Diet Question ?

[dya]

I just started my contest prep.Here is my current diet ( 15 weeks out )

Meal 1 - 10.00 am

50g Oats
100ml Skimmed Milk
10 Egg Whites
Protein Shake

Meal 2 - 1.00 pm

250g Chicken Breast
50g Brown Rice

Meal 3 - 4.00 pm

250g Chicken Breast
50g Brown Rice

Meal 4 - 7.00 pm

5 Rice Cakes
Protein Shake

Meal 5 - 10.00 pm

10 Egg Whites
50g Brown Rice
Stir Fry Vegetables
Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Works out at around 300g Protein / 200g Carbs.I havent counted fat as it is very low.I do take 1000mg Omega 369 with meals.I would like to do a lower carb / higher fat diet,but as im diabetic,i need small amouts of carbs throughout the day,so im stuck with the high protein / low-mod carb / low fat diet.My question is,would you throw in a high carb day once per week ?Was thinking of taking in 400g carbs on Sundays,along with a small cheat meal.....Opinions ?

Only you can know! See for yourself how your body reacts to the diet and make a decision based on results.

If by the end of the week you still look pretty full and have leaned up a bit, no need for a sunday refeed IMO... wait one more week and then adjust your daily carb intake (same amount if everything goes smoothly, higher if flattening out too fast or lower if hardly any change).

Really it all depends on YOUR results.

Also I think you should consume more fats. Such a low amount is not especially healthy... even though I understand your concern about diabetes and not being able to lower carbs too much (hence less calories having to come from fats). But still it's very low!
