Diet Discovery

I’m thinking of trying 6 meals a day and making sure to add in snacks pre and post workouts, i’m just not sure what foods to eat. Most people think I eat a lot in restaurants but I don’t think i’m eating enough. Most think I’m eating super healthy, but I don’t think I’m eating right. I’m highly athletic, and showing major signs of malnutrition. I’m always hungry right after I eat. And I eat typically 2 times a day. Every morning I eat a big jug of freshly squeezed vegetables and fruits, most days I forget lunch, and an example of dinner might be a stir fry or cheese and rice crackers or I go out since I’m usually away from home and order something healthy but not organic like I prefer. I can’t eat most dairy or any gluten. I eat raw salmon about twice a week. I don’t think I’m getting enough complex carbs, or protein, or fats in my diet. I can’t afford meat, other than salmon and shrimps and an occasional chicken. Since I’m so active how can i manage to eat enough during a day, and what should my meal plan at each meal consist of?

Minimally you should be eating three meals and three snacks. Have eggs at breakfast or rice bread toasted with peanut butter. Eat more beans – canned beans are very inexpensive, and if you can learn to cook the beans yourself from the dried beans they are even less expensive, are great protein and are very nutritious. Start making some of your own breads using a variety of the flours that you can use – almond flour, rice flour and so on. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Eat your salmon and shrimp at least 5 or 6 times a week.
