I was looking over my nutritional stats and they are pretty much on target. My carbs are usually between 40% to 50% of my diet. Mostly fruits and vegetables, with some whole grain bread and occassionally whole grain pasta.
My Proteins are usually between 30% - 40% of my diet and of course these are lean meats and fish, Whey protein powder after my workouts and some yogurt and cottage cheese.
My fat intake is usually between 20% & 30% of my diet... all good fats like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Nuts & Seeds, All-Natural Peanut Butter and whatever fats are left in the lean cuts of meats I eat.
So I'm pretty pleased with the Macro-nutrient breakdown of my diet... now I just have to cut the total calories again... 2 reasons for that... I let myself gain 10 pounds since I hit my low weight of 180lbs in December... and I wouldn't mind if it was muscle, but looking in the mirror tells me otherwise... I'm sure, no in fact I'm positive I gained some muscle, but I definitely know it wasn't 10 pounds worth... and the second reason is I want to be around 180lbs. during the height of the cycling season or summer as we call it.
