What's available to you?

You need to eat lean meats, fresh vegetables, and complex carbs for every meal.

Here's an example of a good meal:

Grilled Chicken the size of your open palm, 1 cup of Brown whole grain rice, 1 cup of fresh steamed or broiled veggies.

What's available to you? Good luck, god bless and come home safely.
 
It is important to understand that to lose fat, you have to burn more calories than you eat.

According to various calorie/fitness calculators, someone of your age, height and weight should consume somewhere between 2300 and 2500 calories a day for fat loss if working out regularly as well.

I have a simple plan I am following, 6 meals a day:
breakfast:
oatmeal mixed with milk and 1/2 serving protein shake. If you don't have a protein shake, you need another source of protein (egg or tuna is good)
snack: almonds, or an apple or such
lunch: tuna sandwich/tuna salad, salmon and salad or such (protein important)
snack: almonds, or an apple or such
dinner: like Tmoneyag said, chicken & brown/whole grain rice or salad is great)
snack: almonds, cottage cheese or such

Serving sizes you will have to figure out.

Within half an hour after finishing a workout, I eat a banana and a protein shake. Post workout meal is quite important. If you don't have protein shake, some other form of protein will do (chicken or tuna)

While on a fat loss diet consuming enough protein is important. Many say you should consume approx 1 gram protein for every pound of body weight, meaning you should consume about 175 grams of protein daily. This prevents losing a lot of muscle while losing weight/fat.

Hope this helps :)

I'm not sure about this as I never been to an army before, but do they have that much time to prepare those food? And are they the one who prepare their own food or is it already been fixed?
 
Meal supplement

Hi,

I use a meal re-placement once or twice a day. Its a well balanced meal that provides an ideal balance of nutrition,different types of protein and a fiber blend that works two ways for long lasting energy that wont leave you hungry. I would be honored to send you some to try if you could provide an address for me. Thank you for defending our country, Ian
