TheDailyPlate isn't so great. Kane made a fun discovery on there the other day. Look up a grilled cheese sandwich and look at the protein count and tell me if you think that site is accurate

Try something like nutritiondata.com or fitday.com


And just through a glance at your total numbers, you're eating a freaking TON of sugar! If those numbers are anywhere close to accurate, you need to back off on that crap.

How much sugar should I limit myself too? I read about protein and getting about 1.5g/lb of lean body weight but I couldn't find anything that said where my sugar or carbs should be at.

Thanks for the help, I need it.

Typically as little sugar as possible. Your body doesn't need it so the closest to none you're the better. I won't argue with PWO but I don't even take in sugar in my PWO. My theory is as long as your preworkout nutrition is in order there's no need to take all that sugar in PWO but that's debatable.

Typically a 40p/40c/20f ratio is okay but that can vary per person. Looking at it though I'm think you should add something like a cup of oats, whole wheat bread, sweet potato pre workout. Your sources of carbs preworkout right now lead me to believe that's the reason you're running low on energy.
