Advice with schedule

[ICPERFECT]

Hey guys, a few days ago I posted that I would post my eating/training schedule here and asked if I could get some feedback. So here it is. I weigh about 210, looking to get down to 180ish by August. I haven't worked out much in the last few years so my body fat is probably high. This is my timing of food intake and training:

MONDAY

6:00 AM – Cardio on empty stomach to burn fat ¥ (so far its been 20 minutes of increasing and decreasing my intensity)

7:00 AM – 1st part of 1st meal
• Fast-digesting Protein source (150 calories) - usually I may eat under the calories here, like a tuna or salmon burger (no bun just the fish), I drink water here too.

8:00 AM – 2nd part of 1st meal
• Fiberous carbohydrate source (450 calories) – Fruits . Again, probably not making the full 450 calories here, seems way too much, I get a plastic bag of melon, strawberries, etc and an apple. More water.

11:00 PM – 2nd meal
• Slow-digesting Protein source (150 calories) - (either a piece of steak or cottage cheese)
• Fiberous carbohydrate source (450 calories) – Vegetables - just veggies, broc, spinach, onion, not the full 450 calorie intake though. Water.

3:00 PM – 3rd meal
• Medium-digesting Protein source (150 calories) – Chicken breast.
• Fiberous carbohydrate source (450 calories) – Vegetables - again just veggies, broc, spinach, onion, not the full 450 calorie intake though. Water.

5:30 PM – Weight Training
• 10 minutes cardio walk/steady jog. Just enough to break a sweat, get your heart rate up, warm up your joints, and flush your muscles with blood.
• 40 minute Chest and Abs weight training session
• Stretch your Abs and Chest for 10 minutes

7:00 PM – 4th Meal
- Fast-digesting Protein source (150 calories) - usually I may eat under the calories here, like a tuna or salmon burger (no bun just the fish), I drink water here too.
- Fiberous carbohydrate source (450 calories) – Vegetables - just veggies, broc, spinach, onion, not the full 450 calorie intake though. Water.


10:00 PM – If you plan on staying awake until 11:30PM/12:00AM, 5th Meal
• Slow-digesting Protein source (150 calories) – Cottage cheese.
• Fiberous carbohydrate source (450 calories) – Vegetables and water.

I am planning to lift chest and do abs monday, tuesday lower body, wednesday off from lifting, thurs back and friday bis, tris, shoulders. I do cardio every morning about for 20 mins so far and I'll do a warm up job on the days I lift. Can I have any input about this schedule? I am planning to take Sundays totally off. Any improvements? I want to lose weight and gain muscle the best I can. I know doing a lot of cardio can reduce muscle growth but my big goal is remove my fat but have some nice lean muscle underneath. Thanks for any advice.

From the looks of it I would say that you are eating too much if you want to lose weight and your cardio isn't enough at just 20 minutes. Maybe Kian will be able to help you out with your schedule. He seems to know his stuff from what I have read.

My suggestion, you can take it or leave it is with meal one stick with higher quality lesser processed foods like egg whites. Those salmon burgers are pretty good, I've had them but they are low quality highly processed.
Meal 2 looks good
Meal 3 looks good
Again for meal 4 go with something higher quality, Chicken, Red meat, Pork, or 99% fat free ground turkey.
Meal 5 try 12 oz cottage cheese
11 oz fruit
.25 oz nuts

Also you need are lacking a 6th meal.

Also you cardio is way too low. At least 45 min. Incline level 15 and keep your heartrate under 150. 2twice a week. I would also do sprints for 30 min 2 days a week.
