The first month and a half of college hasn’t been to good to me diet-wise. When I got here I thought, “Wow, this is a lot of free food…” and I got the most out of it as I could. At one point I was eating upwards of 2,000 calories of sugars and fats at 1 o clock at night after studying. Now I don’t really look like I work out.
I’ve made the decision earlier this week to follow CT’s maximizing fat program, and I’ve also started tracking my diet without overlooking a single detail. But I can’t expect myself to know that I’m doing everything perfectly with my lack of overall experience, since the only kind of “diet” that I’ve been on has been starving myself for wrestling. So I’d like someone to tell me whether or not my diet is good for optimizing fat loss.
Here’s my diet:
DIET
Example of Day A (Mon. Wed. Fri.):
Meal 1: 2 fish oil caps, 5 Hardboiled egg whites w/ 1 yolk
Meal 2: 1 scoop protein in water or can of tuna, 3 fish oil caps
Meal 3: 5 slices of deli turkey meat with salad, red wine vinaigrette as dressing
Meal 4: 1/2 scoop protein in water or 2 slices of deli meat
Meal 5: 2 pieces of roasted carved meat served in dining hall, large portion of dark green veggies or salad
Meal 6: 1/2 scoop protein in water
Example of DAY B (Tues, Thurs):
Meal 1: 3/4 cup oats cooked w/ milk
Pre-WO: 1/2 scoop protein in water
Post-WO: 1 scoop protein in milk
Meal 3: 2 slices deli meat, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 2 fish oil caps
Meal 4: 2 slices deli meat, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 2 fish oil caps
Meal 5: 2 carves of roasted meat from dining hall, salad or dark green veggies
Meal 6: 1/2 scoop protein in water, 2 fish oil caps
Example of Day C (weekends, no breakfast in dining halls):
Pre-workout: 1 scoop protein w/oats and flax mixed w/ water
Post-Workout: 1 scoop protein in milk
Meal 3: 3 strips of bacon on salad
Meal 4: 3 fish oil caps, 2 slices deli meat, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Meal 5: 2 carves of roasted meat from dining hall, salad or dark green veggies
Meal 6: 3 fish oil caps, 2 slices of deli meat
Day A is my rest day and days B and C are my training days; I’ve centered my diet around my workout and class schedule. Right now I’m around 161 pounds at 5’7", and I’m guessing that I’m at 20% bodyfat. I’ve calculated that I can lose 2 pounds per week eating 2,000 calories a day on my workout days and on the days I do not workout I eat around 1,800. What do you guys think? I’m open to any kind of advice.
