You aren't getting enough protein and carbs if you're drinking just a glass of milk pre-workout. If you must stick to 2200 calories, try limiting the portion sizes elsewhere to add more nutrients pre-workout. I eat 2400 calories on a cutting diet, and get in 6 meals a day, with about 30 grams of protein and 50 grams of carbs preworkout, so it's more than doable for you, too.

Other than that, you're diet is clean as hell. And to answer your question, some nuts or natty PB would be a good idea.

Are you doing cardio?

If your lunch consists of four chicken breasts like you say, you may want to spread those out over the day and eat between meals. Eating every 3 hours or so helps speed up your metabolism, which in turn helps you burn more fat.

Other than that, you may want to add some whey to your pre workout shake.

Holy crap, you're 16 years old! 2200 calories is probably really low for you if you're a guy. You should have tons of energy, a well-operating metabolism, and probably get a lot of unintentional excercise throughout the day just being a teenager. You may want to reconsider your needs. Get your parents to take you to a nutritionist if need be.

Oh, and salt at your age isn't a problem, especially with the way you're eating. I'm sure you have perfect blood pressure. Salt is only an issue if hypertension is a problem. At 16, working out, you're sweating out a lot of the salt.

dude, i said i am 16, i didnt say that i was a stupid little kid who runs around for no reason!! lol

[vb1175]

I don't mean that you're a spaz running around aimlessly. I mean that aside from working out, you're probably more active than most of the adults on this site who work out daily. I know I was more active at 16 than I am now because I had more time to be active. 2200 calories is probably way too low for you, and eating that little will inevitably cause you to burn muscle. Most 30+ year-old men on cutting diets get 2500-3000 calories, depending on their activity level, and most 30-year-old men don't have the metabolism of a 16-year-old.

Actually, its a piss poor diet. Unless you are a 12 yr old girl, 2200 calories isnt enough for you, even if your not 'running around aimlessly' (not author quoted, but refering to), your body is burning calories just living, not counting calories sitting doing work, moving from class to class, thinking, etc etc. let alone exercise. hell id bet your RMR is around 2000 kcals per day, but i dunno your height, or weight so i cant really say.

You are not eating enough of the following:

FAT


sorry, i hardly see any. you need fat, so get over it and enjoy it

you are getting enough, protein, maybe even too much. (by too much, i mean, an amount, by which, more protein is consumed, than it is demanded for by the body, by that i mean. more protein does not mean faster gains, or faster fat loss. okay good, we cleared that up)

you're carbohydrates seem alright, but on the low side.

definately not nearly enough fat.

You aren't getting enough protein and carbs if you're drinking just a glass of milk pre-workout.

Whats wrong with just a glass of milk. do you really think you need 50g of carbohydartes and 30g of protein pre workout to do it effectively? (figures are random, and generic, dont look too far into it). I dont think so . Milk is great for your body, helps put back glycogen stores, which is great, because when you exercise, you deplete those stores...

anyway, you dont need complex carbohydrates to do your workout right, you dont need simple either, and you definately dont need a ton of protein. its about balance, and your exercise goals. an example would be

Prolonged (over an hour long), low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise. Fat and Carbohydrate (Complex)

Short duration (under hour), low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise.
Carbohydrate(Complex and/or Simple Sugars) and Protein.

Short duration, moderate to intense anaerobic exercise.
Carbohydrates(Simple and Complex) and Protein

Long duration, moderate to intense anaerobic exercise.
Well thats just stupid, dont do it. spending over an hour doing 100 exercises thinking your going to bulk is going to land you in a world of hurt, population: you


Anyway, pre/post workout nutrition cannot be as easily defined as we would like, and each person responds differently, even under the same conditions.

Regarding the diet at hand:

MORE Fat
LESS Protein (if you up your total caloric intake, add additional protein, but as a general rule, i dont recommend you have more protein than carbohydrates
MORE Carbohydrate
MORE Calories.


and, NO!! no diet will make you fat! NONE, okay, get it? got it? good.

Sitting on your ass is the only surefire way to gain weight. okie dokie.

Any questions, comments, concerns?

[south_paw]

you diet looks great, I think you will be able to cut with this diet.

Go to the gym 5 days a week to. I would eat spinach or some more greens if I were you. I found they helped me get cut for some reason.

Overall looks good...if you can stick with this.
