I'm sure there are ways that I could improve my diet; in fact, I personally know people who eat better than me. However, there are many more whose diets are far worse than mine. Here's a typical day of eating for me. I aim for approximately 2,800 to 3,000 calories per day - which should be reviewed in the context of my exercise regimen - but I don't measure or weigh everything I eat. At this point, I've developed a pretty good sense of how much I should be eating.
