i'm new to these forums, but i've been reading for a while, anyway, i'm building a new diet and am having a bit of trouble. my goal is to lose body fat. this is what it looks like at the moment:

morning - quaker oatmeal packet (maple&brown sugar) w/ water, and 2 hard boiled eggs

====================
cardio/workout
post workout shake
1.5 scoops protein
50 grams of dextrose
====================

meal #2 - chicken of the sea small can of tuna in water with 1 slice of wheat bread, plain

midday - 1 banana and 1 apple and 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

meal #4 - 1 cup cottage cheese

night - 1 skinless chicken breast grilled, with 1 cup cauliflower, 2 large carrots (or combo of other veggies)

meal #6 - ??

for some of the food items, i used the pre inputed foods in fitday, which might make some of this inaccurate, but it looks pretty right to me.

all of this totals up to:
1,671 calories
fat 32 grams, 17%
carbs 207 grams, 45%
protein 150grams, 35%

my workout is pretty intense and takes me about 2 hours (it takes me over 3 hours to finish my tricep / chest days) to get through it, and i do 50 minutes of elliptical before it, and i do that five days a week.

my weight is 175, so i'm missing about 25 grams of protein, and i think i need alot more carbs right? i also don't know what to put as a sixth meal. any advice is appreciated


also, i don't know my maintenance level. with my current standards of living, i find myself grabbing a handful of cranberries or taking a few sips of milk, making it difficult to count my maintenance level. what i plan on doing is sticking with my diet that i'm building, and after every week, modify it until i'm losing weight every week. so i'll start with this, then scale myself, if i haven't lost or gained any weight, then i'm going to eat 250-300 calories less. if i've put on weight, i'll take off about 500 calories.

First of all, you might want to look into adding some more fats into your diet and taking away some of the carbs. A 40/40/30- p/c/f ratio is usually recommended. If you are trying to lose weight you may want to think about lowering carbs even more, or cycling carbs throughout the weak. Also there is absolutely no reason that you should ever spend three hours working out your chest and triceps. You should be doing either an upper-lower split, push-pull split, or a full body workout that takes about an hour or so. Read all the stickies in the weight training and nutrition sections to get an idea. To me it looks like your calories are too low. If you post your workout routine, and read those stickies so you are more knowledgeable people will be more willing to help.

Good luck
 
yea add in some more fat, and dont be scared to double meals, like eat another can of tuna. Grab some egg whites, as they are high in protein and low in calories. There are countless options
