Need Diet Recommendations – 30yr vegeterian male?
Height: 5″6′ (66 inches)
Cholestrol count: 160 (with good/bad ratio in the desired range)
Background: Have always been a vegeterian and have never had fish, eggs (except in cakes, pastries etc). But I like dairy products (milk and cheese).
Current diet:
Breakfast – Post (Almond) cereals 3 days a week, Glass of milk everyday, Banana 3-4days/week
Lunch: Home made wheat bread with cooked vegetables (4 days a week), Fast food Quiznos/TacoBell (3 days a week)
Dinner: Rice with Lentil soup (3 days a week), Cooked vegetables (2 days a week), Pizza/other food (2 days a week)
Before sleeping: Another glass of milk.
And I average 1.5 cans of coke/sprite every day. .
Being a vegeterian I have been recently concerned about lack of protein intake. My friend recently recommended Whey Protein supplement and I just started with Optimum Nutrition’s Whey Protein powder.
I do not exercise regularly.
Need recommendations on what to add/change to diet.
I forgot to mention in the original post that I also feel low on energy in the mornings and after dinner. I would like recommendations on improving energy levels through diet in addition to starting on a regular exercise routine.
