How does this meal plan look?


I have been trying to devise a plan for roughly about 2500cals per day. As per my previous couple of posts I would like to be able to gain some muscle while loosing body fat. The best I could do for a plan is below but it only totals around 2000. I don't think I will be able to eat any more than this but I know I will need to.
Can anyone suggestion where I might be able to make up some more?
And also, does anyone have any problems with HIIT on the same day as weight training?

HIIT on the same day as weight-lifting is a big no-no - takes too much out of you. save it for your off days or at least wait 12 hours between.

instead of straining your brain coming up with a menu, why not just use www.fitday.com ? that's what i use and it makes planning and tracking relatively painless.

Thanks for the reply. This menu is a result of about 2 hours sifting through fitday!
It is a great site but it is hard to find what to eat at certain times of the day as I am restricted in work (on the road etc.)

eat every three hours - take food with you or invest in some protein shakes or bars if you must.

i base my menu around: tuna, eggs, milk, salmon filet, chicken, and beef. for high-carb days, i add a couple pb 'n' b sammiches on whole wheat bread.

I would replace the oats/bread/potato in half those meals with fresh veggies. While cutting you need to be REAL careful how much of those starchy complex carbs you consume.
