Dieting for performance training is different than both of the above. Everything changes, there are no "standards" period.
There is a lot more to it than just PROTEIN!

i know, trust me. i count everything i eat everyday, not on paper but im keeping a rough count in my head constantly.
just so you dont think im a douchebag from the gym who throws back straight protein all day ill write a typical day for me.
breakfast-
2 packets of weight control oatmeal(it has reduced sugar and extra protein)
i use a cup of skim milk instead of water
add a scoop of whey protein
eat a piece of fruit
and drink about 3 cups of water
lunch-
some type of nut(almonds, peanuts, cashews, or pecans for a source of healthy fats)
sandwich with whole wheat bread, turkey or ham, and fat free cheese
a piece of fruit and some type of veggie
and i drink a few cups of water or diet green tea
after school-
on workout days ill go to the gym then make a shake when i come home.
for a shake i put in 2 scoops of dreyers slow churned ice cream(no added sugar and reduced fat), scoop of peanut butter, scoop of whey protein, skim milk, and a banana.
if i dont workout then i usually make another sandwich or sautee some chicken and veggies. just a light meal before dinner.
dinner-
varies but i get at least 1 fruit or veggie, source of protein, and a source of whole grains.
and i drink 2 cups of skim milk.
before bed-
ill drink a glass of milk or eat a light source of protein like a can of tuna or fat free cheese.
i drink water constantly throughout the day(the only liquids i ever consume are skim milk, water, diet green tea, and occasionally fruit juices depending on how it was made) and constantly watch saturated fat intake and sugars/simple carbs and make sure im getting enough protein, calories, and fiber. i take a multivitamin from the vitamin shoppe to help makeup for any vitamins that i may have not gotten enough of that day depending on what foods i had eaten.
