i just broke down my daily diet, and everything is pretty close to where i want it to be except my carbs are lacking:

Food Fat Carbs Protein Calories

Cup of Oatmeal 6 54 10 300

Cup Skim Milk 0 12 9 80

Whey Protein 6 9 54 300

---------------------------

1/2 cup Cashews 26 16 8 320

Yogurt 2 33 6 170

---------------------------

Bean Burrito 6 35 8 220
Tangerines 0 18 0 70

---------------------------

V8 0 14 3 70
Protein Bar 5 15 10 140

---------------------------

Cup Skim Milk 0 12 9 80

Whey Protein 6 9 54 300

---------------------------

1/2 Cup Cashews 26 16 8 320



Totals 83 243 179 2370

*meals are seperated by dashes



My protein and calories are spot on. The fat seems high, but 52g of those 83g of fat come from the nuts i eat. The carbs are obviously my weak point. From what I gather, they should be more along the lines of 400-450.

Keep in mine, this is my "traveling diet", since I'm nearly always living in a hotel on business travel, so things like chicken, lean beef, and things I need to cook are pretty much not doable. what are some good raw foods that really pack a lot of healthy carbs so i can better round out my diet plan? thanks.
