diet

1. protein shake, bowl of oatmeal with a tablespoon brown sugar
2. 6oz chicken breast (or extra lean gorund turkey) with green beans
3. same as meal 2
4. (pre workout) 6 oz lean meat with sweet potato and some sort of veggie
5. post workout shake
6. 6 oz steak with veggies
7. 500ml liquid egg whites (pasturized)
8. protein shake before bed

RC you need to work out the numbers in this plan of yours. How many grams of protein , carbs and fats are you getting each day and also how many cals are you consuming. It odes sound like you are dropping weight a bit rapid. Could be a cause for concern. Work out the numbers bro and post it back up!

im assuming protein to be around 350g
carbs at 50-70g
and fats i dont know but should be pretty low

I would almost be willing to bet that your protein is not as high as you think it might be.

27-29 grams of protein per 100gms of chicken breast. so to get 350 gm of protein from chicken alone you would need to eat almost 3 lbs of chicken daily. I know you are having proteion drinkks and all that but based on just what info you provided you cals are too low. Carbs are too low also.
