Hi guys, so I've been thinking about some things in health and fitness, and I'm just looking to get some opinions on what you guys think.

Currently this is my daily routine

7:00am - wake up, have some cereal/fruit + protein shake
10:00am - Rice dish with chicken/kidney beans (I call it burrito guts)
12:30pm - Various balanced meal
3:00pm - fruit and protein shake
6:00pm (pre workout meal) - usually i try to get a big meal, like steak and potato, chicken and rice etc.
7:30pm - pre workout supplement
7:45pm -gym
9:30pm - (post workout meal) - protein shake/fruit or sometimes i cook double my pre workout meal and have that
11:00pm - approx bed time

So my thoughts here are, during my working hours from 8-6, I'm starving, i need to eat those meals, but for leaning out I'm thinking of just cutting out my pre and post workout meals, and/or make my pre workout meal just a banana and shake. The reason being is this is the easiest time for me to somewhat 'fast' although I'm not sure if this is a good idea because from what i know, pre and post meals are essential.

Does this seem like a very stupid idea? or can fasting before/after gym time be somewhat beneficial? It seems like it goes against everything I've learned, but may be the easiest way for me to loose a few lbs
