have to admit, didn't read it b/c food choices aren't as impt - what are the cals and macro's, what's your maintenance, and what's your goal? have you seen the sticky on calculating cals and macro's?

Food choices aren't important?! WHAT?! The food choices made in my meal plan are all based on the macros required for my bodyweight. The objective is to eat clean and provided I am eating the correct portions of lean protein and complex carbs my macros should be reached naturally.

I wanted feed back on if I am missing anything etc...?

Yes, you are missing an orange pepper, redo! ;) Joking... not really. Yes, calories and your real weight (I assume 5'4 is correct?) is needed along with activity levels in order for anyone to tell you if this plan is good for you or not. If you are really 1000lbs... then I suggest more than 1 tsp of olive oil :)

so what are those cals and macro's? and yeah, what are your stats? and my other comments/questions still stand.

Move your brown rice into M2 or M3 or earlier, take it out of the evening meal. Quinoa to me counts as a carb, not a good protein source, so there are a few nights you have M5, your last meal as high carb going to bed....

Carrots are higher in sugar for the evening meals with balsamic vinegar. I would opt for some good cooked broccoli in there instead, maybe with some Franks hot sauce on it.

Go with green pepper in there, green veggies are good. Cucumber is good for fibre, so you may want to put that in your last meal of the day too...

[oregonchick76]

How many calories is that per day? How many grams of carbs/proteins/fats?
What are your goals? Fat loss? Muscle gain? What does your exercise routine look like?

What specifically are you looking for here?

not necessary. e.g., carbs are fine at any time.

not necessary. e.g., carbs are fine at any time. ditto this and everything else andrerox says. It doesn't matter if you're 'eating clean' or not if your cals are too high (or even too low...)...

I tighten up just fine eating pizza and chocolate lol. I just make sure my calories are set properly and that I'm getting all the nutrients I need.
