schedule from monday - friday goes something like this
day generally starts at either 9 or 9-30.
9(30): instant oatmeal and a hard boiled egg white or cereal with soy milk and the egg.
10-10:30 -- multivitamin
12(30): this one varies but i have another egg white here. natural peanut butter and (natural) jelly. chicken and some vegetables like broccoli and green beans. or even just a cheese wrap.
3(30): varies from the same thing as 12(30) to having fat free yogurt and strawberries or something.
6(30): protein shake (GOLD'S) should i take this with water or milk?i drink soy milk.
7(30): whatever mom makes for dinner. mom's awesome and keeps mostly everything healthy.
sometimes i have some cereal or something before i go to bed.. maybe an hour and a half or so before i go to bed.
i just try to keep the meals healthy.
i think that's everything. i drink plenty of water everyday. the weekends are different because saturday or sunday i have a little food pleasure satisfying time. but in moderation of course. the other weekend day i have as a normal diet day. it's hard to just stop eating certain things cold turkey. does anyone have suggestions about making diet better? i'm not sure what to do.
need some help on diet

- not 10000% but aren't multi's better taken with food? might be wrong
- wraps aren't great stick with the first option but add some fruit in there
- no fruit after meal 2
- try and have actual solid protein over yoghurt, they contain plenty of carbs we don't need here
- i have whet with water as i have a big bowl of cerial with it too so i don't have a milk overload
- you need to add some carbs to post workout meal unless your shake has some
- solid protein and veg / sdalad only before bed and maybe some added helthy fats, not cerial
- as long as 90% of your meals come from your plan here, than a cheat meal or 2 won't do anything...a whole day of cheating though is silly and will only off set your weekday good work...i used to do sprints on a saturday when i was training 3/week so if i did slip up which you'll do on the weekend more so i think, it's not as bad

ok, thanks swanso.
how many carbs would be needed post-workout? shake has 3g carbs. would something like toasted oats (like cheerios) and a banana be good along with it. or does the no fruit after #2 principle stay?
instead of yogurt would salad be good with some meat. kind of like a chicken salad? i was also wondering about cheeses. because fat content seemed kind of high.
i've read alot about sprints and they seem to be better for stripping down the body fat than long runs (that i usually do). i usually use a treadmill. at what speed should be considered a sprint and how long/often should i do them?
thanks again a great deal.

- depends how big you are but genrally 60 - 80g will do
- cheerios would be good but leave out the banana
- salad would be great
- cheese is alright in moderation but get a good low fat one...fats are essential though
- sprints are done best outside...the pace of a sprint? as fast as you can onviously which is why they're better outside...5 x 50m is a good place to start 1/week
