Hi FlyNike

3 egg whites is only 9 grams of protein. You'd be better off ditching the coconut oil and having whole eggs, which are more nutritious and have twice the protein - presto, 18 grams of protein instead of 9 and no waste!

You may want to try a more concentrated fish oil capsule and only have one or two - Reflex 'Omega 3' is the most concentrated one for the money by far that I can find. Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are better than BCAAs before training.

...and as discussed before, the creamer may be adding substantial extra calories to your diet.
