advice on my diet

[garya]

I have been reading this site regularly for about a month now and have picked up on tons of info!!!! I have based my workout and diet off of what I've read on this site. So far, I think i have been doing well but I need some advice. I want to make sure Im eating right so I figured I would post my diet and let everyone tell me what I'm doing right and wrong. First off, I'm 6' 202 lbs. and I work out every M, W, F at 6:15 am and do cardio T, TH, S mornings. I started eating and working out 4 weeks ago at 213 lbs. Here is a typical daily diet:
7:30am myoplex mrp right when i get to work from the gym

10am 1 cup cottage cheese/ 1 apple or
4 hardboiled eggs / 1 cup fat free yogurt or
1 egg/green pepper/onion omlette 1 cup fat free yogurt or
1 cup oatmeal with cinammon/ 4 hardboiled eggs

1pm 3 slices lean turkey breast/3 slices lean ham on whole wheat pita/ 1 cup carrots or
1 can tuna on whole wheat pita/ 1 can of cambells chunky chicken noodle

3:30pm 2 scoops whey protein/ 1 apple or orange or
1 can tuna on wheat pita/ 1 cup fat free yogurt or
1 cup cottage cheese/ 1 cup fat free yogurt

7pm 1 chicken breast broiled/ small bowl salad with fat free ranch/ 1 cup brown rice or
1 small top sirloin steak/ small bowl salad w/ ranch 1 baked potato

9pm myoplex mrp

i normally go to sleep around 11:30pm. i drink about 2 cups of water with each meal also. does this seem like a good diet? should i change it on cardio days? what i dont understand is that i am loosing weight each week but i really don't see any muscle gains yet. my goal is to burn fat and gain muscle so am i on the right track? thanks for any advice!!!!!

Don't know whats in a "myoplex MRP" but store bought MRP is usually whey and malto. Nix them and make your own with whey and oats. If you want sugar in your PWO shake then those MRPs should be ok, but you can buy your own malto/dex for $2/kilo.

Everything else looks like good quality sources of food, but without a total no one knows exactly how much you're eating. Use fitday.com to tab it up.

With a diet high in protein, you should drink alot of water. Aim for 1-2 gallons ED.

Since you are just starting out, expect to lose scale weight since your body is adapting to a healthy diet and working out. In actuality you are probably losing fat and gaining muscle simultaneously. Trust the mirror and ignore the scale for awhile. Keep getting stronger on your lifts and muscle will follow with a good diet and enough sleep.
