First off, relax man. I'm not kidding anyone. I am really glad to read that jmill wants to lose his fat and start on a healthy lifestyle. While I'd be happier hearing he was going to have an english muffin and a hard boiled egg wityh his fruit for breakfast, it won't kill him just to have the fruit. If you don't think there are calories in a pbj, you should check out your smuchers and jiffy. My strawberry jelly has 50 calories in one tbs, and my peanut butter has 95 calories in one tbs - 70 of those calories are from fat. It also has 3.5 grams of protien.
"..then for dinner whatever my mom cooks." I'll bet you five bucks that mom makes him a decent dinner. I'll bet he gets a serving of meat (hopefully lean meat), some veggies (you need 5-9 servings a day), and probably some carbohydrates (bread, cheese, milk, veggies, fruits, etc.) all in this one sitting.
From what he said, we have no idea how many calories he is taking in. I'll bet you another five bucks that he won't let himself starve to death.

good luck gaining muscle on this routine.

Calipers pinch!
Just as a reminder to those who want a good diet:
-About 30 to 50% of the diet should contain good (there are the good kinds of carbohydrates that you find in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that are crucial to your health)carbohydrates (low carbohydrate intake can lead to loss of brain function and energy).
- To build muscle during a strength-training program requires you to eat .60 to .82 gram of protein per pound of body weight. If you weight 200 lbs., for example, you should be taking in 120 to 164 grams of protein a day.
-A diet should contain as much as 40% of fat, with most (if not all of it) mono saturated.
-A healthy person should have six to eight 8-ounce glasses a day of water. An active person should drink more. If you feel thirsty, you’re already slightly dehydrated.
-It is of vial importance to get vitamins in food, not pills, because food contains other substances that either make vitamins work better or provide beneficial effects all their own.
