Thread: My Diet Plan

Hey guys,

I know most of the people have some different goals to those of my own. However, I'm posting this diet here, for the people like me when I started. I had no idea where to begin and I knew that certain diets that I saw on here would not work for me.

So if you're looking to lose weight (from anywhere over 100kg and been stuck there for a while), give this a go. It has got me some great results so far. All of these meals I rotate depending on how I feel.

Breakfast (7 30)

#1 (Usually only have on gym day - don't have as often as others)
40g PP
30g Oats
1 Banana
300ml water
BLEND

#2
220g baked beans
2 eggs
100ml egg whites (approx 4 - 5 eggs)

#3
100g tuna
2 eggs
100ml egg whites

Morning Snack (10 30)

#1
30g Dry Roasted Almonds

#2
30g Dry Roasted Cashews

#3 (If gym in morning)
20g Dry Roasted Almonds
40g PP + 300ml water

Lunch (1 30)

#1
200g (uncooked) chicken
100g cos lettuce
50g cottage cheese
1 tomato
3 tbs kraft no fat balsamic (less than 25kcal a serve)

#2
200g (uncooked) Beef Round Eye Roast (tougher cut but really lean / low in fat / 30g Protein per 100g)
100g broccoli, beans and pea mix

#3
150g (uncooked) kangaroo fillet
100g broccoli, beans and pea mix

Afternoon Snack

#1 (If haven't had almonds in morning)
30g Dry Roasted Almonds

#2
2 boiled eggs plain

#3 (If gym in the arvo or if no PP had been consumed that day)
40g PP + 300ml water

Dinner

#1
200g (uncooked) chicken
100g cos lettuce
50g cottage cheese
1 tomato
3 tbs kraft no fat balsamic

#2
150g (uncooked) Kangaroo Fillet
100g broccoli, beans and pea mix

your a better person than i am GD if you can eat tuna for breakfast

Pretty awesome plan there but for me Id be giving away the high sugar fat free dressings. Apart from that, its something I would and have followed very similarly

I know the dressing is bad, but the one I buy has only 2.4g sugar per serve, so for my sanity, I allow it.

And bigock - I love tuna!!!

yum! looks nutritionally balanced and also very tasty!
If you did want to move away from the no-fat dressings, you can make a really tasty dressing with a tablespoon of lemon juice, 1tsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Or balsamic vinegar is also pretty good.

mmm... roasted almonds...

i'd be ditching the roasted almonds. a raw almond is great.... roast it and you bring out the saturated fat content. not good IMO

that's a shame... still, unroasted are still pretty fine!

I don't have a bag right where I am, but I'll post the nutritional facts of the Dry Roasted Almonds when I get home. From what I can remember, they were lower across the board than the raw ones I was looking at. Plus - I've tried raw almonds - not for me!

Dry Roasted Almonds (per 100g)

Energy 2571kj / 614kcal
Protein 20g
Fat 55g
- sat 4.5g
Carbs 4.3g
- sugars 4.3g
Sodium <5mg
Vit E 31mg

Seeming as though my serving size is only 30g (recommended is 50g), less than 2g saturated fat is fine for a nutritious snack and to preserve my sanity.

definitely... if they help you stick to program, just count 'em in. I'm impressed you can stick to 30gs... I'd probably end up scarfing down the whole bag! :-)

The WHOLE bag? You mean, 750g? :P

"dry roasted" almonds refer to oven roasted almonds, "roasted" almonds are usually deep fried thats why you would have higher saturated fats in the latter.
I have about 60g-70g of dry roasted almonds spread throughout the day, they are so addictive.

hmm... no, probably not that bag - that's a whopper!
Voluntary portion control isn't my strong point though :-)

Me either... Took 450g of turkey to work tonight to cook in the oven for dinner and save some for lunch tomorrow. The veges I had tasted like crap so I ended up eating the whole 300-350g that it came to when cooked.. Felt so gross. hahaha
