Help with diet.....

[EQLgearstud]

Dieting is the hardest part for me. I've got training down pack(i've had 2 people quit working out with me because i train too hard , i like to keep count ).

here's is what my typical day looks now:

Meal 1: 5:30 A.M.
You basic kid's cereal with whole milk. Usually it is about 2 servings worth.

Meal 2: 10:30 A.M.
PB & J Sandwitch, chips, sometime fruit snacks.

Meal 3: 2:30 P.M.
8oz. Grilled Chicken Breast

Meal 4: 4:00 P.M.
Sandwich or something consisting of carbs

Meal 5: 5:30 P.M.
Protein shake 50g of protein

Meal 6: 6:30 PM
8oz Chicken or steak (whatever mom cooks)
Veggies





Usually i drink about 1 gallon of water/day. As you can see my diet is terrible, but it's hard because i'm still in highschool and i can't think of what to bring to school for lunch.

Thanx for your help~

In the morning you should try to get some protein with breakfast.
Like eggs, yogurt.

Instead of a p&b sandwich try turkey breast.
Try to up the meat from 8oz to 12oz.

And have another shake at around 8:30 or 9 with no carbs.

You are timing your meals perfectly, you just have to find ways to increase your protein. It seems like your first two meals are where you are lacking protein. Those should be your biggest meals of the day so add protein to it.

now comes the hardest part, sticking to it! Thanx for your help~

btw, i'm looking to try to cut. Is this the diet for me?

I thin you have more than 150 g of carbs, and more than 20g of fat. Try putting 1/2 your carbs post workout, in the form of malodextrin, or dextrose. Also, you need more fat!! When carbs get burned up, your body needs a source of energy, so i would up it to around 75g of good fats per day, Natty PB, Flax, Olive Oil, Avocados, and canola oil.

BTW,
wtf are you doing a huge cycle like that while still in HS?
