At breakfast I would eat a banana, oatmeal, Yoplait yogurt (not Greek) or cereal and never have any protein. Then I'd have a carb loaded lunch and a little protein. Same with dinner. This was during a time that I was trying to change my eating habits for the better. I mean all those carbs probably worked for a marathon runner but I was the type to walk on a treadmill 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes. I definitely didn't need all those carbs.
