I think this would make an interesting thread for beginners and experts alike. Basically if you are following a "regimental" diet, then post it for the rest of us to see. It doesn?t have to be a full week's worth of information, even one day would suffice.

Obviously some people's diets will differ from others depending on what they want to achieve, nonetheless I think it will give each and every one of us a good insight.

My diet is terrible at the moment. I?m out of the gym for the last month and my daily food intake looks like this:

Breakfast 7:30am 1 x banana

Work Break 10:30 1 x slice cooked ham
1 x slice roast turkey
1 x mandarin

Lunch 1:00 Same as above.

Dinner (anytime between 6 and 8:00pm)
Large protein based meal (steak, chicken, turkey, Salmon or Tuna steak)
OR
Large Carbohydrate based meal (fresh pasta, pizza or some sort of takeaway)

I have nothing after dinner.

Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to go back to the gym and maybe this thread will help me get off this ridiculous diet.

Post away!!

6am - protein shake (2 scoops), 2 cups skim milk, .25 c cottage cheese, .25 c fruit

9am - 1c oats, 2 tbsp natural pb

noon - lunch (8oz chicken or some other meat and veggies usually)

3pm - .25-.3 c walnuts or equivelant natural pb, sometimes something bad like a scone

6pm - protein shake (2 scoops)

8pm (10pm on class days) - dinner (8oz or so meat, maybe some rice, vegetables)

11pm - 2 c milk or some cottage cheese

That's a normal good day. Not being in class 3 days a week and working 50-60 hours and not planning correctly forces me to eat crappy meals sometimes.

You have 5 protein shakes in a day? I'm not saying my diet is perfect but I think you could use some more real food.

Try it, you might like it or just vomit!

Slice the banana like a carrot, and add it to some sour cream, most who eat this sprinkle a little sugar on to it but I don't.

In case you are wondering, I didn't make it up, it actually was eaten by many in Europe generations ago, a cheap way to have a light lunch but still get nourished. There are some other interesting combos as well, like Buck wheat and pasta bows with a little chicken broth (to moisten) and fried onions. Good and healthy. (also known as kasha and bows):big_smile:

Hi

I have been on and off this site over a year now and it has helped me a lot.

So firstly thanks to everyone that helps maintain this site

I made a mistake by taking too little calories and starving myself and I recently put weight back on.
I weigh 220 pounds and I have 6ft tall

I came up with the following diet plan for fat loss, which I need assessing, so would be grateful if someone had a look and gave me a thumbs up.

These are rough estimates:

MEAL ONE (8:30am)

Bowl of Kellogs Cereal (150 Kca)
Slice of Toast (100Kca)
Boild Egg (100Kca)

Total: 350 KCa

MEAL TWO (11:30am)

Protein Shake (120 Kca)
Fruit (100Kca)

Total: 220 (Kca)

MEAL THREE (2:30pm)

Tuna/Chicken Sandwich (250-300KCa)
Yoghurt (120 Kca)

Total: 350 (Kca)

MEAL FOUR (5:30pm)

Chicken breast (150 Kca)
Vegetables (half cup 60 Kca)
4 Wallnuts (100 Kca)

Total: 310 Kca)

MEAL FIVE (8:30pm)

Fish Fillets x 2 (200Kca)
Kidney Beans (120 Kca)

Total: 320 Kca

MEAL SIX (11:30pm)

Protein Shake (120 kca)

Total: 120 Kca

Grand Total:1670 Kca

Is that ok? Or do I need to increase my calorie intake and maybe intake? Where would I fit the extra calories in without feeling too full and bloated?

What are you trying to do exatly? If you're attempting to do anything except lose weight then you are taking in WAY too few calories.

Eat something heavier than a bowl of cereal for breakfast. More eggs or something. Meal two add in a tablespoon of peanut butter. For meal four pour some olive oil on your vegetables, and eat more walnuts. Meal six, mix your protein shake with some milk instead of water. That right there would add a good 500 more calories easy.

I really appreciate your input ecle. Been having issues with trying to hit the right spot with nutrition (especially after making a two month workout and not seeing much results because of my calorie deficit)

My main goal is to lose fat and move down to about 175 pounds in weight.

I know weight is not everything and the way my body feels and the way clothes fit is more important.

But I would like to get this correct after getting enough confidence back to try again.

Does it matter if a meal is missed by about an hour and a half or two hours?

If so, do you adjust your eating plan for that day?

Hey, my eating habits are horrible and I don't know what to shop for. I am 5'6 and I weigh 154 I am trying to lose 10 pounds and I think I have the working out part down but I need help with the nutrition. Are protein shakes good for females who are looking to lose weight and not bulk up?
