Can anyone help? I was told I should alternate my calorie intake so I’m not eating the same thing everyday.I was losing consistently until a few weeks ago, so I wondered if I was eating too much.
I eat 6 meals/day.
6-7 cardio/weight training
8:00 Whey shake (16oz=356 20g protein)
10:00 Metabolic Drive bar
12:00 4oz grilled turkey/chicken w/veggies
2:00 yogurt w/1/2 c cottage cheese
5:00 4oz fish w/veggies
7:00 Metabolic Drive, 4 almonds

Nothing to eat before your workout?? Bad idea unless you are doing low intensity fasted cardio only.
Any carbs in your PWO shake? Maybe add a piece of fruit with the shake.
Where are the healthy fats? EVOO, flax meal, fish oil, natural peanut butter, avocado, etc. 4 almonds is not nearly enough.
What does this total - how many grams of P, C & F? You might want to consider getting 1g/lb bodyweight in protein, .5b/lb in healthy fats and the rest comes from complex carbs.
I agree with what others have said. You definitely need to eat before your workout, add carbs to your PWO (have you tried Surge yet?), and increase the good fats. A couple of simple ways to do this is to pour some olive oil on the veggies you have for dinner and take fish oil caps.
