I went to a Dietician today, basically to find out what, if anything, I am lacking in and should be eating in my diet with regards to how much exercise I do.

Unfortunately I had to take DD2 who was an absolute horror she took all the food I brought for her and threw it all over the ground (millions of sultanas). And moaned and whined and cried the whole time .

The dietician gave me some good advice but now I keep thinking of all the questions I should have asked. My Iron levels are low so she said to eat more red meat...but how much? I know you shouldn't eat too much red meat because of cholesterol.

She told me that I shouldn't eat too much food as 2 hours a day of exercise isn't that much and I could get fat She's also got me on Iron and Zinc tablets. She said that I should eat Carbs approx one hour before exercise and a banana and then Carbs within 20 mins of finishing exercise and protein within 2 hours.

So how many nights a week should I be having red meat? I'm also going to work more fish into our diets. She said to stay away from pasta at night except the one night a week I go to the gym then thats ok. How is this for a weekly meal plan (dinners)

Mon - chicken, rice and vegies
Tues - red meat pasta (spag bol) and salad
Weds - Fish, potatoes and veggies
Thurs - red meat, ptatoes/rice and veggies
Fri - Fish somehow???

I'm only planning for 5 nights as I don't cook every night.

How do you think this looks? Can anyone make any suggestions? Should I be having red meat 3 times a week?

If anyones interested i'll put up the whole plan for the day.

TIA
