Hiya would love you to add me as a friend if you have mastered hitting your calorie intake and all your nutitional goals. As I am finding it quite difficult. I have been playing aound with diffrent foods but still cannot get my nutrional goals to balance and still end up with calories to eat. - I could eat more calories but would end up in the red in other area. Please share your diet plans with me.

I am vegetarian. I lift weights to build muscle. I take a protein whey isolate drink after my workouts.
Everyones nutritional goals are different. For me, i want to intake a little more protein than normal (80-100g). I try to keep my sodium lower, so I just choose foods where I can control salt or buy only no salt added foods. I eat a lot of greek yogurt, lentils, beans etc for protein. For carbs, I choose to eat whole grain breads and pastas, and sweet potatos, and brown rice, oatmeal. I also eat egg whites (no yolks) and dairy in the form of cheese. I drink soy milk with my whey powder.0 -
I wouldn't bother trying to hit all your nutrtional goals. As long as you have a balanced diet then you'll get what you need. Far too many people on here get too bogged down in numbers and goals. It becomes a chore that you can't keep up for the rest of your life. Ever heard of anyone die of a carbohydrate excess or a fat deficiency? Eat well and you'll be fine.0
