Boy I wish I had a meal plan like yours, though I never really considered a protein shake an actual "meal".

not to hard to make one like mine, just copy it :)

cutting is no doubt one of the hardest diet's to get spot on. as far as i know it's pretty darn tight. great carb/fat seperation. most fats are with protein meals, etc.

protein shake with flax oil or nuts slows obsorption, aint to bed. but it is pretty hard to stick to more liquid type diets due to fillin factor.

but having a solid meal, followed by a liquid, than solid is fine.

i have to rely heavily on isolate protein because the only real protein sources i like are lean chicken breast, et all! the only other types are greasy hamburgers, hot dogs, peparoni.. i dislike all sea food, porks, steaks etc.

makes it somewhat hard, but still doable

Sounds like a great plan. Is that your diet everyday? How do you not get sick of it? How long will you be on it?

i wouldnt have an isolate protein early in the morning, i think a concentrate would be better, or even a form of casein protein would be better, seeing as your workout isnt untill later

also i reckon you could add alot more whole foods, and more variety

Seems like a little too much protein coming from isolate, but hey, if it works for you, go for it. Personally, shakes just don't feel me up.
