* Drink Water only

* Grilled chicken can be substituted with any grilled or baked lean meats (Turykey, Steak, Fish, Etc)
* Carbs can be substituted , but make sure they are complex carbs (asparagus, broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash, etc)

* Protein bars can be eaten only immediately after workouts

I would include a serving of green veggies with every meal on your low cho days.

What exactly does a 'bag' equate to?! oz/grams/cups?! - 3 'bags' of brown rice a day sounds like a shit load of rice.

You seem pretty good on the fat intake, but at 22% BF and only 5"6, cardio is probably going to be the biggest factor in dropping the weight here.

BY the tuna bags, I'm eating a 3oz portion. Today is the first crab day, so i dont know about the size of the brown rice bags. Anything in can sub for that tuna and salmon?

Well with tuna you're getting protein and a tiny amount of fat. No carbs. An interesting choice for a carb loading day.

If your intention is to get protein without the carbs, then to be honest, I wouldn't want to substitute it out for anything. Tuna is great for that.

Salmon has a little less protein and is fattier. Not much in saturated fats though.
