Made My Diet-Could I get a real quick Critique?

bigman · Apr 12, 2004

Since there are alot of people on this board that have dieting experince, I'm hoping one or two could take a quick look at my diet plan and make some suggestions. I searched different boards to find some parameters and then sat down and made up this plan/schedule to fit them. I am 5'7 and around 215-220lbs. I think I would look good around 200lbs (so I'm aiming to lose 15-20lbs of fat and as little muscle as possible). Training is OK and I'm thinking 20min working up to 30min stationary bike5-6 times a week. Here is my diet...............

#1 9 eggs (5 whole/4 white)
2/3 cup (dry) oatmeal

#2 Shake
1/2 cup almonds

#3 1/2lb Xtra lean ground steak
1/2 cup (dry) brown rice

#4 1/2lb Xtra lean ground steak
small salad w/ dressing

#5 2 cans Tuna
small salad w/ dressing

#6 shake

Protein ~351 gms
Carbs ~140 gms
Fat ~170 gms

The brown rice meal will be eaten after training on the days I train (early to mid afternoon). On the non-training days would eating only half portions of the almounds and rice be a good idea? Once in awhile I'll throw in chicken breasts for a change, but I'm not a real fan of chicken. I forgot-I also have salmon fillets. Expensive, but DAMN GOOD!!

This is new to me so if anyone could give me some suggestions I'd be very grateful

Thanks weight77. The carbs aren't too high? No worries about following it since I "designed" it to fit what I like.

carbs to high, have you lost it man. lol..unless you have a very hard time getting lean then I would up them a bit, but that is up to you. good luck.

If the fat does not fall off at a pace you like, then I'd bump up the cardio to 40-50 minutes. I think every thing looks great. Good luck, Q.

Diet

That looks alot like what I eat just to stay lean. I am very sensitive to carbs and get fat as fuck if I introduce to many carbs in my diet. What I have noticed is that on Sundays I have to eat a ton of carbs up until about 3-4pm just to fill up. I look very flat other wise. If I've been doing to much cardio I might also add a carb meal on Wed. Other than that it looks solid. Good luck!!
