Critique My Weight Loss Meal Plan Please

[mpgpro]

A little about myself.....I am 5'10, 260lbs, approx 180lbs lean body mass. Ive been looking around and I think this would be a good layout for a meal plan.

Breakfast:
1 piece of whole wheat toast
peanut butter on toast
Cantaloupe
8oz glass skim milk
Protein Powder

Workout

Snack:
Protein Powder
Granola Bar
Apple

Lunch:
PB&J Sandwich
8oz skim milk
carrots

Snack:
Grapes
Almonds
Protein Powder

Dinner:
Chicken Breast
Brown Rice
Broccoli
8oz skim milk


When I put all this into fitday it tells me I would be consuming 2,500cals, 66.2g fat, 328.4g carbs, and 160.9g protein.

To me, the carbs seem way too high and the protein maybe a little too low.
I was kinda surprised to see the total come out to exactly 2,500 cals (I didnt manipulate at all to get to this number..ha)

Anyways, Im just curious if everyone thinks this would be a good balanced meal plan in order for someone my size to start loosing fat.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Im no expert, but it looks like youre having too much protein powder. You should swap the first one with egg whites.

and after you work out, you could have the protein power, but instead of the granola bar and the subsequent pb&j, you should be having a chicken breast at that time. For dinner, you should alternate between chicken breast and steak and salad.

I lost 55 lbs in about 5 months doing this plan:

Mon - Legs
4 sets leg ext 10-15reps
4 sets squat 6-10 reps
3 sets leg press 10-12 reps
4 sets leg curl 10-12reps
3 set db stiff legged or walking lunges

Tues - Chest
4 sets incline db or barbell 8-12
3 sets flat db or barbell 8-12
3 sets db fly or machine 12-12 reps
2 sets weighted dips

WED OFF

thur - back
bodyweight pullups 4 sets upto 15
bent over row barbell or db 4 sets 8-12
front pulldown wide or narrow (switch it up) 3 sets 8-10
cable row 3 sets 6-10
behind the head(ya ya they're bad blah blah blah) 2 sets 15 reps Medium easy weight...just squeeze.

fri - shoulders/arm
3 sets db press or front military 8-10
3 sets side laterals 10-12
3 sets reaer lateral machine or db 10-12
6 sets shrugs behind the back for 3 sets and too the front for 3

tris
3 sets 10-15 rope pushdown
3 sets french curl bar or machine 6-10
3 sets reversed push down (palms facing) 8-10

bis
3 sets barbell curl or cambered bar 8-12
3 sets preacher machine or db/barbell 8-12
2 sets hammer curl db or rope 10-15
wrist curls 13-20 reps 2 sets
Do abs mon-thur

Do calves tue-fri

Practice things like drop sets and giant sets on certain weeks as well. Say on bench you decided to do a 3-4 rep weight...well after you get 3-4 drop it in half and do another 12 right away...push yourself.

If I drop the rice for dinner what should I add? I already have broccoli in there for green veggies and eating only.....chicken breast, broccoli, and milk....doesnt seem like a very balanced meal.

Thanks for the advice.
