Meal Planning

I realized that I need to fully plan my meals the day before. That way I will get the proper number of calories/protein in for the day. So, you'll start seeing part of my postings the day before the actual day. If I deviate from the food plan, I will modify the posting. Also, I'll update the exercise section as well as notes for the day on the actual day.

My goals for food are going to be 1100-1300 calories and at least 100g of protein. Other goals will be to get in 1-2 fruits per day as well as several servings of vegetables. I am interested in a decently high fiber diet (although I will not specifically track that) as well as a relatively low fat diet (although the "good" fats are important).

Also, you'll see more complex carbohydrates in the meal after a workout (especially running). I've read that they aid in muscle recovery.

If anyone has any comments regarding my ideas for meal planning, please feel free to post. I'm hoping that this change in diet will help take me to the next level.
