Breakfast 2-egg whites 1 cup of oatmeal 1 banana Meal 2 Chicken salad w/ the usual lettuce/carrots tomato's apple 2-slices of wheat bread w/ peanut butter (or substitute for a bagel) Meal 3 Peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread Fruit-*usually an orange* Meal 4 cup of yogurt Some veggies like baby carrots/green peppers and so on White rice about 1 cup Meal 5 Lean ground beef w/ spaghetti

I could be wrong... wait till someone else with a more experience on the subject responds...

Would it be better to move that meal to a before/after training slot? Like swop meal 3 or 4 for 5- remove the jelly, carrot, white rice because of starch and the banana. Wholegrain rice/pasta/bread I think tastes nicer anyway! How about grapefruit and pineapple(fresh)...
