Hi Kamazoo,

Not in my opinion - if you're 96K of muscle you might burn that lot if your not then way too much. I would work on at least 1 gram of protein per lean lb of bodyweight and carbs I'd aim at roughly 200gram ish, below gives 180 - 200 dependant on choice of breakfast.

I won't be able to do this justice in a couple of paragraphs....

Ok firstly if you're eating pies and pizza etc you're no doubt eating a good deal of processed foods which aren't much use to bobybuilders, loads of simple carbs sugars and fats so completely useless as far as muscle and condition go.

If you're aim is to lose fat you need to limit your carbohydrate intake and as far as possible and keep away from simple sugars, there are options around ultra low carbs and high fat similar to Atkins but in my opinion this has limited use for a bodybuilder as muscle need glycogen - which without going into great detail is normally converted from Carbohydrates.
The best way of doing this is eating whole non processed foods, I don’t eat much fruit due to the simple sugars but do eat plenty of veg. Basically you need complex carbs low GI are best, good protein sources and some good quality fats which can come from oily fish and eggs.
You don’t really say your training goals but I’ll assume your mainly after toning up and loosing fat, I would recommend at least 5 meals per day – more if you are serious about bodybuilding.
You should try and do some low impact cardio prior to your first meal as this will help burn fat reserves, half an hour walking would be a good start.
Also no alcohol!
Meal1
Choose one of the following
3 eggs anyhow but fried and two slices of wholemeal toast – no butter
100g of porridge – no sugar, or syrup or honey – fully skimmed milk or water
85gram of Muesli – fully skimmed milk or water .

If your training hard and aim to build muscle also have at least one scoop of protein powder or another 5 egg whites cooked.

Meal 2
I usually have some form of protein shake – low carb if dieting

Meal 3
Protein – either 200gram Chicken breast, 1 tin of tuna -185g size in brine not oil – same weight salmon – or mackerel etc.
As much salad as you want – no dressings and 150gram of baked potato

Meal 4
200gram chicken etc as above
50 gram dry weight of basmati rice – and fresh broccoli (basmati is lower GI than normal rice)
Assume train between meal 4 and 5
Post workout at least 50gram of protein and some carbs to replenish glycogen– build and recover is good as has excellent blend of proteins and carbs

Meal 5 –
Same options for protein source – as much veg as you want – 150gram of baked or boiled potato – no salt or gravy.

There are different options around carbohydrate sources and protein but the above is simple enough and as you learn more about it you can try different things.

Good luck,

you can always pm me if you have any specific questions....

Cheers
