Ok, just posting my diet and routine for some feedback.
Goal is fat loss, I need to lose about 3 - 5% BF. I am lifting for maintence, any gains I can get and personal enjoyment and fat burning benefits

Diet:
===

Morning (7:30)
Bowl of Alpen Cereal
Glass of Orange Juice

Mid Morning (10:30)
Chicken Breast on a whole wheat bun
a dab of BBQ sauce for added taste

Lunch (12:30)
Handful - Handful and 1/2 of Whole Wheat Pasta
2 meatballs made of EXTRA LEAN ground beef
Sauce

Mid Aftrernoon (3:00)
Yogurt and Cottage cheese

Supper
Steak and Potato or Protein Shake w/ Bananna
or Chicken Breast and Potato etc...

Night snack
Protein Shake (no bananna)
or Chicken Breast with a dab of BBQ sauce.

=============

Workout - I am doing the WBB routine #2, with some changes I am making to it. (I don't like chins when I am alone, and dips.. so, making some exercise changes)

I play Indoor Hockey on Monday nights for 1.5 - 2 hours. I also go for rollerblades for 30 - 45 mins at night 2 - 3 times a week. When I "feel" like being a mouse on a wheel, I hit the gym and do some HIT on the Eliptical machine. I'd prefer to rollerblade.

I feel with this diet, which I find VERY easy to follow (its never been easy, but now it is. I guess I am just tired of quitting). I find the routine to be ok (weights). I started off light to avoid injury, lifting about 60 - 80% of my usual. Also, I am still playing with the routine a bit.

Anyways, I think this will get me nice and slim for the beach for Summer.

Comments / Suggestions / Feedback

Next week, I am incorporating Flax Seed Oil and Multivitamins in the morning (waiting till pay day). I also find that when I start something new (or add something) I do better when I start on a Monday... gives me 5 straight days to make it a routine.

Saturday is my cheat day.. basically, I am still active.. but I have a few bad foods, and I go out to the bar ar night time and drink.
Gotta keep my social life.

Looks OK - but need to know your BMR and the calorie totals.

*** Exchange the cereal with Oatmeal and throw in a scoop of whey protein or mix up a shake.

Mid Morning (10:30)
Chicken Breast on a whole wheat bun
a dab of BBQ sauce for added taste

*** Get rid of the whole wheat bun and use some multigrain buns form a local bakery.

Lunch (12:30)
Handful - Handful and 1/2 of Whole Wheat Pasta
2 meatballs made of EXTRA LEAN ground beef
Sauce

Mid Aftrernoon (3:00)
Yogurt and Cottage cheese

*** PLain yogurt?
Other yogurt is laiden with sugar. You want to cut out as much sugar as possible. Also throw in some flax oil as well.

If I did this right (from www.thinrich.com/bmr)

My BMR is: 2031 cals

BMR after activity rate of 1.4 = 2843.4

Which breaks down into:

daily carbs - 320 g
daily protein - 249 g
daily fat - 63 g

per meal carbs - 53 g
per meal protein - 41.5 g
per meal fat - 10.5 g

So... does this give you a better idea? Think I am close?

I'll have to figure out the food break down.

Feel free to help out with comments / suggestions / tweaks.
Keep in mind my current diet to give you an idea of what i like :)
NO TUNA please. Bleech!

[the doc]

so plan your diet around 2000-2300 cals but keep your fat up around 20-25% Reduce carbs and protein for a caloric deficit...

[Twiztid]

I wonder how close to 2000 - 2300 cals I am right now.

i'll have to figure that out, unless anyone knows some of the values already? :)
