So would like it if yall could critique the diet and tell me what you think.

Weight is 200 lbs. Need to drop weight, and gain strength. Calories for the first 3 days are around 2800-3000 this is for the 20% based on age.

40 g. carbs per meal
40 g. prot. per meal
rest of calories is fat.

Breakfast
1.5 servings of oatmeal
4 whole eggs
1 Glass of reduced fat milk

Snack
Meal Replacement shake with extra prot. powder
Bran Muffin

Lunch
1 Glass of reduced fat milk
4 oz. chicken
1 banana
1.5 serving of Quinoa

Snack
Meal Replacement shake with extra prot. powder
Almonds and slice of toast

Dinner
1 Glass of reduced fat milk
4 oz. chicken
1 Sweet Potato

Snack (this will be my post workout meal)
Milk with prot. powder
Slice of Toast

The meal replacement is for until the Mass Pro Whey comes in.

The amount of saturated fat in the whole milk freaked me out a bit so I replaced it with reduced fat.

Again, do not mix fat and carbs if you are trying to lose weight. It is not going to work well. Protein + Fat is fine, Protein + Carbs are fine, Carbs + Fat is a big no-no.

Meal Plan would be something like this, based on Night workout:

Meal 1: P+F
Meal 2: P+C
Meal 3: P+C
Meal 4: P+C
Meal 5: P Shake(pre-workout an hour before)
During Workout: EAA's/Carb drink
Post Workout: P shake/EAA's
Meal 6: P+F
Before Bed: P Shake+Fat

Nutrient Intake on lifting days: 50% Carb, 30% Pro, 20% Fat and on Non-lifting days: 50% Pro,20% Carb, 30% Fat

You are not zig zagging calories, you are zig zagging macronutrients...

So just follow the BP recommendations regadring calories, but run those splits on macros

Please just eat and enjoy life. because life is so beautiful and There is no joy in this diet.
Everything in moderation and you will look fitter and healthier .
