Breakfast:Eggs w/ 2 pieces of toast
*workout*
Right after I drop the weights pick up a protein bar
around noon I eat lunch and usually consume some type of meat like ham/grilled bacon/that sort of food. If I do happen to have red meat I usually use the foreman grill.
For my afternoon snack I make a protein drink mixed w/ milk and peanut butter.
Then around 5-6 I eat my dinner *varies but nothing bad usually like spaghetti with a little meat or no meat or sometimes grilled chicken.
Around 8pm for my last snack/food of the evening I eat a banana.
With each meal and snack I usually drink about 12-16oz of water.
Your comments?

oatmeal at breakfast would do you one better. And 1 egg, many whites.
A Post-workout protein shake may be easier for your system to absorb than a bar.
Ham and bacon have a lot of nitrates nad fat, switch to chicken, fish or turkey, or 93-97% lean beef, and add some vegetables.
The shake w/milk and PB is good,
Dinner, spaghetti, a small portion, grilled chicken or beef, vegetables.
Banana would be better earlier in the day, before you go to bed have some milk or cottage cheese (look up my post 'Protein Primer' in the nutrition section).

So something like this?
Breakfast:Oatmeal with 1 egg and 1 piece of toast
Snack (post workout)-Protein Shake/Banana
Lunch-Grilled chicken or some type of meat as long as it is lean
Snack:Some fruit like an apple/peach or some vegetables or something like a yogurt
Dinner:Same as lunch pretty much
Also I know it's so cliche but how is the foreman grill anyone know? Each time I make me meat on their their is a ton of grease so im assuming it does a pretty good job possibly?

Everyone i know that has foreman grill loves it.
Add a feww extra egg whites to the braekfast. Have some vegetables and rice with the chicken at lunch.
Carbs are not your enemy, you need them for energy and to build muscle with the protein.
Try it all for a while and see how it goes.
Good Luck!

Similar Question:
Breakfast: Smoothie (fat free yogurt w/ 100% fruit juice) or oatmeal (needs to be quick)
Am Snack: Apple w/ cheese or some fruit
Lunch: Sandwich on rye bread (turkey/roast beef cheese & miracle whip {better than mayo}, some low-fat dessert (jello; cookies- need something sweet)
PM Snack: protein bar or fruit
By this point its 5:30 and I am off to work out
Dinner (usually late 7:30/8) Something healthy; soy burger, eggs, chicken.
I am trying to lose fat and tone up; I work out 6 days a week (lifting 3, cardio 3).
I have also just starting taking hydroxycut....
What am I doing wrong, I am not seeing any results???

It takes time to see results.
Try replacing your smoothie with a whey protein shake like myoplex lite - lots of flavors to choose from, I am sure you can find one you like. Less sugar and better quality protein.
Add a hard boiled egg and some egg whites to your AM snack
try a chicken breast (grilled in advance) over lots of mixed greens and an olive oil vinagraitte for lunch, maybe the rye bread is too many carbs of the starchy variety. Or have an openface sandwich on one slice of bread and a serving of fruit or vegetables with it. The cookies and jello (do you do the sugar free jello? That is okay) should be a once a week treat. if you need something sweet have a small hard candy or a diet soda.
The PM snack is better a protein bar, keep fruits earlier in your day. But make sure your protein bar is really not a disguised candy bar - ofetn we think bars like luna and pria and krave are healthy when they are really dressed up candy. Get a lowcrab EAS or Nitro-tech bars, again, there are lots of diferent types and flavors, try some and find one you like. Or you could do another shake here.
Dinner - you are good, lean protein, have some veggies.
Getting enough fiber is important. Supplementing with calcium if you aren't getting enough is important. A lot of water throughout the day is important.
It takes time for your body to trust that what you are doing isn't a fluke, that it can let go of stored bodyfat. Stay with it and focus on all of the health benefits you will get from exercising and eating right, enjoy the process, focus on being a healthier, happier person. The weight will come off, it just takes time.

Thanks for your help!
I have actually tried those shakes and don't really like them.
My only concern is that I will feel hungry w/o having the carbs for lunch, but I am going to try your suggestions!
(I use the Myoplex Carb Sense bars as my pm snack, they are good right?)
Also, since I am in an office sitting all day, is there a better time to eat certain foods, (i.e. protein in am, carbs later on in the afternoon)
