I am going to be competing in a sprint triathlon in late June and I want to get lean and ready without losing alot of muscle. I have been doing my cardio(usually 3 mile run or 15 or so mile bike ride) and then lifting a few hours later. Because I have a good amount of time before I have to really do the intense cardioto be prepared I would like to get as lean as possible.
My daily diet:
Meal#1= 2 whole eggs 2 egg whites 2 slices whole wheat bread
Meal#2= Apple
Meal#3= Usually slice whole wheat bread and 5oz. Lean ground turkey
Meal#4= PWO Slice of white bread and Shake
Meal#5= 1oz. Reduced Fat Wheat thins with Salsa
Meal#6= Usually ground turkey or Chicken Breast and salad
I know this diet needs work but i was thinking I need to add alot more colored veggies because they are more nutritious and eating more throughout the day may keep my metabolism working all day. Please help me out
