This is my first post real post. I have learned much but have more to learn... this is basically what I am eating on a daily basis. The only thing that really changes is the evening meal (7pm). One of the reasons for this is that I am in class from 6pm-9pm two nights per week and I cannot take 'better' food with me to class.

This is menu is a typical and dinner is typical for my school nights.

Here is a sample of my day's food:
7:00 AM Premier 1 Protein Bar, Double Chocolate Crunch
7:00 AM 24oz Water
8:30 AM 8 Oz Black Coffee - CoffeeMate Creamer, Irish Crème - Splenda
10:30 AM 1/2 cup of Quaker Oatmeal with water - Splenda
24oz Water
11:30 AM Cottage Cheese, Lowfat, Fred Meyer, 1/2 Cup
Carrots, baby 1 Cup
1:30 PM 12oz Diet Coke
24oz Water
3:15 PM Banana, Large (sometimes an apple)
100% Whole Wheat Bread, Orowheat, 1 slice
Turkey Breast, Overn Roasted, Foster Farms, 3 slices
Dijon Mustard (Fred Meyer), 1 Tsp
Romaine Lettuce, chopped 2 Cups
Mushrooms, chopped 1/2 cup
Grape Tomatoes, Kroger, 3oz
2 Tbsp Bernsteins Light Fantastic Cheese Fantastico!
24oz Water
5:30 PM 30g Whey Protein Supplement (Optimum Nutrition) w/ 1 Cup Water - 5g Glutamine Powder
7:00 PM 100% Whole Wheat Bread, Orowheat, 1 slice
Turkey Breast, Overn Roasted, Foster Farms, 3 slices
Dijon Mustard (Fred Meyer), 1 Tsp
Cottage Cheese, Lowfat, Fred Meyer, 1/2 Cup
8:00 PM Edamame (soy beans), uncooked from frozen 1/2 cup
24oz Water
10:35 PM Green Olives, 12 (I was feeling hungry during homework)

It adds up to about 1600+ cals, 33g fat, 172g carbs, 32g fiber, 144g protein.

At this point I am probably undereating or not getting enough vegetables, but most days I am not hungry with this layout of foods.

It looks light on cals....but maybe you're a small person?

Yeah thats about what I was thinking once I posted it. Nope not a smal person right now. I am pretty sure that the cals are light, but really I am not hungry during the day so it doesnt feel like I need to eat more. Previous to changing my diet to 5-6 meals I was eating around 2200-2300 cals/day but not being active.

Male
Cutting - need to lose fat
5ft6, ~241lbs, 30 yrs.
Weights 4 days per week for about an hour, maybe 1.5 hours.
Low/Mid weight at 12 reps -- till I get in the swing of lifting so I don't kill myself being sore and therefore not go workout.

day 1:
treadmill warmup 1/2 mile
Quad, Leg Extensions
Ham, Seated Leg Curl
Adductor
Legs, Seated Leg Press
Calfs, Seated Calf Press - I need to change to an ISO exercise because an ankle injury has my right calf smaller/weaker then the left.

day 2:
treadmill warmup 1 mile
Iso Lateral High Row
Vertical Traction machine
Lateral Pulldown
Iso Lateral Low Row
Seated Row
Standing DB Curl

day 3:
treadmill warmup 1.75 mile
Reverse Crunch
Crunch
Laying Leg Lift
Twist Crunch

day 4:
treadmill warmup 1 mile
Chest, Inclined Press
Delt, Shoulder Press
Chest, Straight Press
Delt, Shoulder Fly
Chest, Pec Fly
Tricep, Rope Extensions


This is just my starting workout. Once I get up to speed I will increase the cardio a bit more, include at least one more shoulder exercise and a couple more on the ab day.

Anyone?
