My Nutrition

[oneheart]

Trying to get my nutitional balance just right so that I can build muscle but still get everything else I need.

Right now I'm taking the following steps.

One formula I looked at said i needed 109 grams of protien a day. I was 161 pounds, does this sound right?

I'm getting this through meats, trying to stay mostly towards fish, and one to three glasses of whey protien that contain about 28 grams per serving.

Most of the rest of my diet is carbs. I found it very difficult to try and eat five fruits and vegetables a day and decided it would be easier to get this in liquid form so I've been switching servings out between V8 (original vegetable) and various pure fruit juices.

I also take one centrum performance multivitamin a day.

Am I doing things right? Wrong? Suggestions?

I would only eat carbs before I work out like 2 hours before and I eat about 20-40 grams of carbs before I work out, then right after I work out and shower I eat about 50-60 grams of protein, plus a few snacks here and their.

A good breakfast I eat before I work out is

Bowl of cereal ranges from 20-50 grams of crabs (Oatmeal squares= 44 grams of carbs

cup of light yogurt About 10 grams of carbs

half a toasted english muffin (10 g carbs)

Thats a total of 64 carbs

Yesterday I lifted weights for an hour, swam for an hour and ran on the treadmill for an hour / elliptical

After that I ate

15 oz of tuna = 30 g protein

20 almonds = 12 g protein

one protein bar = 20 g protein

= 62 g protein, and for dinner I usually just eat a turkey or chicken sandwich on a flour wrap, I get about 16 g protein from the turkey or chicken and only 17 g carb from the wrap.
