I also take whey in milk at bed time, does anyone think there's too much fat if I take my omega 3 fish caps (7 of 'em) with it to prolong the release of the protein or are they better suited to another time of day?

Ok not really enough solid answers in the thread but everyone makes valid points.
Ok one. No your on a cut there are atleast 10 different carb sources I can think of better than the bread so no toast.
2. There are two times in the day it is vitally important to ensure protein uptake and general nutrient uptake happens as quick as possible. PWO and first thing in the morning as these are the times yours muscles need this most. Which means as minimal fat as possible at these times. How many people you know have peanut butter PWO. Olive oil in the morning is a bad idea.
3. Drop the egg yolks use more egg whites. egg yolks are high in fat and cholesterol, whether this matters is down tyo opinion, see Nick's cholesterol thread but drop them IMO.
4. Don't use 7 fish oil caps at once try more spaced but yes b4 bed is a good idea fats slow digestion down good idea at bed time. But not 7
5. Dairy on a cut leaves you watery IME its up to you but drop the cottage cheese, because it has a low fat content does not make it good food. Muller light yogurts have a low fat content and they suck.
There are various diets posted all over the site with more detailed critque and comments. Run a search. Tuna and whey are cheap as **** and much more nutritionally beneficial to you than dairy for the price you pay.
