I’m confused, I’m overwhelmed…. Help pls! 

LMAO! Shadow, I trained very hard yesterday, but god only knows I can't stop eating today. I'm basically walking around my house doing homework and making myself food. I feel indoubtedly guilty for eating so much.

Meal 1- 1/4 cup steel cut oats/a few slices of grapefruit
1/4 cup skim milk+water+stevia+a few raisins+cinnamon+sugarfree maple syrup(for flavor )
I took a few teaspoons of yogurt and mixed an egg white, farmer cheese (the really low cal/sodium kind made from skim milk) into it.
A sprinkle of all bran
1/4 cup of wheat bran and a tablespoon of flaxmeal
2 super omega 3 caps and a multivitamin with digestive enzymes (haha, you know the reason to that...)

tea, water, nestley's 100% cocoa with 1/4 cup soymilk in between

Meal 2 were my english muffins. I think I threw in some farmer cheese/cottage cheese into those. I also ate a few baby carrots (I really can't remember at this point...) oh yeah, I bought this soy based bologna product to TRY. omfg.. I regret "trying" it. I remember I was so full after this meal...

Meal 3 (now) Outta control.

London Top Broil - about 3 oz or so (It was sooooo hard. I killed the fat in that thing!)
a large egg + egg substitute
Made an omellette with that and a slice of leftover delimeat (lean)
2 or 3 tablespoons of farmer cheese
Handfull of mixed salad
hotsauce, ketchup

and then...

It all went to hell.
Tiny [I promise] slice of this thing my dad bought (made of 100% sugar ) I controlled myself here.
A few teaspoons of yogurt, a bit more farmer cheese, then 2 or 3 teaspoons of no sugar added (splenda sweetened) ice cream. haha. wait, wait, my MOTHER comes home here - hey look. She bought large strawberries. 3 of those...some more cocoa, no milk, stevia for sweetness.

This is the part where I drink 5 glasses of water.

I'd like to thank anyone who has actually reached this part of the post...

lol... Alright I'll drop the mag and eat my dame pita. you're smart for being so young
but for real, is my lunch good and balanced?

Take the magazines and stack them very carefully in a stack in the garage, if you have a lot make several small stacks. Ensure that you drink plenty of water during the day before you do this. Then, carefully so as not to make too much of a mess, drop your panties, squat over top of each stack and piss on them.

That's about the best use I've found for those magazines.

LMAO!!! I love it...

Well, it depends on what you mean by balanced and what typa salmon you're eating. Some canned salmon brands have 1 g fat/serving and some 5grams. You shouldn't worry about the type of fat, because it's olive oil and salmon. Automatically making it omega 3 + 9 for the most part monosaturated as well. The whole grain pita isn't a bad idea at all, especially because the sandwich is quick and unrefined, and fuels ya. The mushrooms contain almost no carbs, so you might as well just refrain from sweating those. It's definitely not a 40/30/20 meal, or a 40/40/20 in terms of c/p/f. Fat takes up most of the percentage, with carbs being second and protein probably either *almost* equivalent to carbs or getting there. But hey, at least it's balanced health-wise, and if I were to crave it I'd eat it for that very reason. The article was based on generalization and not careful analysis. Carefully observe how your body responds to these things since you may be deficient in healthy fats (craving). Observe it for a while, not a day either due to psychological effects (arg! "I read some moronic article in some dimwitted magazine and now I'll stress myself over it") don't forget - it raises your cortisol

Alycat - you should get the protein wraps, can't remember the #'s, but the have around 15P /15C & 8fiber (no fat) I got them before at a health store

These wraps that you speak of... are you talking just the wrap that has 15/15/8??? that's great... what are they called. if this snow ever lets up I'll get some. I love wraps. but my pita is great. I cut it in two thin slices and then put it on the George Forman grill then put olive oil on it and top it off with caned salmon. it's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

implying that you should shoot for a 40/30/30 with EVERY meal is a bad idea.

I had them a few months ago, & can't remember the exact name, but they were from the health store & like the ones they use at Subway for their wraps. I can call the store & ask for the name (if you can't find them)

La Tortilla Factory has some great low-carb tortilla's

Nope. I wasn't implying that. I was referring to the balances I see discussed here most often. I've seen quite a few different people literally post that they do their best balancing their meals the 40.30.30 way in reference to the Zone diet. I would never take that path myself, though. Mixing too many things at once gives me severe digestive problems - it runs in my family.
