Hey all, a friend of mine just got a diet plan and was asking for my feedback. I gave her my initial thoughts, but figured I would ask y'all for the same, given that many of you are way more informed on nutrition issues than me. It's the same thing for every day:
Meal 1: 4 egg whites
1 serving oatmeal or grits
1/2 grapefruit
Meal 2: 5 oz. Chicken breast
Medium baked sweet potato
1 serving of veggies
Meal 3: 5 oz. Lean red meat
Medium serving of asparagus or brocolli
1/2 grapefruit
Meal 4: 5 oz. Turkey cutlet or tenderloin
1/2 cup brown rice
Meal 5: 5 oz. Tilapia or other white meat
salad or other veggie
To me, that looked like a lot of food for a 5' 3" 120-ish pound girl not trying to bulk up. I told her it looked similar to plans used by bodybuilder friends during their cutting phases. However, I didn't do a calorie count so I could be very wrong. There also don't look to be many carbs or healthy fats, so I told her fish oil at the least could help.
Thoughts?
