Alright let me start off by saying that I haven't posted in a while and I'm a bit rusty. I have been busy with school since this is my senior year of college and I also started my student teaching this past semester so I have been busy as hell. But I'm a p.e. teacher now and to be honest, I have let myself go from what I used to be. I'm disgusted with how much fat I have put on and it's time to change it. No more excuses. So here is my diet that I have spent some time working on. Let me know if you have anything that I should change.

Honestly it looks great! I suppose someone will suggest that you remove the banana, which is a bad suggestion. Keep your cells healthy, keep your banana. The only assumption I am making is that I assume you have accurately matched your training routine to this diet or vice versa to reach your goal. The proportions of calories are apprpriate, the food choices are good also, the only real error you could be making is to be over eating, but I assume you are training hard in which case your burning more calories and keeping at least a nitrogen equilibrium so as to not waste muscle.

The only diet change i might suggest is to add a complete protein to meal 2. Add some BCAA or something with a full amino acid profile to that meal.

Only thing I'd say is that you don't have a heap of vegetables or fruit in the diet.

I'd also add that you've got protein powder in meals that I'd have at "conveniance" times during the day. Better to use the protein powders/shakes for when they are superior, rather than with a meal like breakfast.

Yea, all of the break downs are what I am supposed to be taking in for my body weight. I am doing a split routine 5 days a week with cardio every day so I'm sure that I will be buring those extra calories. Plus I teach p.e. and I'm walking around all day. I understand what you are saying Tim and I will keep that in mind.

Looks very solid to me man, only thing that you could do different is adding some veg in some meals, like broccoli. High volume, high fiber, low cals, so you add little to no kcals by eating them bu the volume of food becomes greater, which in turn helps with the hunger

Yea, I'll prolly switch the veggies up if I get tired of them after a while. I just like spinach, it's easy to eat and easy to throw into the lunch box early in the a.m.
