Is my diet alright?

[T_Money]

Ride stationary bike for 30 minutes.

Breakfast (9-10):
2-3 eggs worth of egg substitute mixed w/ onions, green peppers and mushrooms. 2 pieces of toast w/ http://www.tasteyoulove.com/product_detail.asp?pid=5. Watermelon or apple or banana. Glass of skim milk.

Lunch (12):
A healthy choice meal of some sort (http://www.healthychoice.com/eatwel...&RegionId=7&ProductCatId=13&ProductSubCatId=2) but now they come w/ sides of steamed vegetables, mostly brocolli and carrots.

Bas Rutten Workout tape for 30 min (1:15)

Snack (2:00)
serving of turkey deli meat and cottage cheese

Snack (4:00)
banana or apple

Dinner (6:00)
Spaghetti sauce w/ 99% fatfree ground turkey. some kind of noodles (im sure they were the regular, bleached wheat kind). Iceberg lettuce w/ fatfree italian dressing. pickle. can of diet pepsi. *My mom makes this meal so I don't really have control over dinner, how bad is it to have carbs here?*

Also, does my diet fit in right w/ my excercise times?

Breakfast (9-10):
-Add one whole egg in with the egg substitute because the protein in egg whites isn't very bioreadily available without the nutrients in the yolk

Lunch (12):
-I would try to skip the healthy choice meal and make your own if at all possible.

Bas Rutten Workout tape for 30 min (1:15)
-The Bas tapes kick ass for cardio/endurance

Snack (2:00) & Snack (4:00)
-Try to get a veggie at atleast one of these two meals (some carrots or snap peas are simple choices as a snack)

Dinner (6:00)
-I realize you don;t have control over this meal but if you can get her to switch the regular pasta for whole wheat and the Iceberg lettuce to fresh spinach (tastes better and better for you)

Also, does my diet fit in right w/ my excercise times?
Since your getting alot of high GI carbs at dinner, it would be best to workout before that meal, around maybe 5:00-5:30


What are your goals, how much exercise are you currently doing, basic background, etc? Without that info, it's hard to get too detailed with the adjustments.

I'm 5-9, 185 and would like to get down to the 160-165 range. I started at 207 about 2 months ago and have lost 20 pounds doing no excercise but only eating 1500 cals a day. I realize that probably isnt the right way to diet now, so im going to try and do it right. I only do the bike and bas cd

Since your cutting, I would say definately add the whole egg to your omlete in the morning and preferably get rid of the toast (or atleast cut it down to 1 piece, I'm assuming its whole wheat)

Also bannanas are fairly high glycemic, so you might want to replace that snack with something else. A few almonds and a lower GI fruit would be better. Madmick has a thread that lists the Glycemic load of a bunch of fruit on here.

Be careful not doing any lifting while doing this diet because you are going to be more likely to lose muscle mass along with the fat. So if possible do some lifting even if its just one day per week. If you don't have access to any weights here is a bodyweight exercise website that should help http://www.bodyweightculture.com/forum/
