Not to knock your trainer or anything but your protein is seriously low and your carbs are quite high...as a male you should also have 6 meals not five...you might want to discuss that with her. The meal plan you posted would even be too low in protein for a female.

I think shes trying to see how my body will react to eating such little. I am not 100% sure but like I said I trust her so I will follow it.

Well instead of waiting to find out here is the jist of the matter...with inadequate protein (amino acids) your body will drop muscle tissue. Trying to see how your body will react....that should be a given gained through experience. Again I am not knocking your trainer but i just see some serious red flags popping up and the question "why" should be foremost on your mind.

I guess so I will have to ask her when I see her next.

As P sed protein may be a bit on the low side. I had it at around 140-150g. Not a big deal your coach will adjust shes prolly seeing whats going to happen to see how ur body reacts. Im going to guess tho she will be upping you to prolly 60z portions instead of ur 4.2Oz currently.

Well today I decided to sleep in because it was a day off. Went and played about 40 min of ice hockey to get the legs going. Arms will be tomorrow morning and I looking forward to that.

My meals this past week have been 100% the same. I am feeling pretty good right now and getting use to eating very little.
