TOTALS:
CALORIES = 1310 (still low... damn it any ideas?)
FAT = 37g (333 calories) Less than 25% of calories
CARBS = 72g (288 calories) Less than 20% of calories
PROTEIN = 162g (648 calories) About %50 of calories *side note: I weigh 155.

This is the best tasting most non-diet like diet I could come up with. I've ate this for the last two days and it doesn't feel like I'm on a diet. The % of fat and carbs are what I think is the lowest amount you can have but yet is still healthy and will help you lose weight. Am I right?
Thing is, when you add these up it's only 1269 calories. Are the rest "empty", and is that bad? I'm trying to eat 1500, how can I raise calories with out rasing % to much? Do I need more carbs?

(meals are spaced out in 2 1/2 - 3 hours)
 
not enough protein in meal 2 (get 20g per meal)
pita bread with only 3g of carbs each? recheck the label, because that seems impossible unless they are using vegetable protein in place of most of the flour.

I'd say carb intake it low. bulk that up with more veggies and fruit, and maybe a bowl of Fiber One cold cereal (something like 14g of fiber in a bowl)
 
The pitas are mostly insoluable fiber (8%). They're great.
I'll try to find some bread with more protein ore something for meal 2.
Vegies sound good got to add that, can't beleive I forgot them.
Thanks.
 
I don't see any liquid other than the shake. Do you drink water strictly? If not, those glasses of juice, milk, etc will tack on calories. A glass of juice has around 100 calories, usually all carb.
 
You'll be hard pressed to find bread with more protein...and its' gonna be vegetable protein, and thus incomplete (not bad, but just not 'as good' as a complete protein)
can you change meal two to a chicken, turkey or lean sliced beef sandwich, and just have a small serving of peanuts (or almonds) for the healthy fats? that'd be how I'd tackle it.
 
I could do that. But is there anything wrong with the pb sandwhich really? I
I added a vegi pita to meal 2. It adds 5g protein and some veg I was lackign before.
Is that good enough?
 
You can try that for meal two. If it was me, I'd be eating lean meat, not vegetable protein. And I have an extreme dislike for processed foods...like your vegi pita. If I need more veggies...I eat more veggies...not a processed veggie paste baked into pita form at a factory.

but it really depends on how far you wanna take it. i'm a bit of an extremist in everything I do.
 
I would change it if I knew what makes it bad. I mean, the fact it's processed, how is that damageing? And what is the difference between vegi protein and meat?

Also, I made some changes. 1st, I'm eating more turkey. I only have 1 chicken breast a day, if any. Turkey I think is just better and I took out the veg pita after PB sandwich.
Then, for meal 1 I have my protein shake in fat free milk instead of water, for the calcium and just to add claories. +90 calories + 13 carbs + 8g protein
For meal 3, I added a bowl (cup or so) of broccoli, 30 calories + 2g protein + 4g carbs. I could also switch this with some mixed veg or a salad, or maybe a fruit.
Today I just finsed meal 4, I'm at 1200 calories. Should work out around exactly 1500 after meal 5. :)

Processed foods typically have a higher glycemic index, lower fiber content, low vitamin content, and are more likely to contain unfavorable chemicals and preservatives.

vegetable protein is incomplete: it doesn't contain all of the essential amino acids like animal protein does. But kidney beans are a much better vegetable protein source than a vegi pita...as the beans remain in their original state, and thus are more bio-available to the body.
