Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / August 2005I know nothing about nutrition and have to feed myself...HELP!!!
Alright, this is sort of cooking, sort of dietary/nutrition, sort of a collection of other things, so I am putting it here and a couple other places to get a nice, wide ranging response. Allow me to explain my situation. I am a fifth year senior who is going to be living not in a dorm/not on a meal plan for the first time. As it turns out, I have no idea how to keep myself properly nourished. I REALLY REALLY want to avoid the ramen, pizza, and hot dogs menu route of many college students. So, to that end, I am collecting advice from cooks and other people who know a lot about food. Here is a bit about me so you can know what you are working with. 6 foot 4, 170 lbs. I play competitive club ultimate frisbee, so I engage in strenuous exercise 10-15 hours a week. I use a ton of energy, so it takes a lot of food to keep me going. 2 questions: #1 what does a guy like me eat to keep my energy up and try to establish healthy eating habits for life? #2 How do I cook that? Submit whatever you like. 1 meal, a weeklong menu/meal plan, 1 recipe, whatever you please. Thanks!!! > Alright, this is sort of cooking, sort of dietary/nutrition, sort of a > collection of other things, so I am putting it here and a couple other > places to get a nice, wide ranging response.

I have to admit I'm usully leary of seeing someone's personal dietary advice, but you hit the nail square on the head. Great recommendations all around... then on top of that, I got to see some high quality art work. You're quite a pro! Hi there, I am a Personal Trainer Specialist and soon to be Nutrition Wellness Specialist. Thought you could maybe use my help! A good lunch or dinner (maybe even a snack in your case! lol) which is loaded with protein (helps build, maintain and repair muscle tissue) and also contains complex carbohydrates and fibre (gives you energy and keeps your feeling of "fullness" longer) is tuna salad. It tastes great, takes only minutes to prepare and is relatively inexpensive. Try this after a workout: Here's the recipe: *Half a head of lettuce (less is also good if you want a little more focus to be on the protein intake at this meal) *A small amount of light caesar or ranch dressing (flavoured low fat mayo works good too) - just enough to coat the lettuce *2 cans of flaked white tuna packed in WATER (or salmon-whichever you prefer) *teaspoon of shredded cheese, sesame seeds, almonds (all optional) *cup of diced celery and carrots (or whatever veggies you like) *diced onions (optional) *pepper to taste Mix this all together and eat up!
