Would this diet work for muscle gain and weight loss?

For starters, I don't really know if this makes any sense so I'm asking for someone with some more dietary knowledge to help me out.
Anyways I've been lifting weights but I'm also wanting to cut off some weight. So If I ate a good amount of calories and protein on days I work out but ate much less calories with a little protein on non-workout days would that help me achieve my result?
Thanks for any help

I have started an extreme weight loss diet and am producing abnormal amounts of diarrhea, why is this?

i eat cereal(mini wheats), protein bar and yogurt for breakfast. i eat a clif bar and yogurt for lunch. i eat a protein bat, yogurt and a small bowl of mixed fruit for dinner. in between all meals i occasionally snack on carrots. what is wrong with my diet, and is it normal to be getting extreme diarrhea once a day??? i also run 2 miles a day and do some weights.
does diarrhea contain the body fat i lost? i am averaging a pound a day lost in body fat. i use i body composition meter so i know i am loosing body fat, not just muscle mass. i am in fact gaining muscle mass with my workout.

Tips about weight loss and diet?

My goal is to lose about 15-20 pounds by the end of this summer. I know it is healthy to loose no more than 2 lbs a week. I started working out for the past 4 days, and burn approx 1,000 calories at the gym per day, along with other exercises. I also cut down completely on fast food (which I go to only at the most, once a week) and have incorporated fruits and veggies into my diet. I started drinking a lot more water. I do the elipitical for an half hour, then the stair climber for 20 minutes, I do ab crunches several times throughout my workout, the bicycle for 20 minutes, and then the elipitical for 30 minutes. Is there something I should change in my workout? Also what are some aerobic exercises that are easy to do? Finally what are foods that will help me loose weight. Should I stay away from pasta, I have heard contradicting theories on pasta and carbs, so I'm not sure if pasta contributes to weight gain or not.

What Do You Think of My Weight Loss Diet?

What do you guys think of my diet to lose fat? I generally recommend this to people:

Breakfast: Oatmeal, 1 whole egg, 1 orange, and 2-3 tablespoons of all natural peanut butter in the oatmeal (to increase healthy fat intake)

Snack: Oat bran bread and a serving of lean chicken

Lunch: Serving of lean beef/ lean chicken/fish

Snack: Either a small serving of fish, or scoop of Whey protein mixed with all natural peanut butter, water and fruit, especially if after a workout

Dinner: Serving of fish

Before bed: Cup of cottage cheese, or a scoop of casein protein
You sure? I haven't actually been able to count the grams of fat in this diet yet, I'm pretty sure that's not too much fat.
I know the protein is sufficient, I never had time to see the actual quantity of grams of fat and carbohydrates in this diet. The diet should be 30% healthy fats and 30% carbohydrates.
I know it has no vegetables, I don't want to make the carbohydrate intake too high, Vegetables aren't as necessary as most people believe.

They only provide micronutrients (vitamins/minerals). If you are having fruits and a multivitamin then you should be fine.
Kmsca-It really doesn't matter much how you cook the egg, you could make a sunny side up. Also, you should use extra virgin olive oil, that's a healthy oil.

This is basically the diet I gave you, don't know if you noticed, lol. Like I said, make sure you calculate everything, I haven't had the time to calculate myself, so I'm not sure if the diet meets my exact recommendations, my diet was just an approximation with examples.
Thanks Pat, other than that you think the amount of fat is good for a 1,900 to 2,000 calorie diet?

Is this a good weight loss/diet plan?

I would like to lose 15-20 pounds. I also work and go to school and have limited free time and don't like gyms.
Go jogging for 1 hour twice per week.
Do cardio workout video 5x/wk and abs video 5x/wk.
Walk up 5 flights of stairs per day instead of taking elevator at work.
Drink at least 3 bottles of water per day.
Limit soda to 3x per week.
Drink juice or water with dinner.
Maintain any diet of no more than 1200 calories per day and 1500 on weekends.
Btw, I love to cook and usually make pretty well balanced meals, my issue has been portion control. If its on my plate I have a very hard time throwing it out.
Thank you!
