I work from 10-6, 5 days a week.. I just started my summer job and am not sure how to eat this way... I am currently cutting. I run or do aerobic in the morning, then do weight lifting around 6:30..I dont know how to get my timing right on my meals.. My parents make dinner late at like 7:15-7:30 and i eat carbs then..

Aerobic

Bfast-(9:15-9:30)
1/2 C of Oatmeal w/ skim milk
1 egg, some egg whites mixed together

Snack(11:30-12:15)
1 Scoop of Whey w/ water
1 Serving of cashews
Some carrots

Lunch(2:30-3:30)
Big Salad w/ Spinach leaves and Lettuce w/ veggies and either tuna/chicken breast and lunch meat

Pre-Workout(5:15-5:30)
1 Scoop of Whey
1 Apple

LIFT

PWO-(7:15)
1 Scoop of whey and a banana

Dinner(7:45)
Some kind of meat w/ rice or noodles and veggies( I usually dont eat a lot of carbs here

Snack(10:30-11:30)
Cottage cheese

I dont know if this is spaced out properly or not...Should I take some protein before my aerobic workout in the morning??

I'm not keen on diet critiques, but at first glance, the PWO meal (whey+banana) will probably still be sitting in your stomach once you have dinner. I would say just wait for dinner- your pre-WO meal should be fine.

I am working the same hours on my summer job and here's what I'm doing:

0700: whey shake
workout - 0730-0930
0945: whey shake with banana
1230: lunch (deli sand w/ apple and salad)
1500: snack (banan and raw veggies)
1800: dinner (lean meat, carbs, veggies/salad)
2100: whey shake

It seems to be working out great thus far.
