Hi everyone, my first post here. Been studying and reading everyone elses posts and thought I would ask for some advice. I am 22, roughly 5ft.7 and I currently weigh 72kg/158lbs. My goal is to lose fat and keep as much muscle on as possible (I have been on-off weight lifting for the past few years, nothing too serious though).
I have a very hectic schedule, DJ in the night, student in the day, so I'm finding it very difficult to get in meals on time and to get the correct food in. I don't really have a problem with trying to eat less (I'm never hungry) but to find the time to eat more. Please review a sample meal-plan I've put together and give me your feedback!
WAKE (Approx 11am)
Mitotropin
Meal 1 (Approx 12 midday)

Rough numbers - 1547.5 calories / 168 protein / 181g carbs / 24.61 fats
I've found an estimate maintenance level at 2370 by using bodyweight x 15. 2370 - 500 = 1870 which is my target. This brings me onto my next question, what other small snacks do you recommend that I can boost my intake with? I can't really add another meal as it's a real big struggle to get even this amount in.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Rob.
