Cutting Diet, Please Critique

sup, ive recently enrolled back into schoolmand im ALWAYS on the rush. I barely have time for anything. In 7 Hours i only have one lunch break which is only 20 minutes. Mad Rush. Anyways i managed to find my own way to slip in my meals and drinking water. I bought some EAS Advant Edhe Carb Control Nutricion Bars. So as i am working i always just slip in peices of that bar into my mouth. and im always able to drink water whenever as many times as i want. Since i am on the rush always im going to be eating about 2-3 meal replacement bars a day for about 7 days a week. I was told that as long as you do not combine fat and carbs in the same meal, you are good to go. Here is what a typical day would look for me.

8:30- 3 Eggs and Veggetables w/ 2 slices of cheese
11:30 Lunch Break- 3 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread w/ 6 slices of fat free turkey
3:00- EAS Advant Edge Carb Control Bar
5:00- Something Healthy ( Whatever healthy stuff mom cooks)
8:00- Either EAS Bar or Protein Shake ( if lots of activity i take eas bar)
11:00- Peice of Fat Free, Bonless, Skinless Chicken Breast

Eas bars are high protein low carb meal replacement bars.

Like I've said I'm on the Run all the time, i'm lucky im able to sneak in these eas bars. i used to only eat like 3 times a day before i bought these bars , thats wat a rush im in. i'm also on a student budget so i am supplement free.
I try mostly to have low carb but i was told to have at least one carb source throughout the day. I would try to make it during breakfast but then what would i take to lunch to eat? I don;'t want too many of those bars a day.
Thanks

If you want to eat low carb and try a ketogenic diet ok, but you don't combine that with a low fat diet at the same time. Fats you don't want to reduce to such low amounts regardless, just eat regular meats and watch the portion size.

As for high rush, either learn to eat cold food or buy a thermos. With a thermos you are not limited and can eat anything for lunch as you just make it at breakfast time and pop it in the thermos. You can get a couple and put steamed / fried / baked vegetables in one and the meat in another.

its not exactly the case that i dont have time to make the food but its time to eat it which is why i chose meal replacement. i signed up for too many classes, so i'm actually sneaking those meal replacement bars in my mouth, LOL. But the school allows us to bring water and drink during class.

You need fiber and you need fats(EFA's) for a sound fat loss diet.

I would say you are not enough either. Your calorie intake is very low, and your metabolism will react to it.

As far as nutrient partitioning goes(I suppose you are most probably referring to something from John Beardi not combining fats and carbs), this is totally out of context. First off we are eating a bodybuilding diet. If you are eating a typical American diet, this may have some justification, as you will have large amounts of saturated fat along with your carbs while sitting there doing nothing. But EFA's have never been shown to increase blood sugars in any way or increase the glycemic index of any carb. On the contrary, they are shown to greatly improve insulin sensitivity. Do not get too caught up in some of the things you read like that.

I thought your name was "Big Breasts", not Big Beast. Which is why I clicked on the link.

Anyways man, Instead of packing these bars, may I suggest packing lean sliced turkey breast, roast beef, chicken breast or something in a baggy. Munch on that on the urun instead.
I'm like you, always running, no time...I know how you feel. But those bars aren't gonna help you much. Try getting protiens from whole foods. Chicken breast slices for instance are good cold, easy to down quickly, and no carb, high protein.

Or even celery with peanut butter, though that can get messy. But use your imagination. You can come up with some really good, on the run, healthy snacks.

I would reccomend staying away from any form of "bars". It's probably carrying ALOT more sugar than you think...even if it says other wise.

Good post, Blaze, you gave me ideas.
