Breakfast:
2 eggs (either more egg whites, or have some other type of protein here, a whey shake maybe)
1/2 cup oatmeal
glass of milk (I would take out the milk)
sometimes an apple

Snack:
1 fish fillet (as in fried? no good, if so.
1 egg
1 oz nuts (unsalted walnuts or almonds are the best)

lunch:
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 cups of petite peas
8 oz chicken ....(looks good for pre workout)

after workout:
protein powder and sometimes a banana (definitely need some fast acting simple carbs, dextrose would be good, maltodextrin too, if not, regular juice would be a last resort if you must, dex is easily found online, and at most non-franchise supplement stores)

Meal After workout:
3 oz chicken
1 carrot bag
1 can of tuna (need complex carbs here, it's your post post workout meal, oatmeal, brown rice, whoel wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, etc.)

Before dinner: 1 protein drink (could add some good fats here)


Dinner:
Rice and some kind of meat, dont really have control over it (I would look into cutting out the complex and starchier carbs here, a lean protein/fibrous carb (veggies) meal would be good.

Before bed:
cottage cheese (good, get more good fats here too though)



So this is all the food that i eat. This ADDS up to 2200 calories. My maintenance calories based on calculators is around 2554 calories so i have decreased it 350 calories.

I want to lose a pound a week, and i have lacrosse practice after school which is 2 hrs long and running is involved so that burns calories , i dont know how much. ANd weight lifting also in there.

So altogether im thinking altogether i have a decrease of 500 calories or more.

Im planning to drop the 1 egg on the SNACK, if you guys say its ok. I want to get to 2000 calories so i know im burning enough. Please help me and let me know whats wrong with this diet and what i need to change.

I can add more info if needed.
Thanks

For the fish fillet, my mom just puts it on a pan with a little vegetable oil and it tastes good. So i guess thats frying it but if thats the case should i remove it altogether.

Ill get rid of milk and add a protein drink.
i eat unsalted almonds not just nuts.

I will add 1/2 cup oatmeal for my post post workout.

The dinner i really dont have much control over, I like to have some rice there because it gives me energy for the next day. I have to play lacrosse and i cant cut out all the carbs but i did cut alot. I do have meat then with veggies.

As for after workout protein shake ill try to find dextrose.

Thanks please let me know about the new suggestions.
Thanks
