that is somewhat of a bad diet routine suggestion adam. the whole "3 meals a day" thing is complete, total, bullshit.

you cannot eat that small amount of food you suggested, over 3 meals, and avoid the feeling of hunger. sure, you're right about eating healthy foods, but like i said, the timing in which you're suggesting is wrong.

ideally a person should consume at least 5 meals a day, obviously smaller portioned. the more you can spread your food intake throughout the day, the better. this will help raise metabolism (burn calories) as it forces your digestive system to work more, which requires energy (calories) to operate.

so as far as "when, and how frequent i should eat" is concerned... eat immediately once you feel the first signs of hunger, and eat enough to sufficiently satisfy that need (don't gorge), and you'll be fine.

and when you suggest an exercise routine, it better include both resistance training and cardio training. resistance training helps build muscle, which raises the metabolism (as muscle requires more energy (calories) to operate) which helps eliminate excess fat - and cardio is a given.
