You need protein every 2-3 hours. Overall, I have 6 good sources of protein throughout the day. You need carbs also, as this is your energy for training and in general. The diet I am on, is low GI carbs and protein as a meal. I normally have some new potatoes and a 100 - 150 grams of chicken. You could also have rice, whole weat pasta and what not.

This keeps your insulin levels stable, thus allowing you to loose weight. I have three protein shakes a day, and three meals a day.

When I wake up I have a shake with oats, which is around 8. Then at 10:30 in my college break I have some chicken and rice. Then at 12:30 I have some new potatoes and chicken. Then (When I can, college can be a pain). I have a protein shake with semi-skimmed milk at 3.00. Then I have my tea after the gym which is around 5:30 depending on what time I leave the gym This is usually some new potoatoes and chicken. Then I have another protein shake at 8 with an apple.

Sometimes though, if my Mum has made home-made soup, scouse, or another special meal I'll have that instead. Kind of as a treat, but I know they are full of goodness anyway, so I don't mind. Also, if I am going somewhere and I know I'll be a while, I'll swap it round and take a shake with me, so I'm still getting my protein. That's if I can't take a carry out in my tupperware. Like if I am driving for hours, a shake is convenient.

I'd also cut out things like white bread, and replace for wholemeal. I'd scrap the fizzy drinks if you have any, and aim to drink lots of water throughout the day.

Paul, Godzilla off here gave me my diet and advice, and he's well into it all. Here is a website with a easy to understand chart with foods.
