Advice about my diet

[Aleisha87]

Hey there,

I have been going to gym for years with little results as I never changed my diet...as of last week I have started a diet to lose weight and bf and was wondering if the diet I'm on at the moment is ok? I am 167cm and weigh 68kgs.

Meal 1: 1/4 cup Oats with 2tsps of crushed pineapple and I scoop of protein powder or 2 slices of vogels with 2eggs and 1 egg white plus 1 small tomato

Meal 2: 1/4 cup of almonds or 2 rice thinz with peanut butter

Meal 3: chicken salad with 1tbsp of flaxseed oil or vogels sandwich with chicken, avo and salad

Meal 4: 8oz protein shake or protein bar

Meal 5: 200g chicken breast with steamed veges (broccoli, beans)

Meal 6: low fat yoghurt with 1 scoop of protein and 2 tsps of crushed pineapple

Would appreciate critique or help or any advice, my goal is to get to 60kgs in 12 weeks, I do 1 hour cardio before breakfast (5-6 days a week) and weights 5-6 nights a week)

Well done thats a pretty good diet imo.

Just in my opinion I would move your carbs (the oats and vogels) from the morning to after your workout (in your dinner meal that was chicken salad) and take out the pineapple from before bed.

The same with meal 2 and 4 - if you're going to have the rice thins then I'd personally have them in meal 4 as its closer around when you're doing your weights workout.

Overall I'd possibly try n bump protein up a tiny bit or keep it the same n drop carbs and/or fats a bit overall and increase your cardio if you are looking to lose more weight.

(Inb4 everyone starts hating on my carb meal timing approach its just an approach )

Goodluck!

":12vzx8zk]the diet looks pretty good in terms of what's there..no idea if the quantities are good for you (not saying they aren't though)

did you research and make this diet up yourself or did you pay someone to make it?

Someone did it for me...(in sayin that they arent no nutrionist just know people in the body building biz and is a PT)....how would I know if the quantities are enough? I am very much an amateur when it comes to this?

Use the calorie calculator here http://www.nzbodybuilding.co.nz/content.php?id=186

Then work out how many calories you eat a day in your diet - work this out on one of the many websites wuth calorie values for foods

For weight loss you will keep off a good number to aim for is a 10-20% deficit

e.g maintanance calories 3000

So for weight loss you would eat 2400-2700
