Answer 1

You need to eat yogurt,and get more calcium. I recommend eating some veggie-mex for a little while, get some more cheese and beans in your diet for protein.

Also try some trail mix bars lots of fiber and energy.

Answer 3

ok, to start, you need to make sure you have a nourishing breakfast with wholegrains for sustained energy and fibre, try wholewheat toast and a wholegrain cereal with seeds, and walnuts and fruit on it. also have a boiled egg.you could also premake some waffles made from oats, banana and milk etc.

for lunch premake some sandwiches with a lentil or chickpea or nut patty on it with salad, follow with an orange to help deliver the iron easier from the salad.  (the patties u can make in advance and store in the freezer. u could also premake other nourishing meals on your day off and freeze.)

for dinner keep it light, some soup or something, or a healthy dessert and fruit. eating large meals before bed piles on the weight, it is not ideal for the body.

Avoid snacking, it is very bad for u. snacking is habit more than anything, or a symptom of hypoglycemia which is caused from a refined diet, so u get sugar cravings, feel weak and nervous and panicky if u dont have that snack. if u get into eating right without refined foods, the feeling like u need a snack with diminish and those needs for snacks will go. however until u get to that stage before u can go without snacking, nust are best for energy.

for drinks, only consume water, thats all the body requires, having juices etc are very high in sugar and u will never get off the cycle u want to get off, it will keep feeding your bidy sugar, and thus keep craving it. sugar is like a drug

Answer 4

Start to eat fat free soup, or salads. That is what I would probably eat. And I would say for energy have some vitamin water. And you know every once in awhile you could have something with fat in it.

Answer 5

I am choosing to comment on drinks only:

I suggest drinking lots of homemade smoothies with fresh fruits and yogurt (you can use soygurt as well) and if you want a soda have one but have a good one I suggest Virgils Real Cola (I tried it a few months ago and fell in love with it as it is real cola with actual cola nut) if you have a natural soda free of artificials then you are not doing as much harm to your body or to the earth and not eating what you want sucks. I also suggest lots of good juices especially those with Açaí berries (they not only taste great but are outrageously high in antioxidants)

Answer 6

I'm on the same sad schedule...

A typical day for me:

6am - soy milk chai latte, maybe some fruit

9am - banana and a handful of almonds

noon - bowl of low fat soup (big on tomato these days) maybe some beans for a little protein, an orange and maybe something sweet like a granola bar

3pm -  more almonds, fruit

dinner - whole wheat pasta, steamed veggies, maybe some tofu - wine

if you eat eggs, try having two for breakfast - gives you alot of energy and keeps you full longer

swap out the coke for flavored water, low cal juice or tea, soda causes a sugar rush - which gives you alot of energy for a bit, then you "crash" and get more tired - which makes you want another soda...

the main key to keeping your energy up is low-fat protein (eggs, low-fat meat (like chicken breast, if you eat it) cheeses and nuts.

Answer 7

As an endurance athlete I can suggest some things.

I find that oatmeal for breakfast works well for me.  You can add vegetables to your oatmeal too such as frozen peas and using quick oats makes for a fast meal.

Eat fruit between meals or dried fruit such as organic apricots, and drink lots of water all day (but not during or immediately after meals).

Try baked yams for lunch.  You can put some flax oil on them, and that tastes great to me.

Dinner... well, eat what you like.

Pasta, rice, and veggies or whatever.
