What I meant was can you break that down into some kind of daily plan, so I can see how it all pans out, because things like Chicken, Nuts, Fruit etc is all good and well, but I can't really see how things slot together at the moment.

Thanks.

(Give the Banana about 10-15 minutes to start digesting, so it's not impeded by the other food too much.

I'd include one of those boiled Eggs you eat later in here for more Protein)


between then and lunch i ate a can of beans

(Good enough)

lunch consisted of and sandwich with only turkey on 12 grain whole weat bread,

(Good enough)

the next snack i had 3 hard boiled eggs (no yoke)

(Have the remaining Eggs, but perhaps make a sandwich with them, or alternatively have other things instead like Low Fat Cheese, a sizeable portion of Peanuts, or perhaps some kind of Chicken and Rice microwave ready meal, Pea and Ham Soup, as examples.)

dinner im having skinless grilled chicken breasts with no skin and veggies

(good enough)

Best of luck. I hope you don't lose(and hopefully gain) strength during your journey.
