Nutrition chart for a typical day

Below is a chart for a typical day, these are the facts about my diet and my routines:

1) My typical ratios are 40/30/30, give it or take. Protein intake being 40

2) Carbohydrates are essential, I do eat them carefully, but I DO NOT deprive myself from them, otherwise I feel letargic and hungry.

3) My workouts depend on the week, I do mixed weeks with pure cardiovascular activity, or weeks with mostly weights.

4) I try to incorporate various activities, even though my core exercises are Spinning, Dumbells and various Swiss ball exercises

1) 1800 - 2000 Calories split as follows:

Is very important to have the protein shake right after your workouts, it is essential for recovery, I did not use to drink shakes, and it was not easy to implement them into my diet, but once I started to have them, I realized the importance of them.

There are guidelines and not facts, this is what has worked for me, but there is nothing out of the extraordinary and there is no reason why it should not work for you as well.

Cheers.
