TALO, you are abosolute right about the whole "eating well" thing. I started to write down a typical daily diet for me and well, maybe its not as good as I initially thought it was. Here is a pretty typical dailly diet:
Morning (6:30 - 7:00 am)
- 1 serving of oatmeal with raisins
- toast/english muffin/plain bagel with peanut butter
- 1 to 2 glasses of 2% milk
- Banana/Apple/Kiwi/ or some other convenient, portable fruit
- Power Bar if for some reason I skip the majority of breakfast
- I usually take a Powerbar or Zone bar with me because the next time I will get to eat is around 1:15 pm or so.
Workout (Noon)(Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri)
Lunch (1:15 or so)
- I eat whatever is in the Dining Center that day at school (NDSU). They have quite a variety to choose from, so I try to eat clean calories and carbs and proteins. Rice, poultry, fish, lean beef, etc. I just kinda grab what they have that specific day with a glass or two of milkjuice. They tend to have a wide range of good things to eat. So Im thinking I wont need much help here.
Dinner (around 6:00 pm)
- Main course will either be poultry/fish/beef/venison
- Vegetables or some kind (for nutrients really)
- Some kind of carbs (rice/bread/pasta)
- cottage cheese
- glass or two of milk/water
This is where Im pretty much stuck as far as diet goes. That will conclude my main meals and then I will just grab a snack or two (not junk though) till I go to bed around 11:00 pm or Midnight. I have a very fast metabolic rate and sadly, my appetite isn't that great either. Maybe I can train that too? I dont think Im reaching the 3000 calorie intake that I'd like to be at.
I've seen a spreadsheet type program that you can track the calorie, protein, fat, carbs and such that you eat in a day. Aswell as workout routines, weight, notes and all kinds of things. I've seen it referenced on this forum at leat a couple times too.
As a college student trying to get into Dental School, its tough to keep a strict schedule of diet and calorie intake alongside the rigorous homework and such. Sucks.
I think I need help in the food area though. I will take a look at the stickies that have been mentioned in a lot of previous threads when it comes to a question about "what should I eat" type of thing. Any input here is greatly appreciated though.
By the way, I did not include any supplementation to any of that above, so feel free to throw in some advice as to when/how I should be taking certain supplements if needed.
