Critique My Diet

Hi,

I am looking to create a diet to help me loose weight. Heres what I have come up with so far:

Monday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Jacket Potato and Tuna, 1 x Apple
Snack - 1 x Banana
Dinner - 1 x Pasta and Tomato Sauce

Tuesday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Jacket Potato, Beans and Cheese, 1 x Banana
Snack - 1 x Apple
Dinner - 1 x Quorn, Pea's and Mashed Potato

Wednesday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Tuna Panini, 1 x Apple, 1 x Yohgurt
Snack - 1 x Banana
Dinner - 1 x Jacket Potato, Peas, Vegie Sausage

Thursday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Jacket Potato, Beans and Cheese, 1 x Apple
Snack - 1 x Banana
Dinner - 1 x Tuna Panini

Friday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Jacket Potato and Tuna, 1 x Apple
Snack - 1 x Banana
Dinner - 1 x Pasta and Tomato Sauce

Saturday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Beans on Toast, 1 x Apple
Snack - 1 x Banana
Dinner - 1 x Quorn, Pea's and Mashed Potato

Sunday
Breakfast - 1 x Crunchy Nut
Lunch - 1 x Tuna Panini, 1 x Banana
Snack - 1 x Apple
Dinner - 1 x Jacket Potato, Peas, Vegie Sausage


I am a total newbie to this but I have picked the healthiest food I eat and put it into this.

I am pretty much a vegetarian because I do not eat much meat at all.

Please tell me things to improve because like I said, I am a complete newbie.

Thanks a lot!

Re: Critique My Diet

You need more protein in that diet, you will be most likely defficient in B-12 as well as creatine.
Select some protein sources.

Im summising if you've come on a bodybuilding forum then you train and so want to lose weight to look leaner? Is that the case or are you quite overweight and looking to lose a lot of fat?

Re: Critique My Diet

You need to eat every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism going.

Aim to be around 500 calories deficit per day and have 6 small meals a day. Eat low G.I (glycemic index) foods like a bowl of porridge for brekkie. Plenty of fresh fruit, lots of veg. Keep your carbs low. And minimal/no processed foods.

Make sure you get enough protein in your diet.

Drink plenty of water and green tea.

And plenty of cardio. Tabatas and Hiit (high intensity interval training) as you can.

I've lost 10lb since the 1st of Oct with this approach. Good luck.

I used to train, nothing serious much but I am looking to start training again. In the period I wasn't training I put on quite a bit of weight which I'd like to lose before I start training again.

I'm pretty confused about that, were you being sarcastic?

What do you mean by this?

Thanks for the help so far guys.

What is your height, how much do you weigh and what are your targets?

Re: Critique My Diet

at 5'11 and 154lbs mate surely you can't be that fat tbh, I was at that weight around 5 yrs ago after stopping training for a few years and I was always fairly lean.

I think its more than possible to lean up whilst adding some muscle aswell mate, its more than doable IMO.
