I appreciate the input Biggerguns! For the last few days I've been trying to keep a detailed log of what I've been eating as well as the amount of calories/fat/carbs/proteins etc., and I've discovered two things.
First, even though I thought I was, I don't think I'm getting enough protein. If I go by trying to get at least 1-1.5 grams per pound of body weight, I'm not very close, hitting around 120-130g when I weigh 150lbs.
Second, I'm eating these really carb heavy meals in the evening at like 9 or 10 p.m. and going to bed a couple of hours later, probably not the best idea.
I am definately going to need to try and get more protein and have decided that my 'later in the evening' snack should be something like a can of tuna rather than a bunch of pasta. I've also heard people say that munching on beef jerky is a good way to get some extra protein as well.
Please don't hesitate to give any other input that might be helpful!
