My biggest problem of late has been maintaining muscle mass that I gain from my strength training routines. The reason I am losing mass is that I am also heavily training for a few Triathlons for next year's season. I believe the biggest problem may be that I am just not feeding the engine enough or with the right balance. I don't have a large frame, 5'9" and about 160 currently.

Here is an example of a typical diet day. I would love any suggestions to enhance it or ideas on different things to add during the day. I work at a desk pretty much all day.

Morning 7:30 AM: Usually I will only have a bowl of Raisin Bran. Weekends I will have 2 eggs, sausage links, english muffin.

Lunch: 11:30 AM: Metabolol II supplement shake before and after a work out. Then after lunch a Turkey sandwich or chicken salad.

Afternoon 3:00 PM: Sometimes I can get out to get a Juice shake that I usually add Protien boosts to. One idea that a friend gave me was to add a hard boiled egg as a snack.

Dinner 8:00 PM: Either a big plate of pasta usually with a meat sauce, or a barbecue steak/chicken with a side of veggies, or pasta. This is ususally after the evening workout which is either a run, ride, or swim.

That's about it. Any ideas on what else I can add, different supplements, etc.?
