Five meals a day keeps the doctor away.

Wed:

Breakfast 9am, home: Eggs, whole wheat toast, kiwi, protein shake, Daily supplements (fish oils, D, Bs) -- Trying to get back onto my five meal a day diet this year. Putting on weight so I need all the protein I can get (130g/day). Trying to get around 3-4k cal/day.
Snack 12.30, school: Apple, cliff bar (peanut butter and chocolate) -- Carb, fruit and some protein to make it through to lunch
Lunch 2.15, school: Salomi sandwich with peppers and an olive spread -- A little high in sodium, but it works well in combination with my workouts. Protein, carbs.
Snack 4, class: Jamba Juice (Peanut butter mood and protein sup) -- Protein intake and roughly 1k cal
Dinner 7, home: Salmon (sauteed with low sodium soy sauce), rice and dried nori. Protein shake and two glasses of milk. -- Good fish oils, protein, calcium

Thurs:
Breakfast 8.30, home: Oatmeal, whole wheat toast, banana, protein shake. Daily supplements (fish oils, D, Bs) -- Oatmeal <3. Whole wheat always good when available, fruit and my protein intake and daily sups (I hear they're good for you!)
Snack 12.30, school: Protein bar (don't remember brand) -- Protein and get through to lunch
Lunch 2.15, school: Pasta dish with marinara sauce, red/yellow peppers, penne and sausage. -- Carbs but still has some meat for protein. I brought this from home.
Dinner 6, friend's appt: Pizza (mom and pop shop and I was with a friend :p): fresh mots, tomatoes, artichokes, olives red sauce. -- Friend treated me to a meal but she picked a good pizza with a lot of great stuff on it. Low on grease, 'twas good.
Late night snack 12.30, home: Protein shake, pasta with linguine, shrimp and Alfredo sauce. -- I was getting hungry again when I got home so I made some food, courtesy of Bertollis brand.



Fri:
Breakfast 9, home: Smart Start cereal, banana, protein shake. Daily supplements (fish oils, D, Bs) -- Low on time today so I went with cereal, but still got in my fruit, protein and sups.
Snack: Skipped today (slept in :( ) -- Woops
Lunch 11.15: Meal at United Noodle (you should check it out for authentic Chinese/Japanese cuisine): Pork, rice, pickled ginger, mushrooms, tea -- No really, this place is awesome so go check it out. Right off of 94 on the West Bank.
Snack 3, at work: Apple with peanut butter, Mochi with red bean paste. -- Needed something at work to keep me over until dinner. Peanut butter added a bit of sustenance to my apple and the mochis I had purchased from United Noodle.

Dinner 9, at home: Gyoza (pot-stickers), rice, strawberries, glass of milk, protein shake -- Stopped by my moms house and my grandma had made some Gyoza for me to take home. I just made some rice when I got to my house and added in my fruit, protein and calcium.

  1. Can I come eat with YOU? How do you find time to make all this good stuff?

  2. It has been very difficult and my lack of structure over spring break has caused my regimen to suffer. I think the only reason that I can maintain it during school (along with work) is that I know how to plan each day out so I can prepare stuff in advance and make sure I squeeze in meals when I need them. I'm just hoping I can keep it going through the summer; we shall see!
