I'm not a nutrionist so I'll stop here, but I wonder what the contents of your meals are?
If they are high-carb/low-protein, I would change that.
Yes, they are high-carb/low protein.
Rough breakdown of my day.
Meal 1: 4 eggs with toast or yogurt.
Meal 2(only commute days): a bagel with peanut butter or banana with peanut butter
Meal 3: Oatmeal(I eyeball it but ~1cup) with raisens or banana
Meal 4: lunch. Leftovers usually but a lean protein(chicken or turkey meat usually) with a lot of carbs. White rice/brown rice or pasta usually. Sometimes I go mexican. I usually stuff a gallon ziplock back half way or 3/4 full of food for lunch and tie it together and stuff in my jersey.
Meal 5(if commuting): Oatmeal with riaisens or banana
Meal 6: dinner which is same as lunch.
Meal 7: snack when I get home and after I eat dinner. Usually tortilla chips or a nutrigrain bar/banana and peanut butter etc. but I do this before and after dinner.
