My cutting diet, Please Evaluate.

Hello,

i started my cut diet already and its my 5th day today. I feel good throughtout the day, I have energy to go through with this. so Please critque it, Here it is:

Breakfast:
2 eggs
1/2 cup oatmeal
glass of milk
sometimes an apple

Snack:
1 fish fillet
1 egg
1 oz nuts

lunch:
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 cups of petite peas
8 oz chicken

after workout:
protein powder and sometimes a banana

Meal After workout:
3 oz chicken
1 carrot bag
1 can of tuna

Before dinner: 1 protein drink


Dinner:
Rice and some kind of meat, dont really have control over it

Before bed:
cottage cheese


So this is all the food that i eat. This ADDS up to 2200 calories. My maintenance calories based on calculators is around 2554 calories so i have decreased it 350 calories.

I want to lose a pound a week, and i have lacrosse practice after school which is 2 hrs long and running is involved so that burns calories , i dont know how much. ANd weight lifting also in there.

So altogether im thinking altogether i have a decrease of 500 calories or more.

Im planning to drop the 1 egg on the SNACK, if you guys say its ok. I want to get to 2000 calories so i know im burning enough. Please help me and let me know whats wrong with this diet and what i need to change.

I can add more info if needed.
Thanks

Hello,

i started my cut diet already and its my 5th day today. I feel good throughtout the day, I have energy to go through with this. so Please critque it, Here it is:

Breakfast:
2 eggs (either more egg whites, or have some other type of protein here, a whey shake maybe)
1/2 cup oatmeal
glass of milk (I would take out the milk)
sometimes an apple

Snack:
1 fish fillet (as in fried? no good, if so.
1 egg
1 oz nuts (unsalted walnuts or almonds are the best)

lunch:
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 cups of petite peas
8 oz chicken ....(looks good for pre workout)

after workout:
protein powder and sometimes a banana (definitely need some fast acting simple carbs, dextrose would be good, maltodextrin too, if not, regular juice would be a last resort if you must, dex is easily found online, and at most non-franchise supplement stores)

Meal After workout:
3 oz chicken
1 carrot bag
1 can of tuna (need complex carbs here, it's your post post workout meal, oatmeal, brown rice, whoel wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, etc.)

Before dinner: 1 protein drink (could add some good fats here)


Dinner:
Rice and some kind of meat, dont really have control over it (I would look into cutting out the complex and starchier carbs here, a lean protein/fibrous carb (veggies) meal would be good.

Before bed:
cottage cheese (good, get more good fats here too though)

read parentheses.
good start figuring out your calories, now look into the macro breakdown of fats, protein, carbs, etc...
 
hey thanks AJP you helped me alot.

For the fish fillet, my mom just puts it on a pan with a little vegetable oil and it tastes good. So i guess thats frying it but if thats the case should i remove it altogether.

Ill get rid of milk and add a protein drink.
i eat unsalted almonds not just nuts.

I will add 1/2 cup oatmeal for my post post workout.

The dinner i really dont have much control over, I like to have some rice there because it gives me energy for the next day. I have to play lacrosse and i cant cut out all the carbs but i did cut alot. I do have meat then with veggies.

As for after workout protein shake ill try to find dextrose.

Thanks please let me know about the new suggestions.
Thanks

Ah ok. For some reason I assumed the fish fillet was a fast food thing, I really don't know why I assumed that though. Olive oil would be better, or pam, but it's not too bad the way you have it. You would already have a good amount of carbs without whatever carbs youre having at dinner. With oatmeal at three other meals, that's a good amount, and the pwo shake. But maybe you can work on that later on.

I would also look into having more carbs on workout days than non workout days. I don't know what you're schedule is like, but if you have days with much less physical activity you don't need as many carbs on those days.
 
I haven't every heard of using OJ instead of cooking oil. There are lots of different types of oils, the most common are vegetable (generally canola) and olive oil. The biggest nutritional difference is in the fats. From a cooking perspective, the biggest difference is the smoke point (the temp that the oil starts to smoke). Smoke = bad. Anyway, OJ, like any other "marinade" is tricky to cook with. The problem is the sugar. Sugars burn. Burning causes smoke. Smoke = bad. I'm not saying it can't be done, but, the method you would have to use (a low simmer to make a reduction sauce) isn't the same method you would use with any type of oils, so, more than likely, the OJ isn't going to work the way you are envisioning it.
