Introduction!

Hi everyone!

I've been reading you guys for a while now... but in silence! Main reason is : I'm french and my english is not that good so I'm always worry I'll make an ton of mistakes.

A little about me : I'm a woman and I workout 5 to 6 times a week.

On my ''things to do before I die'' list : competing in a figure competition! I love the fitness division but I have no gymnastic background...

I look forward learning from all of you!

Long story, quick question :
Since two weeks, I'm following a meal and workout plan I found in a magazine. Looks like this:
M1: 3 egg whites, 2oz fat free turkey, 1/2 cup oatmeal
M2 : 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup red pepper, 2 corn tortillas
M3 : 4oz chicken, 4 oz potato, 1 cup broccoli
M4 : 1 scoop whey, 1 apple, 1 tbsp peanut butter
M5 : 4oz turkey, 1 cup broccoli, 1tbsp olive oil, mixed green salad, 1tbsp balsamic vinegar
M6 : 1 scoop whey, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1tbsp ground flaxseeds
Approx : 1650 cals, 180g protein, 142,5g carbs, 41g fat

I can't eat turkey first thing in the morning (makes me want to puke!) so I replaced it with protein powder in my oatmeal. The plan ask for whey but I use Isolate. Is it a problem?

My goal for the rest of summer is to lose a few pounds (I already have lost 15 in the past few months) but I really want to maintain the amount of muscle I have right now.
A few months ago I was 142 pounds (28% bodyfat)....
Right now I'm 127 pounds (don't know my %BF) (I'm 5'6''1/2)

Are the macros/cals OK with my goal?

Welcome. You'll probably get more responses if you start a new thread and copy/paste what you typed into it. If I could make one suggestion I'd say don't be afraid of egg yolks. If it doesn't fit into your diet than no big deal but in my opinion whole eggs are great.
