Critique the diet of a broke college student on a meal plan...

[PROTEINNN]

Typical college student, I have to get almost all of my food from the school (Required meal plan, don't have access to a stove/oven, not allowed to have george forearm grills in dorm)

I am 5'11, about 170lbs, and I am cutting, yes cutting, my bf is around 12%, but I want to lose more for the summer

(Take 1 fish oil caplet 3x day, multivitamin at breakfast, drink plenty of water throughout the day)

Breakfast 8:00 am
2 scoops powdered eggs (444 calories, 56g protein)
(No idea how much grams per scoop, just going off the biggest serving size on nutritiondata.com)
4 strips thin bacon (172 calories, 12g protein)
1 bowl oatmeal (102 calories, 4g protein)
1 pint orange juice (110 calories, 2g protein)

Snack 11:00 am
1 banana (105 calories, 1g protein)
1 scoop whey in water (120 calories, 24g protein)

Lunch 3:30 pm
1 KFC tender roast (no sauce, just bread, chicken, lettuce) (300 calories, 34g protein)
1 scoop whey with water (120 calories, 24g protein)

Dinner 6:30 (also serves kinda as pre-workout?)
1 KFC tender roast (no sauce) (300 calories, 34g protein)
1 scoop whey in water (120 calories, 24 g protein)
1 cup brewed green tea

Workout around 7:15pm

Post workout (around 9:30)
2 scoops whey in water (240 calories, 48 gram protein)

Snack 11:00 pm
1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese (90 calories, 12g protein)
(I'm trying to work my way up to 1 cup, but this stuff tastes like crap)
1 tbsp natty pb (100 calories, 3g protein)
1/2 scoop whey (60 calories, 12 g protein)

Total
around 2300 calories
around 290g protein (which seems very high)

This could be off because of the eggs at breakfast.


I cannot wait to live in an apartment next year, but for now, this is how my diet looks. I am not eating at the cafeteria style places because the food is crap and they rarely have healthy meats (grilled chicken, lean beef, turkey, etc).

That is very high. I would suggest subbing some of your whey shakes with fruit or other carb. Not that this diet wont work... its all cal in vs cal out, but personally if i dont have enough carbs on a cut i feel like $hit. And generally its 1g/lb for protein so ~170ish should be plenty.

yeah, I never really kept up with nutrition, and now this is the first time I noticed how much grams of protein im taking in (I think's around 1.75g/lb).


And I think I'll take out a shake or two and sub in an apple?

Drop the whey at lunch and dinner imo.
