Lol, the way i see it is anything sold over the counter cannot be bought in quantities big enough to kill you, so if i double up then i should be ok 
I stick needles in my arse for fucks sake, like im going to stick to the recommended doses of anything

I knew I remembered him posting about carbs at breakfast.
Going to leave mine as it is I think. Will mean over twice the amount they recommend in the first phase (about 90-100g compared to 40g) but I dont think its too bad if they are both between breakfast and PWO.
I'll cut the 15g that came from the protein bars as going to get that protein via meat now and not those shitting things

The diet may not be wrong tbh, but your estimate on calories may well be
My protein bar has 250 calories, and post work out drink 297
Each protein amount in the diet (7 servings) is said to contain 100 calories each, dairy 120 each, fruit 100, veg, 50 each, fats 120, carbs 200, and condiments, 50 each
Looking through your diet again you may have mis calculated your calories, seems like more than 1300 to me

Ive gone off actual figures on packets, not their general figures.
What I did was use their list but then made my own using the Tesco online store (it shows what they have so I know it will be there and it shows nutrition values). That way I could work out exactly what Im having.
Their portion sizes are roughly 1 protein = 20g, 1 carbs = 40g.

Main reason I did that is because the stupid 'cups' were annoying me. so decided to work it out properly in grams or whatever size I actually knew and was on the packets!

I agree, a cup can mean anything, i have a cup of making a brew in here that would damn sure not lose me any weight

You can get an online converter for cup to metric, but the exact conversion depends on the density of the item, etc.

2 chicken breasts with BBQ sauce and lettuce and tomato. Either 20g of peanut butter, or a big handful of nuts.

Tea
Wholegrain pasta, chicken breast, brocolli and carrots with light mayo
Before bed
Cottage cheese + whey blended with 20g peanut butter with water and ice.

What time are you having your tea? and how long is it after you workout. You should have a protein and carb meal an hour after you train, but if your having it a couple of hours after and an hour before bed you need to drop the carbs or bring it closer to your workout.
I made a few tweaks, 2 servings of EFA's from nuts or nut butter (nut butter having the most even blend of all 3 fats) at the meals where you had no carbs. I also tossed out the dried fruit, as its pretty much pure sugar, and the yoghurt will have anywhere between 10-18g of sugar in it too so to balance out the yoghurt you need some protein to raise its GI.
I also gave you a pre bed meal, it doesnt have to be exactly that but its worth doing with the same amount of macronutrients as the casein protein before bed benefits a lot for recovery and growth. Cottage cheese it pretty much fat and sugar free too.
Also, the bbq sauce you put on your chicken, make sure it doesnt have any high fructose corn syrup, or HFCS or equivalent in it as this stuff is pure bodyfat enhancing so stay well clear! id maybe ditch the morning juice for either wholemeal toast or 50g of oats too.

the pre bed shake sounds bit grim would probably swap cottage cheese for casein powder - probably cheaper too! not critising just suggesting!

Just finished Day 1
Fuck that was hard!!! did anyone else struggle on the 2nd part? i was managing 5-7 chin ups in the first part was was striggling to do 1 or 2 on the second part.
Feel quite disapointed that i wasn't able to maintain the pace throughout.
I collasped a couple of times during the press ups!!!
i dont feel to bad now, but i dont think i should of eaten tea 45 minutes before starting
I'll see how i get on this week and may treat this as a test run if no one else has expereinced the problems above!!
I really need to quit smoking!!!

I guess it isn't recommended to stick to the same diet plan like above everyday, is it good to have a bit of variation?
I will look into doing 3 or 4 day meal plans then and alternate between them

What Im doing is having a basic meal plan, and then making set meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner that fit in with the plan.
