First time ever following an actual meal plan.
I always write up something but never follow it. I'm rocking a cycle soon, and I'm taking a little vaca at the beginning of May, so I'm looking to get shredded.

Getting real serious here.... went out and bought a food scale.
Food weighed, measured, and prepped out is as follows:

Breakfast - 6:30am - 590 calories
1 Cup (84 grams) red/green peppers and onions
21 TBSP Egg Whites
2 Cups grits
28 grams cheddar cheese

Workout - 8:30-9:30ish

Post Workout - 10:00 - 120 calories
1 scoop Whey - 24 grams protein
1 Scoop Greens Freak vitamin

Lunch - Noon - 520 calories
12 oz (336 grams) Boneless Skinless Chicken
1/4 cup dry uncooked Jasmine White Rice

Dinner - 6:00 - 580 calories
2 Cups Baby Spinach
8 oz (226 grams) Swai
Large Flour tortilla (71 grams)

Snack - 9:00-10:00
2 scoops whey or (240 calories)
21 TBSP Egg Whites (175 calories) or
2 Cups Cottage cheese (240 calories) - more likely this one


Problem... this is only about 2,000 calories. I can hold this for a while I suppose, throughout April to get really shredded up for May, BUT, afterwards I am going to want to bump up to around 2,500-2,800...
Add in another meal and some more carbs?
I understand this stuff is a very, very tedious process, so if anyone has the time or patience to throw in some pointers, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you gents and ladies.

What's the macro breakdown on this and is this your every day or just today's plan? If it's your everyday I reccomend making 3more meal plans so you have 4 different days to choose from otherwise it will be hard to stick to.

Carbs is 148 grams, Fats are at 45 grams, and Proteins are at 226 grams.
This is my first week.... just Monday through Thursday, weekend will be low carb. Each week I will increase amount of days I am low carb, until the first week of May where I will be pretty much carb free and manipulating my water weight.
Each Sunday I will re-eval my weight, body fat percentages, workout performance, and figure out what I'm going to rock for nutrition.

My lower carb days are going to look a little goofy... definitely not TKD, just low carb to help manipulate the water weight.
