Something like this...

Porridge
2 egg whites
[Gym]
Fruit
Tuna
Rice cakes
Meat n vegies (sometimes with rice)
[Pool]
Fruit

But the last part alternates each day with higher carbs - rice. It takes me ages to digest brown rice so I'm finding I can't eat two days in a row.

Spices I'm meant to eat a lot of are turmeric, parsley and ginger so things are still tasty. Pretty sick of rice cakes and tuna though!

Um... maybe?

Think I'm still not getting enough carbs in, I was low on energy at hockey last night. I'm only really getting protein in the middle of the day so I should probably spread that out a bit.

BFB,
I'd agree. The morning meals seem to be a weak point.
How did you fell generally (eg, attitude, out look, energy, optimism etc)?

mostly like a million bucks... energy started lagging around 3:30pm, didn't get any food in until about 5:30 and obviously wasn't enough to deal with both the deficit and the training for the evening. Mental stuff remained fine throughout. I think maybe my body's starting to get used to getting and burning more fuel and is becoming more efficient at it. I'm definitely feeling more and more appetite as time goes on.

That sounds good.
I'd suggest getting more calories in the mornings. Just Right could be improved upon. As could the fruit (fructose) and museli bar (sugar, read the label).
Stocking up on lower GI carb sources early in addition to increasing your protein should further improve you.

health freaks...
nah,this is great reading.
jsut though i'd through in what i'm doing,if thats ok

this thread has helped me eat more and better,i've been going to the gym 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks.
already i have noticed my leg strength a lot stronger when i fin swim(probably due to the high reps im doing in the gym), down side is that my muscles are probably gonna get cut as apposed to bulkyer,im 6 foot one and i need a bit of bulk.
i have noticed a bit firmer,esp the chest and legs,lacking on my frontal shoulders.
i'm stronger on my grip of my stick and feel stonger on impact.
but i'm still boney in areas of the upper body.
last night i ate a plate of pasta at 7pm,had taining at 8.30,just before training i ate loads of sugary sour jellies.
well i felt like a million dollars in training.
still eating a lot of sugar,its so hard.

i'm eating more or less

8am poridge large cup(mug)
2 slides of extra whole grain pumpkin seed bread(toasted)
tin of tuna,banana
mid snack 2 more slices of whole meal bread(tin of tuna)
lunch (pasta and salad)
snak 4 pm energy bar or protein bar
7pm plate of pasta
jelly beans just before training
after training 10.30 fruit and tuna.and a protein drink.
(sometimes i'll have pasta late at night)
i'm also easting chocolates during the day
2 cups of tea also.

my diet is a bit all over the place,some days i eat good others not so good,i guess i need to stuff more pasta in there.

training 8 -10 hours a week,sleeping average 7 hours per day

i'm also taking carnitine,i'm thinking of taking creatine,i have taken it in the past and i have bulked up quite a lot.
