Since he hasn't answered yet I'll post what he gave me as the "modified version".....
Meal 1-3: roughly 30g of protein, 25 g of complex carbs, NO FAT.
Meal 4-6: roughly 30g protein, 10-15g of unsaturated fats, NO CARBS.
You can have veggies anytime and as much as you want (no starchy veggies though).
Never mix carbs and fat.
I just started this diet so we'll see how it works.

I did a diet very similar to this last summer only I limited my carbs to my first meal and I did great on it....I also combined it with an ECA and cardio 4-5x a week first thing in the AM....
Here's an example day...
Meal 1- Protein powder/small bowl of oatmeal
Meal 2-Chicken Breast/small bowl of brown rice
Meal 3-Tuna/Veggies/ half a pita
Meal 4-Salmon/Veggies
Meal 5-London Broil Steak/Veggies
Meal 6-Protein Powder/ 1 tbsp Flax Oil

Have patience with me PinK...as befits a newbie, I'm confused.
Some people on this board say that if you don't eat enough calories, you'll hold onto body fat because your body thinks it's starving...the "skinny-fat" argument.
You advise a calorie deficit, which makes sense to me, but perhaps will start a spirited debate.
I'm eating between 1400-1600 calories a day, my maintenance calories are 1440 (120 x 12)...
Does this amount sound about right to do Crum's diet right? How many calories, approximately, does your sample day work out to?
Thanks again...I'm learning so much.

It's true that you should eat enough calories so your metabolism won't slow down, but more importantly you should eat smaller meals throughout the day so this "skinny fat" syndrome won't occur....the way your body would hold on to fat is if you eat a meal and then wait several hours before eating again...your body would go into famine mode and would most likely store your next meal as fat....in order to lose some bodyfat you should subtract at least 150 calories from your maintenance calories...or you can maintain your maintenance calories and do some daily cardio *at least 30 minutes*....
I have not totaled my calories yet on fitday for today but when I do, I'll post a link for ya....

Evilqueen, to properly answer your question we need to better understand your goals.
I assume you're trying to loose weight and body fat?
If so, yes, you need a calorie deficit. In your last post you indicated your maintenance
is 12 x bodyweight (1440 cal). Your maintenance caloric intake is actually 15 x bodyweight.
12 x bodweight will give you a fairly aggressive deficit, and you should certainly loose
body fat if you stick with that plan. If your activity level is high (lots of cardio and
3-4 intense weight session/week) you should rapidly see results.
Pink233 has given you some great advice. Follow what she' suggested.
Be sure to get your unsaturated fats (flax oil, fish oil, almonds etc), eat lots of
veggies, drink lots of water, cardio in the morning on an empty
stomache (with ECA stack, if you want), hit the weights.
Be patient, give a few weeks, but stick to it.
Let us know how you're progressing.
