Thoughts on my new meal plan? (cutting)

[Rooskie93]

Hey guys, currently re-evaluated the food I was eating after hitting a plateau and would like to hear what you think about the quality of food not how "boring" it is, I am a person who can eat the same thing day in day out really so variety isn't a matter for me.

Stats:
Age: 22
Height: 5'8 (173cm)
Weight: 98.2kg

Let me know what you guys think of my current meal plan: (Note: I do intermittent fasting so only eat a few large meals a day)

1st Meal (1pm) 185g Tuna, 150g Broccoli/Beans/Snap Peas, 1 Banana, 1 Protein Bar (Not really protein bar more muesli bar), 1 Protein Shake.

2nd Mel (4pm) 3 Whole Egg Omlette, 35g Oats

Snack: 140g Greek Yoghurt with steel cut oats

Dinner: 250g Basmati Rice, 150g Chicken Breast, 150g Broccoli/Beans, 30g Cashew Nuts, 1 Protein Shake

Total Calories: 2126
Macros: 63g Fat, 186g Carb, 198g Protein.

Just because you can eat the same does not mean you should- it will lead to dietary deficiencies; also tuna every day is a great way to get mercury poisoning, limit it to 1-2 times a week.

At a glance though- need more variety in veggies, add some fruit, less tuna.

No need for a set meal plan, just hit fat/protein minimums and let the rest of your calories fall as they may with a variety of food, preferably ones you enjoy while keeping micro-nutrients in mind too.

No offense but the whole mercury poisoning **** is total bull****, I've been eating 2 cans of tuna a day for the last 2 years and havn't got it yet. Nor have I heard of anyone who eats tuna getting mercury poisoning.

Best of luck with your health goals.

Here is a tip- do not ask for advice than bitch when it is not what you want to hear, others will not be so quick to offer advice.

Maybe read what I wrote it had nothing to do with my diet it was the accusation that eating tuna every day would cause mercury poisoning.

Symptoms include irritability and decreased cognitive function...

Looks like a miserable diet.

For starters, I'd never restrict myself to the same food selections on a daily basis. I'd also never use supplements (protein shakes/bars) when cutting as it's a waste of calories that could be consumed VIA whole foods that would be more satisfying and taste better.

It's not really a protein bar like for example quest or whatever it's more a muesli/cereal bar that is high in protein that has nuts and fruit etc. I don't use shakes as meal replacements they're just there to hit my macros.

Well I do intermittent fasting so my first meal is at 1pm at work, and my 2nd is a light meal when I get home which is why eggs and oats is easy.

The diet in it's entirety looks bland and disgusting, never something I'd recommend or attempt, and I'd still ditch the supplements and eat more real food to hit macros.
