Hey Bigandy69 We Have A Problem Pal!!

[getbig27]

ok heres the breakdown....the first few weeks would be 48pro/37carb/15fat my

my calories fall around 2500-2600 per day.
--meal 1(7am as soon as i wake up)
3scoops of milk and egg protein powder in 1 cup of skim milk or water. with milk the breakdown is 98gms pro, 25carbs, 4gms fat.

--meal 2(10am)
6oz baked catfish with 4oz mixed vegetables(containing carrots, corn,potatoes,peas, green beans,lima beans) 4oz rice--27gms pro, 10gms fat, 57gms carbs

--meal 3(1pm)protein bar and 1 sweet potatoe. 24pro,29carb, 7fat

--meal 4--(3pm)same as meal 1
--meal 5--(6pm)same as meal 2
--meal 6--(9pm)same as meal 3

the pro,carb, fat info is the total amount for each meail. since i workout either in the morning or the evening i move the meals around to fit into the schedule for the day. as for cardio i have always just walked on the incline treadmill or 45min starting 3 days a week working up to 6 days a week. this year i wanted to start cardio around 8 weeks out from the show just to see how low my bodyfat can get using my workout and diet alone. what should i change in terms of what i eat and when?

It's a good start and adequate for the first weeks.

I really don't like meal 6. Limit yourself to one protein bar a day. (beleive me they are not real bodybuilding food).

I don't know how small those sweet potatoes are, but I'm willing to bet they have more than 20-30g of carbs.

Back off the carbs a little from the rice at meal 5

6oz of catfish has only 27g of protein? I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just suprised it's so low.

You're going to need to set a FIXED time for your workouts. I would advise you to train in the early to mid afternoon. This way you can time all your meals and training perfectly.
