    Why all the protein powder?

    Other than that, it looks ok, but not enough veggies - just my opinion - I'm not a nutritionist.

    seems to me like you're eating too much of the same stuff. aren't you bored having the same thing for lunch and dinner?

    You're body will learn how to easily digest that chicken breast and potato and then it wont work as hard to do it. You've got to change it up from meal to meal and day to day.

    I would modify the potato for a sweet potato and throw some rice in there every once in a while for good nature. Instead of so much whey protein try having some chicken, fish or very lean red meat instead. Mix it up a little to keep your body guessing about what is going on.

    I agree with the others' ideas about mixing it up a little, substituting a sweet potato, and integrating more vegetables into your day. If you look at the colors of the meals you are eating, they are all pretty bland, so you're probably not going to get all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs with this type of eating plan. Try adding more vegetables and taking a multivitamin. That should help.

    Also, it seems like some of your calories are a bit off. I've been told that in general, chicken is about 30 calories an ounce, so your calculations for your chicken seems a bit low. Having that twice a day totals about 60 calories that you aren't accounting for. It's a small difference, but if you have 8 ounces of chicken twice a day every day, it will add up.

    As for your exercise plan, I don't know a whole lot about strength training for men (or women really for that matter), but it looks like a dedicated plan that will take a lot of committment but will get you where you want to be.

    Best wishes on reaching your fitness goals!

    Looks like an awful lot of calories to me.

    He's a 6 foot tall man though, so he's going to be allotted more calories than a woman would.
