Diet for life.

karl_m

This is the diet I hope to loose a little bit of weight with.
Then I'll increase it by a meal or two to maintain weight.
I'll be mainly eating the same sized meals, 5-7 a day.
(I take supplements so some of my meals will be with protein.)
Just wondering what people think.

Breakfast:
Porridge with skimmed milk. Piece of fruit.
Egg whites on wholemeal toast.
Smoothie.
Rice Krispies.(Cheat meal.)

Dinner:
Skinless, boneless chicken breast, broccoli, brown rice.
Salmon with mixed veg.
Quorn mince with veg and wholemeal pasta.
Red meat once a week.(Cheat meal.)

Meals:
Mixed frozen veg with nearly every meal.
Can of tuna/salmon.
Can of kidney beans
Organic peanut/almond butter.
Oats with protein and water.
Homemade protein bars.
Protein shake.
Smoothie.
Fruit.
Yogurt.
Mixed nuts.(Brazil, almonds, cashew.)
Oat cakes.
Dark Chocolate.

Why is red meat a cheat meal?

We need a bit more information. The food types you mention are mostly good - red meat shouldn't really be considered cheating as Stench Blossoms suggests as long as you factor it into your daily calorie intake (same with all/any food really - but variety might help you a bit).

Saying "egg whites on wholemeal toast" could mean 2 eggs whites on 1 slice of wholemeal toast or it could mean 10 egg whites on 6 slices of toast!

What sex/weight/height are you? How much weight are you hoping to lose? How much exercise do you take?

I just consider red meat a delicacy so wouldn't have it more than once a week.

I'm male, about 185 pounds, 5'10, looking to drop to 175 pounds slowly, about a pound or two a week.

I do at least 30 mins of cardio a day, sometimes an hour.
Bodyweight workouts every other day.

Hard to tell from that the quantities of the food you're eating. Also difficult to tell which items from the 'meal' list you're eating regularly or not. You're possibly not getting enough fat everyday. I'd leave the yolk in your eggs, maybe some olive oil with your tuna and have the peanut/almond butter daily too. But again, hard to nail down solid advice without acurate figures.

Is this a diet you made yourself or is it a specific one??

I'm on about 1900 calories, 150g protein, and I think 180g carbs a day if that helps.
