12:00-8oz chicken
2:30-Tuna
1 cup brown rice

Hey bro replace the instant oatmeal with the real stuff. it's called Quick oats or something but it's basic oatmeal. you just nuke it. Also throw in some Fish oil caplets while you're at it. EFA's are essential when dieting. Toss a good multi in as well. Other than that it looks good to me. Personally I would ditch the apple but that's just me. What are your stats/goals? Do you weight train?

I'd replace the packaged oatmeal for some regular oats.(add some cinnamon and splenda)
Personally, I don't think you're eating enough. I think you need to add in some veggies most definitely. I also think you could use a sweet potato added to that noon meal. What are you mixing your protein shakes with? Are you having salad or veggies or anything with that 7pm meal? Erm...that steak is your preworkout meal?
You're before bed meal should be a slower absorbing protein and you should add some flax oil in there as well. i would suggest a cup of cottage cheese before bed with some flax oil.
It would be helpful to know your stats though. It just looks like you're not eating enough food to me.

I'm 196 lbs not sure of body fat. 5'11, I weight train 5 days a week. 7:00 meal I have some greans forgot to put that down. Micing shakes with water. Im trying to trhow a salad in there. I was going to mix it in with the chicken. I guess you can call the steak a preworkout meal. I have school after the meal then the gym. I probably will eat it on my break at school. What is the cottage cheese for? thank you

thanks for posting your stats. Okay, first off, you'll need to be taking in a minimum of 200grams of protein per day divided amongst your six meals. I'd suggest higher than 200g but we'll get you to 200g per day before going up. Well, your preworkout meal should have some carbs in it. I like to have 1 cup oats and around 4-6 egg whites at the meal before I train. You need some carbs in that preworkout meal and oats are such a great source of good, clean carbs.
Well, before bed you want a slow absorbing protein meal and cottage cheese fits the bill. You can also make your shake with milk instead of having the cottage cheese. You do want to make sure you are taking some efa's in with that before bed meal though.

I am above 200g of protien. With my shakes alone I get 150g. Thank you for your help. I will switch stuff around and repost my diet tomorrow. You can tell me what you think then. Any other comment are greatly appreciated. Whats efa's?

I wasn't sure if you were taking in one scoop of protein per shake or two. Good luck and keep us posted how you are doing.
