I'd just add some protein to your breakfast, but otherwise looks good to me. Tracking macros is what works best for me.

Example: I break it down like this - (calories/protein/carbs/fat)
7:45 am - beef - 305/54/0/9
bran - 70/2/24/1
10:25-natural food bar - 180/4/23/10
1:20 pm- Sushi - 180/5/33/3
4:30 - chicken + broccoli - 380/58/8/8
5:00 - 30 min LISS
6:30 - almonds and protein supp - 350/34/8/22
8:00 - Spinach & broccoli sprouts - dressing = 120/0/4/12
9:30 - PM protein - 190/40/2/2
Day's total - 2 gallons water + 1775/197/102/67
Ratios - 53/27/18

This system has been working like a charm for me. Not saying my diet is absolutely ideal, but it's working, and that's good enough for me for now.

What's the total calories for that? Looks a bit low to me, but it really is vague on potion sizes. At your weight, I'd be trying to get 2500 or so at the lowest.

Add some egg whites to breakfast and get rid of the fats from your PWO shake and exchange them for some carbs :) Looks good. But if you could say how many calories and grams of protein, carbs and fats you are eating, that would help more ;)

What vegetable sources are there in your diet? 1 cup of lettuce doesn't count for much.

No much in the way of carbs after your workout. Are you on a carb cycling plan, or are they low everyday?

I take it you like peanut butter. :)

Goonie,
I'm truly terrible at remembering to eat my vegetables. It's easily the worst area of my nutrition. The chief problem is that I lack cooking skill and have trouble cooking them and then the vegetables not tasting like cardboard after i bring them out of the fridge.

I have found from previous experiments that my body is extremely sensitive to carbohydrates, also Type II diabetes runs in my family. So i really do my best to limit them(carbs, not my family!), and I rarely eat more than 150g of them on non-cheat meal days, which makes me sad because I LOVE pizzas. :cry:

But you are right, I do like peanut butter :D.

Foley,
I have been toying with the thought of adding more protein to my breakfast, but unfortunately eggs are out. I just don't have time to cook them in the mornings. Reheated chicken though, may be a possibility.

Mannish,
I added all the stuff up on Fitday a couple months back and it popped out to be around 2400 Cals. I was thinking though with as much weight training/cardio as I am doing, this might be the reason I am seeing little scale change over the past few weeks. I am having overall positive results though, my muscles are more visible than when I started, but the scale just doesn't want to budge.:confused:

Double,
When I put this stuff in Fitday a while back it told me I was riding at around 40/30/30 P-C-F.
