Hi athletics, I have some nutritional questions as well.

I've been off training martial arts for 10 months. I started training again two weeks ago following my old schedule, with 5 evening workouts a week and a few morning runs. It is just painful to see how much endurance I've lost - I'm usually crawling out of the gym every day. In addition, I've got different office hours now, so I have like 1 hour from end of dinner to start of training. Clearly that's not very good, as I struggle to keep the food down and also run out of gas halfway through sparring.

So here's my adjusted eating routine. I know there's some bad stuff in there, but hey, I gotta be realistic. My main goal is to be able to do high intensity training so I can improve condition and technique.

I'm 6'2 and 196 lb. I used to fight at 183, cutting from 190.

Breakfast at 8, after running if I did that: Every other day I eat 2 eggs, bacon and beans. Oats + 50g protein powder on other days. Orange juice and 2 cups of coffee.
Lunch at 1130: chicken salad or sandwich, maybe with ham,cheese, feta and olives. 2 cups of coffee.
Dinner substitute around 4pm: fruits and 100g of protein.
630-8: training
Dinner at 9pm: chicken and rice, pork, or pasta and beef; all of them with lots of veggies. Sometimes I just can't bother though, so I just get a pizza or fry me some burgers. 1-2 times a week I also hit the pub and could drink anything from 1-5 beers.
60g protein with lots of water before I go to bed.
I also take creatine once a day and ribose before training.
