What are your training goals,  for what purpose other than to look and feel good are you working out?

Last, make sure you give your muscles enough recovery time.  Some activities can be done every day, some can't.

Set realistic goals.
(eg. be able to do 5pull-ups, run 1mile in x:xx time, gain xxx weight)
To know better what I'm talking about take a look at the General Fitness Sticky and Eat.Move.Improve (actually most links from the GF Sticky are of EMI articles)

Keep it up!

You're going to starve to death. ;)
The milk is good, the cereal isn't.  You need protein if you're lifting.  We've discussed this, and being anorexic while training is a terribly bad idea.

It's not going to work...I'm not going to twist your arm and make you listen, but I'm surprisingly well informed about these things. :)

Yes, Dan, please take Joe's help here. He knows what he's talking about and is taking time out of his day to assist you.

If you asked, we could all provide the literature as well as anecdotal evidence that this is the way to go. It's well proven in science and in personal practice.


Complete props though on taking control of your diet and workouts. Many people don't even get that far and always decide to start "tomorrow."

I can give you an example of a meal:

8oz of steak
1 cup spinach with olive oil sprinkled over it...perhaps with fresh herbs to add flavor
1 Fresh Carrot
10 almonds
Glass of Whole Milk

If your meals are this small, then you need about 5-6 a day.  If you'll notice, there's nothing confusing here.  All of the ingredients are things that your grandparents would recognize.  It's all REAL food, and covers the basics pretty well.  We have a raw protein, veggies, MS fats, and most carbs are going to come from the veggies and milk.  This is just an outline, but it's the concept of better eating.
