show in 7 weeks

[BrandonMitchell]

Hey all,
I am doing a transformation show in 7 weeks. My fitness buddy trains people for contests and such and he asked me if I wanted to be in it. So the last few days I have cut back to lean out. This is what my typical day is. Every 2-4 hours is eating...

wake up: 1/2 oats dry, whey shake in skim milk, banana
meal2: usually a tall glass of skim milk
meal 3: either the same or tuna fish/chicken, and some lettuce
meal 4: oats and milk again with a banana
meal 5: can vary from veggies and chicken, to tuna, or rice and some other kind of meat
meal 6: whey and skim milk usually
meal 7: pre bed.... low fat cottage cheese, or another whey shake.

this is just a very rough sketch, I normally switch it up and change a few things but this is the average day. I don't mind it cause I use equal on my oats and fat free butter spray.

I do think im drinking to much dairy/and shakes. So I may get some eggs for egg whites at some point.

I am noticing some leanness; I want to get as lean as possible.

Let me know what you all think

By the way, i drink TONS of coffee! and I drink alot of fluids from water, and diet sodas, and sparkling waters

thanks

I`d say:

Meal # 1-Dump the milk and the banana and use water

Meal # 2-A glass of milk is not a meal bro......nowhere near enough protein

Meal # 3- Not bad but add some complex carbs like rice or potatoes

Meal # 4- No protein at all

Meal # 5- Fine

Meal # 6- Use water

Meal # 7- Dump dairy products

All in all I would say you are losing weight because you are eating low calories, and very light,(created a calrie deficit)......but too much dairy,fruit,and not enough clean protein and complex carbs from solid food sources.

You will lose muscle eating like this in my opinion, as well as fat.

Just my opinion bro......only trying to help you.....not trying to be a jerk.

I hear ya tim, thanks for the reply

I hear soy milk is better then normal milk...the low sugar kind, it has more protein and it packs only a 90 calorie punch.

[Tim Wescott]

Brandon,soy sucks :Double Puke:................I love milk too but you can give it up until your contest is over.......gotta` make a lot of sacrifices when dieting if you want the best results you can acheive!!

[BrandonMitchell]

so what should I replace with it? do you still have that cutting sample diet you gave me a while ago? sorry to bug ya man!
Brandon ;D

[Tim Wescott]

Go to the "Contests And Contest Prep" section and check out my contest diet thread,it`s pinned at the top of the page........you don`t need to be as strict as you are not going to be getting onstage, but it might help out,by giving you a kind of template to use when you set up your own diet.

Hey man how is the diet going?
did you do the changes that Tim suggested
and how much did you change since?
You must be a couple weeks out now so
good luck!
