Default south beach diet

wife wants to do another run of the south beach diet since it helped us lose some weight in the past. i told her i wasnt going to do it with her but i would "diet" with her if she'll make my other meals. laugh.gif

this is my "cutting" diet

meal 1
6 oz chicken or turkey boob (or 95% lean ground beef)
6 egg whites
1/2 cup oatmeal (before cooking)
1/2 grapefruit

meal 2
protein drink

meal 3
10 oz chicken
1/2 cup oatmeal or 6 oz sweet potato or 3/4 cup brown rice
1 cup veggies

meal 4
10 oz chicken or turkey
2 cup veggies

meal 5
protein drink

post workout
shake + 1/2 banana

meal 6
12 oz fish (talapia or similar) or 10 oz chicken or lean beefs
1/2 box frozen spinach or 1 cup veggies

monday or thursday, 7th meal
1 1/2 cup oatmeal or cooked rice, 10 oz sweet potato, 6 oz banana, 1 cup veggies, 1 tbsp butter at end of day


i havent looked at her South Beach menu but it's possible i can eat what she's eating and add some proteins in here and there.

any of you guys ever do south beach while working out/cutting/bulking?

That's at least double (maybe triple) the calories I eat. I'm hitting the gym for 2 to 3 hours a day and I eat:

Meal 1:

Bowl of Total with raisins and a banana (skim milk).

Meal 2:

Salad with 2 Tbsp. of light Italian dressing or (non-creamy) soup with a piece of dry whole wheat toast.

Meal 3:

Salad with small chicken breast or soup (whichever I didn't have at lunch).

All I drink is water.

I'm thinking of adding a post-workout protein bar.

I've gone from 205 to 191 in 3 weeks and I'm also building muscle.
