My Simple Meal Plan

Jimmyftw94

Hi guys so I'm 5'8 150 lbs and I trying to lose like 10 lbs or so. Basically expermenting to cut down on body fat to better show my workout that I put into shaping my body.

So I made a simple meal plan that I can eat everyday and not be bored of and I can easily stick to until I go back to college. I want to know if it is good or not.

Breakfast:
-Sausage, Egg and Cheese on Bagel
-Milk
-Banana

Lunch:
-Steamed Shrimp with Steamed Broccoli
-White rice

Dinner
-Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce

Snacks
-Cliff Bar
-Chobani Yogurt

Water
-4-6 bottles

This is the diet I'm thinking to slim down. Obviously, I would use a different one to bulk up again. Please tell me what you think.

Doesn't really matter what it is, so long as you're in a deficit. Still, sounds good with the exception of the dinner. ADD meat!

Hi, I was thinking of adding meat to my dinner but I'm living alone right now and I don't ready know how to cook meat, (the breakfast was made from a local store), so I just boil everything lol. I guess I can add some boiled chicken but that doesn't sound too good.

I wonder if there some supplement to replace meat protein would be helpful.

Hi! It's a bit hard to determine if the meal plan is "good" when you do not list the portions of the foods you will be eating and your Calorie goal. I will be making very broad assumptions in regards to your Calorie content (based off portions that I would personally eat):

• For breakfast, one bagel sandwich (Used info from Dunkin Donuts -620 Calories), 8oz of 1% milk (100 Calories), and 1 large banana (120Calories) is 840 Calories, 111g of carbs, 28g of fat, and 36g of protein. The bagel sandwich is also really high in sodium and saturated fat, and you are only getting about 4g of fiber from this meal
• 4oz of steamed shrimp (112 Calories), 1 cup of broccoli (31 Calories), and 2 cups of white rice (388 Calories) is 531 Calories, 88g of carbs, 2g of fat, and 37g of protein. There is a lot of vitamin C in this meal, but you're only getting 3g of fiber.
• 2 cups of cooked spaghetti (442 Calories) and 1 cup of tomato sauce (59 Calories) is 501 Calories, 100g of carbs, 2g of fat, and 19g of protein. You will be getting about 10g of fiber from this meal.
• A container of Chobani strawberry banana yogurt (150 Calories) and a chocolate mint chocolate Clif bar (250 Calories) is 400 Calories, 62g of carbs, 8g of fat, and 21g of protein. There is also 5g of fiber in the snack.

All together, you will be consuming 2272 Calories, 361g of carbs (64% of Calories), 40g of fat (16% of Calories), and 113g of protein (20% of Calories). If you're a 20 year old sedentary male who is 6'0" and 200 pounds, your TDEE is 2379. Without factoring in exercise, you will be eating at a 100 Calorie deficit per day and losing at a rate of .2 pounds per week.

Personally, though I am guilty of eating the same foods over and over again also, I am not big fan of the macronutrient distribution for your meal plan. I find it easier to be satisfied with foods with higher percentages of fat and protein, and, due to a medical condition, prefer to limit my carbs.

Browning hamburger meat is pretty much place in skillet flip and scrape occasionally when its brown through out drain in colander (rinse if you like) then if you wanna make spaghetti or something with it put back in skillet and dump the sauce over. Proceed as normal. This also applies to ground turkey though the colors may very and can use frozen or thawed meat.
