Thanks for that abear. Tell me how this diet sounds (I am currently 5'10.. 160 lbs with about 8-10% body fat). I am trying to stay lean but gain a few more lbs:
Breakfast (4-5 a.m.): 2 oatmeal packets, protein shake, and 15-20 grapes
440 calories= 29g of protein, 30g of carbs, 5g of fat.
Second Breakfast (7-8 a.m.): 2 oatmeal packets, 6 egg whites and 1 egg whole, 1 whole weat bread
575 calories= 32g of protein, 25g of carbs, 10g of fat
3rd meal (10 a.m.): Chicken breast (4 oz. only), 1 whole wheat bread, and 62 calories worth of carrots or a medium tomato.
340 calories= 28g of protein, 10g of carbs, 2g of fat
4th meal (1 p.m.): Turkey ground (4 oz. only), 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter, and 31 calories worth of carrots or a medium tomato.
310 calories= 29g of protein, 18g of carbs, 10g of fat
5th meal (3:30 p.m.): Cottage cheese 8 oz. worth, 31 calories worth of carrots or a medium tomato (or perhaps 1 cup worth of cucumber), 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp. flaxseed oil

6th meal (5:30-6:00 p.m.): Turkey ground (extra lean), and either carrots, a cucumber, or tomato (maybe add a protein shake here), flaxseed oil (1 tbsp only)
.
345 calories= 44g of protein, 10g of carbs, 9g of fat
TOTAL= 2410 calories.... 183g of protein, 114g of carbs, 53g of fat
52.5% Protein, 32.5% carbs, 15% fat
Any thoughts?
