[kris81]

3:30am: wake up

4am: Toasted whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter
1 Tangerine
1 Banana
1 Lipton Diet Grean Tea (Cold)

6am:
1 Fibre1 Breakfast Bar (http://www.fiberone.com/product/bars.aspx)
3 Tangerines
1 Banana

7-8am (varies in this time when i eat next)
1 Nature Valley Bar (http://caloriecount.about.com/calories- ... uit-i83909)

7:30-8:30am: Workout (varies start time because of previous work schedule)


Post workout (9:30-10:30 aprox. in there)
1 Cup Meat Tortaleni (or some kind of pasta)
1 Piece Chicken Breast
1 Serving Mixed Veretables

12pm Snack
2 Caloriewise Yogurts, Carrot Sticks/Celery

2pm Snack: Rice Cake Chips or Popcorn

4pm: Dinner (chicken or pasta)

7pm: Bed


I know i should get a before dinner snack in there, and i know i shouldn't eat pasta that late, but that's usually the hardest thing i have to do. What does everyone think of diet? FYI I'm about 210, looking to just get myself in better shape. I have a bit of a beer gut, toothpick arms & i'm 6FT 2inches tall.


benefit is i can force myself to eat food, and don't really worry about the taste (except tomatos & cabbage i refuse to eat that) so i can pretty much eat anything i have to. downfall is an addiction to potato chip like snacks, thus munching on rice cake chips!

3:30am: wake up

4am: Toasted whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter
1 Tangerine
1 Banana
1 Lipton Diet Grean Tea (Cold)

(I wouldn't have that much Fruit. I'd go for something like the Tangerine, give it 10-15 minutes to digest, then eat the rest of the meal. The meal is a bit low protein, so perhaps have something like some Egg White and a Yolk, or Lean Ham, perhaps a bit of Chicken, Turkey etc etc.)

6am:
1 Fibre1 Breakfast Bar (http://www.fiberone.com/product/bars.aspx)
3 Tangerines
1 Banana

(Low Protein again. The Carbs are all out of kilter. I'd go for a small Banana here for Fruit variety, same spacing as at breakfast, and need more Protein, and possibly other Carb sources like Yoghurt, Peanuts, Cashews, Low Fat Cheese, making sure to remember they are all pretty good Protein sources too, except the Cashews, so factor that in, and perhaps look at other things like Chicken, Turkey Ham etc etc for Protein too.)

7-8am (varies in this time when i eat next)
1 Nature Valley Bar (http://caloriecount.about.com/calories- ... uit-i83909)

(Fruit won't digest too well. I'd go for something else here instead, like a Plain Cereal Bar instead. Oat based or something like that)

7:30-8:30am: Workout (varies start time because of previous work schedule)


Post workout (9:30-10:30 aprox. in there)
1 Cup Meat Tortaleni (or some kind of pasta)
1 Piece Chicken Breast
1 Serving Mixed Veretables

(Looks fine)

12pm Snack
2 Caloriewise Yogurts, Carrot Sticks/Celery

(Seems okay, but I'd look for other things to add like Low Fat Cheese Nuts, Peanuts etc etc, so you're not limiting.)

2pm Snack: Rice Cake Chips or Popcorn

(Better with a Rice Cake, than the other two.)

4pm: Dinner (chicken or pasta)

(Contradictory choices. One is Protein packed, one is Carb packed. Could keep some chicken, bit of Pasta just limit it, maybe add something else complimentary, like a bit of Mushroom or Ham perhaps, and maybe consider other choices, like Turkey Beef, Veggies, Rice etc etc as alternatives.)

7pm: Bed


I know i should get a before dinner snack in there, and i know i shouldn't eat pasta that late, but that's usually the hardest thing i have to do. What does everyone think of diet?

(Don't sweat about the Pasta, it's about portion size not necessarily timing. Pasta is fine, but as said, I'd consider limiting, and perhaps add another or more than one other Carb source, but don't have Protein or Carbs for dinner, have both.)

I'd get rid of the bars your eating there full of sugar.
