Hi,
I would like some diet advice. I am looking to cut, I am 200lbs, 6’-4” and generally am in good shape, but cannot seem to get rid of my stomach and chest flab. That really really gets me down. I have problems with shakiness when I get hungry and have been trying to eat a diet of low glycemic carbs and high protein. I saw my doctor recently and my bloodwork showed absolutely no problems with insulin or low sugar, but I find that when I don’t eat for more than 2 hours, I start to get shaky, and irritable. It goes away right went I eat. It’s very annoying.
Anyway, my new diet is below, could you guys comment on it? Does it look like I’m on the right track for cutting? I have recently cut out all bread (I was eating wheat before) and fruit….is that good or not necessary? Pls help me see my abs!!!
Breakfast: Kashi Go Lean with skim milk along with 4 eggs (3 whites, 1 yolk) and coffee
Snack: Brown rice and yogurt smoothie (no sugar in this brand – high protein)
Lunch: Salad made up of lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, a few baby carrots, celery, 2 hard boiled eggwhites, topped with a tblspn of sunflower seeds and 2 tblsns of olive oil. Along with this – a small can of albacore tuna
Snack: Oatmeal with whey protein powder mixed in
Snack: 1% cottage cheese
Dinner: Chicken, lean beef or fish, or turkey breast along with veggies (low gi)
Workout 8PM
Right afterwards – Whey Protein shake
10 mins later – ˝ cup of brown rice or cottage cheese (which would be better to go to bed on)
The nutrient breakdown: 2721 cals, 64g of fat, 350g of carb, 210 of protein. I calc. that my BMR is 3200 (assuming a moderate level of activity) so 2700 should help me lose 1 pound per week.
I have 1-2 cheat meals per week, and drink about 4-5 glasses of red wine. Be honest and tell me if you think this is compromising my progress.
Workout wise – 3 day split of weights with 3 days at least of some form of cardio (running, biking, hiking) When it gets lighter in the morning soon, I am going to bike ˝ an hour right when I get up at least 3 times / week along with the above….
Any help, comments would be appreciated! Also, on off days, what should I removed from my diet?
Thank you so much :cool:
