Hey All,

As many of you know, nutrition is not my strong point. Anyway, I just moved to Chapel Hill NC, and I'm going to start a new regimen soon. I'm moving from a 4 day split to WSP for the summer, and i'd like some advice on my current diet.

Breakfast: 6:45-7 AM

1 cup Oatmeal, 1 Banana, 2 scoops generic whey protein. (I'd like to eat eggs here, but even using egg beaters i'd have to get up ridiculously early)

Mid-Morning Snack: 10:30-11 AM
1/2 bag Jack Links Beef Jerky (Lots of sodium here, but not really a concern due to cardio and lack of it in other areas), 3 Oz Almonds.

Lunch: 1:30-2 Pm
Turkey Sandwhich (1/2 lb deli turkey meat, 2 slices 100% Nature's Own Double Fiber 100% Wheat), 1 Orange.

Afternoon Snack: 4:45-5 PM (Pre-lift)
2 scoops generic whey protein, 3 oz almonds

Supper: 8 PM (Post Lift)
1 Frozen Chicken Breast (4-8 OZ depending on luck), 1/2 stalk Broccoli or 2 cups Salad Mix, 1 small sweet potato, 2 tablespoons light salad dressing (not too bad I promise)

Dinner: 11 PM
1/2 cup Egg Beater, 3 Oz Almonds,

I supplement with a Multi-Vitamin, CLA, and Flax Seed Oil (I'll be adding fish oil at dinner and at breakfast as soon as i get my first pay check:D)

OH! And i'm 223 lbs, 6'0, with a waist of about 36 inches and a Bf% of around 16-17.

Cardio won't be added until the 3rd week of WSP, so i'm doing it a slight bit different than it was written.

I dunno, I don't think it's too shaby, more importantly it's something I can stick too for a long period of time. Also i'm one of those that has better luck cutting with lower carbs, so bear that in mind as well. I'd love some comments...:tu:

Actually I think is pretty good. I would add some carbs to the pre lift snack though.
Do you know the total calories and macronutrients ?

I honestly have no clue, I actually went through all the trouble to calculate it up for a diet similar to this, but that didn't have any beef jerky and it had more starches in the carb department. I'd guess it's still somewhere around 2400 but I can't be absolutely sure. I'm gonna see how my body reacts and just adapt to that reaction increasing or decreasing the amount of food.:tucool:

As for carbs to the prelift I'd def. like to add some, but its hard to smuggle those bastards into work since most of the complex ones are things like rice or whatnot. I'm thinking about maybe adding like a clif bar or something here, i haven't decided yet.

As a balance between whey and egg beaters in the morning, you might want to consider a slower digesting protein powder like casein.
