    alrighty. count up all the calories you ate(obviously dont count the cake and ice cream as this will not happen all the time)

    count how many grams of fat, protein, and carbs.

    if you're under 2000 calories you are definitly eating too little.

    go for around 120-150g carbs per day, around 300g protein, and 60-80g fat

    that will put you at around 2400cals...50%protein, 25%carbs, 25%fat

    from your chart, it looks as though you are greatly lacking in protein, and fat.

    nah, more food. grill a chicken breast, drink fat free milk, grill a steak!.

    as far as fat, get some unsalted mixed nuts, and natural PB! when you make chicken, use extra virgin olive oil, eat an avacado.

    I would strongly suggest a protein shake just before bed. Otherwise that diet doesnt look too bad. I think I would chuck in a handful of nuts into the mix aswell for fats which help lubricate the joints.

    Hi,

    Imop it's ok if you can find some without corn syrup or extra sugar. I haven't checked, but that could be difficult. Anyways, good luck.

    I have been loving avocado, what I do is scoop 1 out into a bowl and put in some salsa, chili powder, and a little bit of salt, mash it up and eat that over a day. It makes a great days worth of guacomole, and its healthy!

    Mate, answer this please if you can. At the moment my (I'm 85kg, 5'11") calorie intake for today was 1077. This week I've been burning 500-600 (thereabouts) through exercise 5 times a week.

    My split up currently (Today) is 29%Fat, 28%Carb, 43%Protein.

    - Is his 2000 all up, including how much is lost during exercise?
    - Should I be adding more bread/pasta carbs to my diet? It basically only involves eggs, fruit, protein shake, beef/chicken/veg for dinner.

    My story is, for a bit of background - I'm off to the Army in 2 weeks after leaving the Navy 6 months ago, so it's basically a last ditch quick cut diet to see how much I can shred before leaving.

    Cheers.

    What I was thinking is, since I'm only eating the 3 meals a day, I could probably chuck in 2 more between to raise the calories.

    ...wow, so you're saying you eat 1000 calories and burn 600 per day? or you burn 600 per week? either way, 185lbs needs more than 1000 calories. if you want to go keto for the next few weeks, thats fine...but make sure you make up for it with protein and fat intake. eating that little could actually throw you into a catabolic state, and make you lose all your muscle. it could also throw your body out of wack, making it think its being starved, causing it to store fat. whether you add some complex carbs(oats, brown rice, whole wheat bread) or up your protein/fat intake is totally up to you, but you definitly need to do one or the other or you could end up with opposite results than what you want. (btw, the more muscle you lost, the more catabolic you become also...so burning fat comes with having muscle as long as you eat right)

    yes, the 2000-2400 calories is not counting calories lost while training.

    Ah too easy mate, I'll chuck in 1 or 2 slices of whole meal toast, plain with breakfast and a cup of brown rice in between lunch/dinner. That should even it out?

    So that stops the body from going and breaking down muscle?
