Am I eating right to lower body fat??

[new_user]

Could somebody please help me, I want to reduce my body fat whilst training, can anyone tell me if what i am eating will help me achieve my goals. And or give me tips on what i should change.

6.15am
Small bowl of porridge with skimmed milk

7.00am
Training (Mon, Wed, Thu Weight Training & Tue, Fri Cardio)

8.30am (straight after training)
Protein Shake made up with water (Myopro) 1 serving
1 x Wholemeal Toast spread with marmite and peanut butter

10.45am
2 x Wholemeal Toast spread with marmite and peanut butter
1 x Cup of tea with skimmed milk

1pm
1 Apple

3pm
1 x Tin of tuna with a salad topped with vinegarette dressing.

5pm
Tin of Pilchards in tomato sauce
Apple

8.30pm
Chicken breast x 2 (or large tuna steak) with brockerley, baby sweetcorn and carrotts.
1 x Cup of tea with skimmed milk

I have one treat evening a week, normally a saturday night that includes an 'eat anything' evening meal and a couple of pints!!

Although i've been following the above diet for 2 weeks and i am starting to see and feel the difference, if i stick with it, is this diet going to be the one that gets my body fat lower than ever?? It'd be great to here some comments.

Regards,

You should count the calories in your food and find your BMR (basic metabolic rate) and make sure you eat 500 calories less if you want to lose BF. Also it helps to make breakfast and lunch your biggest meals with most of your carbs in earlier in the day and cut them out after about 4pm. You can use fitday.com to enter in all your foods to help make counting calories VERY easy and free.

you should give him K for that, i's the only correct answer you;ll get. carbs for meal 1 and around your training is all you need. Period. All else, P/f meals...ever 3 hours.....all the same size. keep the furnace stoked. Your protein intake sucks, your food choice suck too for the most part. Keys:
FLAX, OATS, BEEF/CHICKEN/TUNA, NUTS, CC, AND GREEENS.

Thanks for your comments......

I am loading my eating diary into fitday and i can already see where i need to make changes.

Would you say i need to cut bread out completely?? Or can i keep that for post workout??

Does it hurt to relax off on the diet once a week?? or will it undo the good work??

holy shit, Oliver Twist just posted up.

but all joking aside, it looks like you're really putting forth the effort. so just give it some time, i'm sure you'll be pleased.

i would cut the bread and definitely cut the milk

I went onto fitday.com and entered all my foods, the total calories came to 2200 and the split was Fat 25% Carbs 27% and Protein 48%

Is this any good??

6.15am
Small bowl of porridge with skimmed milk Quantity?
Insert a lean protein source. Egg whites would do.

7.00am
Training (Mon, Wed, Thu Weight Training & Tue, Fri Cardio)

8.30am (straight after training)
Protein Shake made up with water (Myopro) 1 serving
1 x Wholemeal Toast spread with marmite and peanut butter
Cut this out. You don't want a slower digesting carb source after you worked out, and you especially do not want PB because it further retards digestion.

10.45am
2 x Wholemeal Toast spread with marmite and peanut butter
What is that?
1 x Cup of tea with skimmed milk Quantity of milk?

1pm
1 Apple
You could keep this, I don't eat fruit when I cut. You need a lean protein source here.

3pm
1 x Tin of tuna with a salad topped with vinegarette dressing.
Excellent.

5pm
Tin of Pilchards in tomato sauce
What is that? Watch for added sugar in the tomato sauce.
Apple
Cut out, because it is later in the day.

8.30pm
Chicken breast x 2 (or large tuna steak) with brockerley, baby sweetcorn and carrotts[/I].
Cut out both of these. They are too high in sugar.
1 x Cup of tea with skimmed milk
Cut out the milk. You do not want lactose in you system when you go to bed.

A cheat meal is a fine idea. I would recommend making it tasty, but also high in protein and carbs. When do you train legs? I would suggest that you have your cheat meal after you work legs, an hour or so after your post-workout shake. You can reward an arduous leg workout, and restore your glycogen levels, all at the same time.
I would ditch the beer. I am picking up that you are from England, or a former colony. I understand that drinking is more of a cultural activity for you, but beer does nothing for you.

Although i've been following the above diet for 2 weeks and i am starting to see and feel the difference, if i stick with it, is this diet going to be the one that gets my body fat lower than ever?? It'd be great to here some comments.
I would say that after a month on any well put together diet, you will start to see some noticeable changes. Dieting is strange, as is the human body, because it is not a linear process. You will make great strides, hit plateaus , and then hit more strides.
Consistency is the key.

Regards,

I hope this helps!

If you want to add in something green I would suggest green beans. I don't know any science behind them but they are 20 Cals, 0g Fat, 4g Carbs, 1g protein and I find them nice to add to a meal earlier in the day to make me feel more full without really adding much to my overall numbers for the day. I've heard spinach is very nice but I can't stand the taste so havn't looked it up.
