Well, I'm certainly far from the expert, but that looks pretty darn good to me!

You just make me realize how off my eating habits are. I eat about 2 times a day and then snack late at night.

You're at the gym 3 hours a day though, right? I would think you'd need to be eating lots if you're doing that. I'm sure those that know better can comment further. I just know what I've read from my addiction to fitness magazines.

Yes 3 hours a day! 1 hour before school on the tredmill and 2 hour after school. 30 min eliptical machine and 30 min weights and 60 min tredmill to finish. is that too much or maybe I should be doing more?

and maybe a shake 30 mins after your workout instead of a bar.. then about 30 mins later have a smaller meal to reenergize you

well what do you suggest for meal 4 ? it's only 30 min before my work out.
a chose a bar because I can't eat in class and what ever I eat has to be able to be eaten while driving from the gym to school. any suggestions on something better?

something low GI index carbs.. like oatmeal, or such..
or protien.. if you can You should try to eat that meal about 1 1/2 hours b4 the gym.. but whatever you eat it should not spike your insulin levels right before you workout..

when Im in school, I grill some lean burger patties, or chicken breast, some form of protien the night before and put them in baggies and eat between every class then go to gym after class for I have had atleast 1 hour and 1/2 between a meal and the gym

as for the meal right after your morning workout.. you need more then that .. because your body has been starved all night then your only giving it protien and since you have been catabolic your body will start to eat away at your muscle instead of fat..
