    meal 1 6 eggwhites and 1 yolk omelette with lots of different veg thrown in

    meal 2 1 scoop of whey protein,1 spoon of casein protein and 1 tbl spoon of udos oil blended up

    meal 3 salmon fillet and broccoli


    during my workout: sip whey isolate and dextrose mix 2:1 carbs to protein

    Immediately postworkout:same mixture as during workout

    I like it! Good for an interim period of fat loss. Fair play to you if you can stick to it, looks difficult.

    Couple of very minor, general things.
    Don't be afraid of egg-yolks, vary the meat (chicken, lamb, alligator are good also), vary the veg, maybe incorporate nuts (not peanuts), cook with olive oil or coconut oil and not veg oil or sunflower oil etc. Fish oil is better than Udo's for the non-vegetarian (but don't cook with either!), you already get more than enough omega6 from the rest of your food, and the type of omega3 in fish oil is utilised about 5 times more efficiently.

    If you're working out a lot, consider taking a magnesium supplement, you quite likely don't get nearly enough.

    I really don't understand the importance body builders seem to attach to eating while they work out.
