A newb that needs some guidance...

I took your diet and Im modifying it slightly... see what you think.
I'm rotating carbs every other meal since I think I need less calories cause I'm only 170lbs vs your 200+.

On non gym days I would probably cut one of the sources of protein and cut the carbs down more or either take them out.


2/3 cup (dry measurment) oatmeal
protein shake

5 oz chicken breast or 7 oz tuna
¾ cup of broccoli

ISO whey shake (this would be PWO on gym days)
3/4 cup cooked rice or 5.5 oz potato
5 oz chicken breast or 5.5 oz turkey breast or 7 oz tuna 245
7 oz cauliflower 60 or brocolli

6 egg whites
7 oz cauliflower 60 or brocolli

1/2 cup cooked rice or 4 oz potato
protein shake
6 oz carrot or 6 cup salad ( vinegar + brown sugar twin) 60

4 oz chicken breast or 5.5 oz tuna or 11 egg whites 196
1/3 cup corn or 2/3 cup mixed veggies or 1/2 cup peas 60
(or 7 1/2 cup air popped corn in stead of rice and veg)

Any thoughts?

Looks alright, I just won't have any protein shakes. I know it's easier, but not as effective.
