help with my diet - Lacto-ovo vegetarian
Hey guys/gals. I'm new here and I’m looking for advice on my diet. It's sort of different than other diets that I’ve been reading up on because I’m a Lacto-ovo vegetarians (This type of vegetarian diet excludes all meat except for dairy and eggs). I know some will say to give up and that I’m wasting my time etc, but please if you don’t have positive criticism don’t comment at all.
My goal is to decrease bf (10-12%) at approx 180-190 lbs. I have lots of work and I know it won’t happen quickly. Right now I weigh 198lbs and am approx 15%bf. Most of which is around the waist and a bit in the upper body (chest area).
I'm doing morning cardio for 30 minutes (3.5mph, 5-8% incline on treadmill) 4-5 days a week.
For starters I want to get my diet in check, so I've come here for help.
MEAL 1 - 10am
250ml (1 carton) Egg whites
2 slices whole wheat toast
MEAL 2 (post workout) - 1pm
2 scoops Optimum Whey
Glutamine
2 scoops Gatorade powder
MEAL 3 - 2pm
Brown rice, potatoes, veggies
375g cottage cheese
MEAL 4 - 5pm
Whole wheat pasta
1 scoops Optimum Whey
1/2 banana (in shake)
MEAL 5 - 8pm
1 scoops Optimum Whey
1/4 cup dry oats (quick)
MEAL 6 - 11pm
375g cottage cheese
Splenda
MEAL 7 - Before Bed

The protein is approx 270g. Throughout the day I drink 1-1.5 gallons of water. All shakes are made in water also.
Thanks for taking the time in reading this, all help will be considered and appreciated!
