Please Critique my Diet!

Two and a half weeks ago, I was 233.5 lbs. I was (and still am - ha!) 6'2". I didn't work out at all, or drink water. We would eat about 5 fast food / restaurant meals a week and I had no restraint whatsoever with what I ate. If I was hungry, I would eat. If bored, I would eat.

NOW - I am 229 (can't believe it is taking SO MUCH to get into the 220's!!!!), I have about 6 meals, and I work out ... odd days 30 mins on the elyptical, even days 15 minutes of weight training and every day about 170 situps (various kinds). I also drink about 1.5-2 gallons of water a day.

Here is my daily routine - I am doing MUCH better than I was, but what the heck is it going to take to get these love handles and belly off?!?

Breakfast 1 (8am) - 30g chocolate whey protien in 6-8 oz of skim milk, redline concentrate, 2 megamen vitamins, toast and a banana. Toast is whole grain with "I can't believe its not butter"

Breakfast 2 (10 or 10:30 am) - leftover mac n cheese (skim milk & fat free butter) or 3 eggs with 1 yolk or toast ... something like that.

Lunch 1 (12 or 12:30) - mac and cheese as above, or chicken (not fried) or fish like catfish or flounder (2 fillets)

Lunch 2 (3pm ish) - slim fast meal on the go bar and maybe fat free yogurt or something with redline concentrate

Dinner 1 (6 or 7) - whatever the wife makes ... either spaghetti or noodle casserole or chicken / veggies - it is different each time, but never really ever fattening.

Dinner 2 (9 or 10 .. post workout) - 30g of chocolate whey protein with 6-8oz of skim milk and maybe a banana.

That is it! What is your advice?

I've found that a full body workout 3x a week has helped me a lot. Also, it looks like you're doing wayyy too many situps at the expense of other muscles in your body. (Would you do 170 bicep curls?).

As for diet, it looks like you have a lot of milk in there - switch to water instead. Also look for natural, whole foods, especially for breakfast, and cut out the mac and cheese. Replace it with something like fat free cottage cheese and almonds.

I hope you do sit-up because you really love them

Your drinking water thats good....

I am jsut looking at this quick because I am leaving for work but... it looks like your diet is about 99% carbs lol (joke) waaayyyy to much carbs man. NOT ENOUGH PROTIEN.

You should thank your wife when she makes chicken/veggies because thats your only good meal.

Start from scratch - Each meal needs a protein and a veggie, small carb meals before and after workouts.

Your workout needs help now that I think of it...
