meal3 - steak/pork/chicken with rice and a vegtable (corn mostly) or salad

I drink a lot of water and propel.
Add protein into your first two meals. Egg whites are low cal, high protein and a traditional breakfast food. You also need much more vegetables. Tomato slices with your breakfast or some spinach/onions in an omelette would be good. What exactly is meal 2? It's a bit vague. Also, when's your workout in relation to these meals and what supplements are you taking, if any?

About vegetables...corn doesn't really count. Eat some cruciferous greens, or some other dark green leafy vegetables. If you're absolutely desperate and are having problems actually eating vegetables, a greens powder would be a decent supplement to take. A serving a day to round out your intake should be enough.
