I've always been an active person. I'm in
my late forties and I walk 5 miles
everyday. When I try to add more exercise
to my daily routine of walking, it seems
that I can only keep it up for just so
long and then I usually come down with
something, i.e. a cold, sinus infection,
etc. When this happens it totally derails
me - even with my daily walking. I'm
getting so tired of this cycle. I suspect
the obvious is to blame - that my
nutrition is fine for fueling just the
walking but I don't have enough fuel for
more when added and it's at that point
that my system begins to break down. I am
now beginning to look at my nutrition to
see what I have to add when I add more
exercise. Can anyone help me with a daily
meal plan that will support the exercise
that I want to do? I should point out
that what I want to add to my daily/weekly
exercise is weights/3x per wk. and some
abdominal workouts 3 x/week as well.

I can tell you your body is breaking down
everything you put in but you are not
getting the protein needed to keep your
muscles active and constantly rebuilding
what you breakdown during excerise. PM a
copy of everything you eat/drink and at
what times with measuremnts so I can help
you out. I am a certifed trainer and
nutritionist and help people everyday in
your situation.
