| This is one of the first "critique my diet" posts where your diet is pretty solid. Even if you changed nothing, you'd have great results. Good job on your research.
You have all of the right foods in there. It's exceptionally clean.
I would say that your calories look a bit low to start you off with though. For a 220lb guy, 2000 cals will be too catabolic in my opinion. You should shoot for 3000 to start with, and only lower them if you're not able to lose bodyfat each week. With those foods, 3000 calories (the extra coming from proteins and good fats only), you'd turn your body into a food burning unit.
I do struggle to believe that you're consuming 60g of fat on that diet. You've got 1/2 cup of cottage cheese which is about 5g, and 3 tbsp of oil which are about 15-20g. Where is the rest coming from? |
