Please review my diet

ok, get it... nevertheless, eating all the carbs of the day in one meal will have some consequences... me think... try really hard to figure out how to munch on some of that bread at different times man... it makes me really uneasy to see that carbo bomb in the morning!!!

Gotta agree with Pint here...

3 bananas + 60g oats + 4 slices of bread would be somewhere between 150 - 200g of carbs!

It varies between everyone, but I think at breakfast when glycogen stores are depleted, anything above 100g of carbs would be in excess and likely to be stored as fat. Not to mention about 84g of carbs in this meal are simple carbs (there are 28g of carbs in one banana). Try to shoot for around 100g of carbs (mostly complex carbs, but some simple carbs from fruit/dairy) and 50g of protein at breakfast.

Whoa, im worried about what youve said there.

I dont want to eat too much carbs too early, so ill try this instead.

If I eat the oats and whey with 2 pieces of bread around 7:30am, then the remaining 2 pieces and 2 bananas at 9:30am would this be better and avoid any fat gain?

We cannot guarantee that you won't gain any fat. Our bodies are not 100% efficient so it is EXTREMELY difficult to gain only muscle and no fat while on a calorie surplus.

From what I can gather, your diet currently looks like this:
See suggestions in caps:

Breakfast (7am)
60g oatmeal
2 slices granary bread with a small amount of low fat spread
40g whey

- GOOD FIRST MEAL! TRY TO HAVE IT ASAP AFTER WAKING UP TO 'BREAK THE FAST'... AN EVEN BETTER OPTION WOULD BE TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF OATMEAL INSTEAD OF THE TWO SLICES OF BREAD, BUT I WOULDN'T WORRY IF YOU REALLY LIKE IT.

Snack (9.30am)
Banana sandwich (banana inside 2 slices granary bread)

- LOOKS GOOD, BUT YOU NEED A PROTEIN SOURCE WITH THIS MEAL. A WHEY SHAKE WOULD BE OKAY, BUT WHOLE FOOD (E.G. FISH, MEAT OR POULTRY) WOULD BE BETTER. A CAN OF TUNA MAY BE THE MOST CONVENIENT.

Snack (11am)
40g whey mixed with water
- ADD SOME FLAX OIL TO YOUR SHAKE. WHEY IS QUICKLY ABSORBED SO YOU NEED SOME FATS/ LOW GI CARBS TO SLOW ITS ABSORPTION! AS ABOVE, A BETTER OPTION WOULD BE WHOLE FOOD.

Lunch (1:30pm)
1 large jacket potato (no butter)
2 180g tins tuna
- ADD SOME GREEN VEGGIES TO THIS MEAL.
- HAVE ONLY 1 CAN OF TUNA AND HAVE THE OTHER WITH YOUR 9.30 MEAL. ALSO, IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE TUNA WAS IN SPRINGWATER, NOT OIL.

Snack (4pm)
1 protein flapjack
- DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, SO I CAN'T COMMENT, LOL.

Dinner (6:30pm)
150g wholewheat spaghetti
250g lean minced beef
200g bolognese sauce

- LOOKS OKAY, THOUGH YOU SHOULD PROBABLY ADD SOME VEGGIES TO THIS MEAL.

Snack (8;30pm)
1 protein flapjack

WORKOUT (9pm for 1 hour)

Post Workout shake within 30 mins of workout
70g dextrose
40g whey
mixed with water
- GOOD!

snack (10:30pm)
handful of almonds
10 slices wafer thin turkey
flax oil
- LOOKS GOOD, YOU MIGHT WANT TO OCCASIONALLY TRY ANPB INSTEAD OF ALMONDS FOR VARIETY.
- ANOTHER THING: I HAVE EATEN FATS IN MY POST-PWO SHAKE MEAL BEFORE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS, ALTHOUGH INSULIN LEVELS ARE STILL HIGH HERE SO SOME PEOPLE PREFER TO JUST EAT PROTEIN AND LOW-GI CARBS.

Give this diet a try, and see how it works.
