A little diet help...

[Supreme]

What's up animals here's my sample diet. I can only eat during the day about 3 times. I get 3 breaks, 2 15s and a 30. So I gotta keep the meals small and be able to chow em down fast. I'm trying to cut weight. I'm about 300. 6'4" and I don't know my BF but it's not under 20%. Help a brother out.

4am wake up
430-445 - some eggs w/ diced ham or turkey mixed in.
830 - first break - small salad w/chicken
11 - lunch - small salad w/chicken and pasta/potatoes
1255 - last break - same as first break (usually I'm not even hungry anymore but I force it)
4-6 - dinner - protein source - large salad (I cut carbs at night)

I'm going to incorporate a 2 scoop whey shake in the morning and at night. Since my two meals during breaks are light. I also will be switching hours so most likely these times will change to more of a "night shift". My workouts will also take place after 10pm. So instead of that "dinner" my last break meal will be the last thing I eat until post work out so I will try and get a small carb source. Any input would be great. I'm inexperience and don't take any supplements aside from whey. Thanks.

Have you been running that diet now? Are you losing weight on it?

I wouldn't sweat very much there brother, you aren't going more than 3-4 hours without eating so that is a good start. If you get a huge breakfast and a couple big solid meals between work and bed, and eat a big lunch as well then the other couple meals you get in are icing on the cake. 15 minutes should be plenty of time to down a meal so don't worry about that. Peanut butter on whole wheat and a protein bar is a solid snack you can eat in 15 minutes.

If you are trying to cut just make sure each meal includes a lean protein source and a moderate amount of carbs, and avoid simple sugars, you will get the results you want. Good luck.

i would go with a slower digesting protein before bed such as casein or something like universal's milk and egg. saw an article recently (m&f may '11) about the warrior diet; supposedly it is great for cutting fat.

For your 2-15's I would seriously consider some form of liquid nourishment in the form of an MRP. Universal has a very good one. Tuna, rice and broccoli for lunch pre mixed in a tupperware bowl works well. For breakfast you could do a turkey srambler w/ egg whites,green peppers and onions. A nice lean cut of meat with a huge salad for dinner should do it for the day.
