How to cater this diet to MORNING workouts before work...

ad

I put on some body fat this Fall thanks to hip surgery :( I'm ready to get back into shape.

Here is my diet plan for 6 weeks to get down to 10-12% body fat (I'm currently at 16-17%) before I even go NEAR my next cycle. I don't go near any cycles unless I'm already feeling good about myself, training hard and eating well...

My day job is pretty stressful and after 7pm I'm exhausted. So early morning 6am workouts are the only real option for me.

Here is my diet plan at least for Week 1 (I do some carb manipulations in later weeks), but the pattern is very similar. How do I tailor it for MORNING workouts? Please let me know if you have any suggestions?

Week 1

Breakfast
2 whole eggs
4 egg whites
1 cup Kashi Go Lean Cereal
1 cup low-fat milk
Late-morning snack
1 scoop whey protein
1 medium banana
1 Tbsp. peanut butter

Lunch
1 can white tuna
2 slices whole-wheat bread
1 Tbsp. fat-free mayonnaise

Midday snack
10 oz. fresh spinach
1/4 cup oatmeal
3 hard-boiled eggs
2 Tbsp. olive oil/vinegar dressing
Pre-workout snack
1 scoop whey protein
1 large apple

Post-workout snack
2 scoops whey protein
12 oz. Gatorade
20 Gummi Bears (Haribo)

Dinner
9 oz. tilapia
1 cup brown rice
10 oz. green beans
Nighttime snack
1 scoop casein protein

Judging by your stats, seems like you're in a caloric surplus....
