Critique my diet

Too much grain, too much sugar, too much dairy, not enough protein. I'm guessing your 15 years old.

Protein from what? Meat makes my stomach hurt. The only reason I had pork was because it was free. So I don't know how to get more protein without hurting my stomach.

Sugar is definitely high but all grains except the rice (and cake obviously) were 100% whole grain. Portions were really small. I'm not claiming I have a good diet I just need to stop gaining weight. My diet has gotten worse since losing most of my money which makes me think maybe it's the free food I used to turn down that's doing it

Today I ran about 10 miles with a tempo run. I ate about average for what I normally eat (maybe a little bit worse since there was free food) and that amount of running is pretty typical too.

Breakfast: Whole wheat (slightly sweetened) cereal with 1% milk, banana

Lunch: Spinach enchilada, rice and beans, pork taco (free)

Snack: Pear

Snack: 1/2 slice cake (also free)

Snack: Pumpkin seed bread with a little butter and a banana

Dinner: Whole wheat pasta with a little butter and pine nuts, smoked salmon, spinach, poppy seed salad dressing, sweet mini peppers

Snack: Pumpkin seed bread with a glass of milk

I've been gaining weight so I don't know if I just need to cut down on the indulgences a little. But I'm also kind of poor right now so I can't say no to free food

I put in between 50-60 miles a week (which should be typical for you based on what you said) and I clock in a half marathon at around 1hr17min. So if we are indeed comparing apples to apples (in terms of running volume) - I would be famished if I ate that little, and more protein please.

You are a fool. He didn't mention any quantities for most of his main meals so how could you possibly say "if I ate that little"?

His cereal could be an entire box. His Salmon could be 4 pounds.

Oh come on, who eats an entire box of cereal?

I'll add approximate quantities.

Breakfast: One small bowl (about 1c) whole wheat (slightly sweetened) cereal with 1% milk (3/4c), small banana

Lunch: Spinach enchilada, rice and beans, pork taco (free)

Snack: Large pear

Snack: 1/2 slice cake (also free)

Snack: One slice pumpkin seed bread with a 1/2 tbs butter and a small banana

Dinner: 1 1/2c whole wheat pasta with 1/2 tbs butter and a small handful (probably 1/4c) of pine nuts, 4/3 oz smoked salmon, 2c spinach, two capfuls (probably 1 tbs) poppy seed salad dressing, 5 sweet mini peppers

Snack: 1 slice pumpkin seed bread with an 8oz glass (mug) of milk

I have no idea what the lunch portions were. How do you measure an enchilada? But I know how big my cereal bowls are and how much of the pasta I made that I ate and so on because I know how much I bought.

Your diet looks fine, but I would consume a little bit less sugary stuff. Maybe snack on some veggies or some granola or something, not cake. lol. But as long as you're not getting slower, don't change it a whole lot. Good Luck ;)

He might not have given actual portion sizes, but did say they were small. If you're going to be insulting, be right.

you need to cut out the sugar. And even though they are whole grains, it is too much carbs. your protein intake looks fine, but that is only if you are getting the spinach and beans every day.
