Breakfast options for a female?

[nicopa]

Okay so I've started to do strength training for about 3 weeks now 4x a week and cardio 6x a week. I'm not exactly sure how much to eat through out the day and what. I don't know what to eat fro breakfast and how much fruits carbs( carbs before and after workout? in the morning? carbs on cardio days only?), protien etc, to see results. My goal would be to get leaner and be more cut and defined. I'm 5'9" 135 pounds and I'm 20 years old. PLEASE HELP!!! haha

 

Here's a sample of what I eat now:

 

Breakfast:

2/3 cup High fiber cereal (80 cal, 3gram protein, 9 gram fiber) with half banana, blueberries and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

 

before workout: a bite of a larabar

post workout: Boku super protein with half a banana, cinnamon, almond milk, and ice. another bite of larabar.

 

lunch: a big salad with sunflower seeds, avocado, tomato, olive oil and balsamic.

 

snack: 1 cup kidney beans with basil olive oil, lemon juice salt and pepper.

 

dinner: chocolate Vega Complete whole food health optimizer, 1 1/2 cup almond milk, half banana,cup blueberries, 1tblsp almond butter and ice.

 

What do you think I should add/eliminate?

I love oatmeal for breakfast. It fills me up, and gives me fuel for most of the day!

I have almost the same meal you do for dinner except I do it for breakfast--that way I get the largest calorie content in the morning plus all the nutrients I need.

 

I see a lot of fruit which covers the carbs, but not much in the way of veggies. May I suggest more veggies to fill you up?

What do you think I should add/eliminate?

It seems to me you have very complicated diet. And almost no carbs in it. Go simple. Juste add more fruit, cooked whole grains, legumes

eliminate: supplements - why taking them?

if you want to be cut, eliminate all fats.

This is my absolute favorite salad and one of my favorite meals, so good!

Except maybe add some carrots and cucumber for me.

That salad sounds so good... I'm going to make that soon.
