscle. Add a *little* fat to a whey shake, or a *little* milk, it will help it digest slower.

Salad dressing should be Balsalmic Vinegar and Olive Oil (or Flax Oil). Try not to do the "processed" store bought dressings - most of them have added sugar. Some are okay, just check the ingredients.

Drink AT LEAST 1 gallon of water a day.

Let me know if you have Qs.

Instead of Whey is the Pure Pro ok???? I was just wondering bc i have not found a whey shake that i like?

What kind of protein is in the Pure Pro? I am sure it is fine.

 

[jenabena]

The Pure Pro is by made by ABB and it has 35 grams of protein... and only 5 carbs , 160 calories, is that good, bad????

Details sound good....but check the ingredients....what KIND of protein? I bet it is a whey blend.

No Sugar/FF Choc Pudding made with skim milk. IN MODERATION. This is a good cheat day treat. I can't make it during the week because I'll eat the whole damned box.

ALso, you don't HAVE to cut EVERYTHING good out. Moderation is key. Plan treats into your diet. Eat 3 Hershey Kisses for a treat, just plan it into your daily plan. There is a BIG difference between eating without planning and planning to eat. Scheduled treats are a good way to not go overboard and to keep cravings at bay. Maybe not do it everyday, but a couple times a week is fine.

If you aren't planning on stepping on stage anytime in the next 12 weeks, then why deny yourself EVERYTHING?

yea that is my problem, i would bring in a choc. no carb treat (very small) and after i eat it i want more, and more and more! like just a minute ago i saw someone eating a kit katt and had to have one! i am soooo weak! hahaha, thanks again for everything, i will tell you another thing is crackers... those are bad too!
