stab at diet plan .

[chelle12]

Okay , so I took a stab at making my own meal plan …
I tried to incorporate the following:
- [1500-1800 calories / 30% Fat / 30% Carbs / 40% Protein ]
- I tried to get most of the carbs in the first four meals
(with exception of a green veggie)
- Fats were added in the last two meals
- Pre Workout & Post workout Whey Protein Drink [ with water ]

oh , and here are my stats if they help..
im 5'7 & 124 currently , brand new to weight lifting & my goal is to lose body fat and gain some lean muscle mass! im going to be following a 4 day spilt & 30 mins of cardio twice a week..


Meal One : [ Calories/Fat/Carbs/Protein ]
1 Medium Banana [ 105/0.4g/27g/1.3g ]
1 Serving Cottage Cheese [ 90/2.5g/6g/12g]

Meal Two:
½ Cup Oatmeal [ 150/3g/27g/5g ]

Totals: 1706 Calories /55.4 g Fat /155.5g Carbohydrates /160.5g Protein

According to the 30/30/40 % ratio & with 1500 calories as a basis it should go as follows:

Calories: 1500
Fat: 50g / 450 calories
Carbs: 112g/ 450 calories
Protein: 140g / 600 calories

I hit it just about right. a little high on carbs =/ , do you think too high?
