Thread: Rate my diet/Suggestions?!

I've been on a consistent diet of eating the same thing for two months now and my muscle is going up while body fat percent is remaining the same. I get mixed answers from everyone that I view as "experienced" so I don't know whether to continue at the same pace or to cut some of the calories out. My main goal is to build muscle with a sub-goal being to lose fat while building this muscle.

I am 5'9 172 lbs. I have a recent InBody scan where I went in fasted and my results are 80.5 lb Skeletal Muscle Mass and 17.5% body fat. My Basal Metabolic Rate is 1754 kcal. I walk four miles every morning @ 15:00/Mile pace and do Push/Pull/Leg/Rest Routine.

Calories: 3242
Protein: 212
Carbs: 450
Fiber: 30
Sugar: 88
Fat: 64
Cholesterol: 1110
Sodium: 1255 (I salt everything which is not included)
Potassium: 3000
All vitamins: 100 or more (Fitness Pal's recommendation)
Iron: 73

Breakfast: Oats w mixed fruit, 4 eggs, banana

After walk snack: Apple w Serving of creamy peanut butter

(total rice for day = 1.5 cup)

Lunch x 2: 4 oz talapia w rice and brocolli, 4 oz salmon w rice and brocolli

In between lunches: Half can of Pinto beans

After gym Protein shake w Glycogen restore and creatine

Dinner: 9 oz Rinsed Beef w rice and ketchup

I feel like I could be more efficient and I am over-doing it to ensure I don't under-do it but I do not want to miss any gains. Let me know what you think please

It sounds like you are trying to eat like Tony Mandarich or Ronnie Coleman. Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you look like Tony or Ronnie. If the answer is no, maybe there is a better way to reach your goals.

I am quite small for how much I eat, so I agree with you there. What are your suggestions on toning it down?

I suggest a diet of 1's & 0's for you, OP. Also, no need to track. I don't think bots need to worry about their macros...
