What is an average day for you when it comes to meals?

During school its hard to diet. But i start off my day with a bowl of cereal and 3 eggs. The cereal is usually Kasho Go Lean protein crunch but some times i also add muscle milk and oats. For a snack i bring a protein bar and a 16ox bottle of water. Be sure the bar has at least 25 grams of protein and somewhat low sat. fats. Snack is usuallly a tuna sandwhich with a whole wheat bagel as the bread and also more water. Be sure to use albacore tuna. When i get home i have a bowl and my secret cereal. It contain about every nut and has a lot of grains. Also flax seeds and a few goodies like M&Ms for flavor. Then i go to gym. After gym i have a protein shake. Either Optimum Nutrition or Isopure. Each with 35 grams of protein. THen for dinner i have a meat, veggie, potatoe or paste and a salad. Then before bed another protein shake.
