Basically i may add 1 thing to eat 2400 calories because i am also exercising burning at least 600 calories a day. I have previous done a high protein low carbs for 1 month, then a carb and protein balance for 1 month, now to this all out balance for maximum energy. I started at 197lbs and am current 175-176ish , i am thinking my goalis 155 to get a athletic build with abs because i am only 5'7".

Personally, I'd add a cup of liquid egg whites cooked in a tablespoon of olive oil to breakfast. That would get the extra protein serving you're missing and add a fat serving (the cashews you have listed are probably more like a snack than a fat serving). That would add about 240 calories to your intake, which would get you to almost exactly 2,400.

Other than that, I think it looks good. One thing you might try, however, is replacing your mayo with a combination of plain non-fat greek yogurt and balsamic vinegar, which will increase your protein and cut down on saturated fat. Plus, I think you might like the taste better...I know I do.



It's not very balanced- you're diet.
You're lacking hearty fats and dairy/ calcium with abit of protein (with you're ammount of exercize you should be consuming more protein to restore/ rebuild and repair damaged muscles during you're activity's)

Try this ideal and spread out you're eatting more so you're not eatting a ton at one time- it can cramp up and cause some internal problems (blockage/ constipation/ acid reflex/ heart burn/ etc)

Breakfast:

Lunch:
- 2 Slices wholewheat breads (or large wholewheat wrap/ pita/ bun) with 3oz chicken breast (or 4 slices luncheon deli chicken/ turkey/ ham or roast beef) with 1/3cup shredded cheese or 50g sliced unprocessed cheese with sliced vegetable toppings (eg: spinach/ onion/ tomato) and 1-2TBSP hummus/ dijon- honey- original mustard or guacamolie.
- Consume with greek yoghurt
- 1/2Cup crunchy vegetables with 1/4 cup hummus or 1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese or 2TBSP light creamy salad dressing to dip.

Dinner:
- 4-6oz Chicken breast/ lean red meat (prawns/ beef/ steak/ kabob)/ pork (solvaki/ ham/ tenderlion/ chop)/ poltry (chicken/ turkey breasts and theighs, etc) or fish/ seafood (salmon/ trout/ cod/ halibit/ tuna steak/ scallops/ shrimp)
- 3/4 Cup brown or long grain rice/ couscous/ quinoa/ barley/ wholewheat pasta or medium (~cup) of yam/ potato's
