Protien v. Carbs

Originally posted by Seagurl51 I eat a Nutra-Grain bar about a half and hour before my workout. It almost always gets me through the entire workout, unless it's really a tough one. So then in terms of percentage of things to eat....I usually eat 2 eggs and 2 pieces of toast with butter...and sometimes an Eggo with butter. Is that the right combo of stuff? What would y'all recommend? Chicken *** is a good source of protein. So is a lot of fish. I love salmon. Rice is not a bad source of carbs. Wheat bread too. It's very difficult to say what to eat and what not to eat since there are millions of edible things and it depends on your taste. Generally you stick with high complex carb, high protein, and low good essential fatty acids. I am a bit neurotic as I almost always look at the nutrition facts before I buy anything. Also, go to www.nutritiondata.com. It tells you the nutritional facts of a lot of foods.
