Hi...I wanted to take the time to tell what I eat and why... Everyday I eat the same thing at the same time:

Breakfast: 2 egg whites and 1 whole wheat toast (ezekiel bread)

Snack: 1 cup cereal (joe's o's or Flaux whole grain); 1 cup fat free milk (lactose); 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein (VPX zero carb)

Lunch: 1 whole wheat bread (ezekiel); 2 slices chicken lunch meat (99% fat free); 1/2 slice tomato; some spinach leaves; and a little mustard

Dinner: 2 whole wheat bread (ezekiel); 3 chicken tenders (99% fat free, broiled); 1 slice swiss chees (lactose); 2 slice tomato, and spinach leaves

Snack: 1 whole wheat toast (ezekiel); 1/2 tbs. sugar free jelly; 1 cup tea (caffein free Refresh mint)

Now let me explain: I am hypgycemic so I can't eat any sugar what so ever... I eat the same thing because it is easy for me and I enjoy it! I am at 4% body fat right now and weigh 100 pounds. I run 3 days a week and lift weights 3 days a week and take one day off. As you can tell I live for fitness...

WoW, that is too bad that you can't have ANY sugar! It obviously must be very restrictive. Do you have a "cheat day" during the week? Also, do you feel hungry?

no I don't really have cheat days and I don't feel hungry...Even if I could have sugar I wouldn't because it is so bad for you and I have fitness goals...so I am very motivated to stay on track with my work-outs and nutrition. As for cheating...I go out to eat once and while Indian or Thai but eat small portions and know how to order things with no sugar...I also know the calories, fats, and carbs that are in everything I eat...I keep track of it in a log.

I came up with this menu by chance actually... I just found something that really worked for me and have stuck with it Eating the smaller meals has really helped by keeping my blood sugar levels stabel so I don't have any crazy spikes and am able to have crazy energy all day... I tend to work-out between breakfast and snack... I know that what I do and the way I work-out and eat no one else would be able to do... at least not on a permanent basis...most would just eat and train the way I do for a certain race or season..but for me it is how I choose to live. I enjoy it and like I said I love pushing limits...I just really want to find either a club or someone to train with for marathons..I want to be pushed harder and I know that I can.

Before my work-outs I take no-xplode by BSN it is sugar free and it gives me plenty of fuel. I can't take any of those shot things and after the work-outs I have the cereal with milk and protein powder... so it all works out just perfectly For example... I am running in the great race on April 5th and I won't eat breakfast before I will just take the no-xplode drink mix and then run and after the run I will have my 2 egg whites and 1 whole wheat toast which will be in  a lunch pale with my parents at the finish line I always think ahead and plan out every day exactly...I am a creature of nature and I am like I said before obsessed with fitness and nutrition and pushin the limits.

What a great thread! I am currently trying to get together a meal plan for me that will fit me good. My biggest issue is that I feel hungry all the time and so then I eat what I shouldn't so I'm going to go grocery shopping and buy the things that would be good for me. So I was curious do you guys stay away from carbs?

I am new to the "fueling" my muscles for running but have noticed that what i eat affects how i run.  I eat lots of fruits and vegetables but have often wondered if i am eating too much of them.  Honestly, as long as it is a fruit or vegetable i don't really limit my serving sizes. 

Do you think i should limit  the ammount of fruits & vegetables OR eat as much as i can.

Note: i am talking straight fruits and vegetables --  I do not add butter, dressing, etc....
