Questionable calorie intake v.s. workout

[JWick]

Hey guys,

I have a quickk question on what you think about my diet, to be straight forward im waking up sore and seem to not have enough energy to complete my routines. I will just make a short run through of my average meal and food intake during the course of a given day.(for example, yesterday):

:1st meal:
6 egg whites
1 glass of v8 fusion
strawberry yogurt

:2nd meal:
sliced ham
celery
banana

:3rd meal:
protein shake
sliced turkey
cottage cheese

:4th meal:
talapia fish filet
cottage cheese
post-workout protein shake

Just a round-about of what i'm taking in. I am in a weight-losing phase attempting to drop from my current 235 to somewhere around 220 or so.
And again im just curious on whether i am not getting enough calories/protein to be able to maintain a solid workout. Thanks for your time and any help is very appreciated!!

I would suggest checking out the fitday website. It really helps eliminating all the guesswork involved in calorie intake.

use fitday to get the total amount of carbs, protein, fat and calories you're consuming and post it here. Depending on how hard you're cutting calories, I wouldn't expect to be making strength gains.

thanks for the suggestion on the site, ill check it out asap. and yeah i realize the lift gains wont be evident or even there at all just focusing on maintaining the majority of the muscle while slimming down.

Hey guys,

You've got maybe 50 grams total carbohydrates per day.

I would start there if you are concerned about energy, or hop of some good stimulants.

dude that seems really low. At first glance i think you could do with more of everything.

Well, the answer to your question remains the same.

You are likely not eating enough carbohydrate.
