Can you give me a bit of advice on my diet plan chillen.
This is what I was thinking and it will be hard with me being at college some days from 9 till 4.30:
Breakfast:
A banana, Frozen berries, 1 cup of yoghurt, 1 cup of cottage cheese blended into a shake. / OR Egg whites / OR Bananas on there own/ Youghurt/ With a glass of Milk or Juice
Snack 1:
Turkey Breast, Chicken, Tuna or Shrimp sandwiches on wholemeal bread. / OR Sunflower Seeds.
(Will have to take a packed lunch as college refectory is full of junk food.
Lunch:
Baked Potato with Beans/Tuna (My first choice)/ OR Pasta Salad with Fruit/ OR Lean chicken breast (If its available)
Snack 2:
Brown rice with lean meat or fish with yam or veggies/ OR Oatmeal pancakes
Dinner:
Another Shake or some whey protein if I can afford to buy some, and anything thats easy on carbs.
Tell me what you think please mate!

What caloric target are you shooting for? What is your MT Line? Where are you placing your deficit range at? (I thnk you decided at -500c, correct?)
I dont have a problem with the number of meals (about 5 meals) but do have exception with the absence of good fats, and where these meals take place in conjunction with your training. (im thinking pre and post workout meals). You have the right mental idea on the types of food to eat. opt to try to get at least .8 grams per your body weight in protein.
If a protein item is hard to get, whey powder can take its place. Ensure good complex carbs during the day. What is obviously lacking to me, is good fats. Add in some nuts, Natural peanut butter (be careful-this stuff is killer good, but calorie dense-meaning it takes a small amount for a lot of calories, and in the caloric sense can kill a diet quick--but DO EAT IT, good source of fats), and/or flax oil supplement.
If options get very limited and you have only a choice between a small amount of protein, complex carbs or simple sugars, opt for the protein item and complex carbs (Nothing wrong with simple carbs (like you are doing in the AM), but if you get limited during the day, I believe it the better choice).
With Dinner dont be too concerned on the carbs, opt for complex carbs at this time with your protein and add a good fat item in there, whats more important is your caloric equation for the day.

Thanks chillen, erm my MT line with deficit deducted is 2299kcal. So I'm aiming at about 460kcal per meal.
Can you try and refine it a bit for me please chillen? With college i'm reduced to sandwiches or seeds/nuts for my 1st snack, At lunch i'm also limited on certain day to eating in town.
Thanks again!
