diet help...

IM trying to sort out a new diet plan, and I think i need some help with it. My main problem lies with my parents though. they dont like me eating more than 3 meals a day, they say if i need more food i should just have bigger portions at those times. Obviously, for athletes this dosnt work, but they dont seem to realise that. so firstly, does anyone have any articles that I can show my parents of my food needs?

ALso, what do people think of my diet plan? what needs to be changed?

School Day

Breakfast: oatmeal, 2 slices of wholemeal toast
Fresh orange juice

Mid- morning: tuna in 2 slices of wholemeal bread and an apple

Lunch: tuna in 2 slices of wholemeal bread, Frusli bar, 100% rolled oats

Post-Workout: 1 banana, 5g creatine

Dinner: well balanced meal

Supper: 2 slices of wholemeal bread and cottage cheese, 1 glass of milk

Weekend

Breakfast: oatmeal, 2 slices of wholemeal bread
Fresh orange juice

Post-Workout: 1 banana, 5g creatine

Lunch: well balanced meal

Mid-afternoon: 1 slice of wholemeal bread with meat (tuna, chicken slice), 1 apple

Dinner: well balanced meal

Supper: 2 slices of wholemeal bread and cottage cheese, 1 glass of milk

 

just tell them recent research shows that having 5-8 smaller meals is better than 3 big meals since if keeps metabolism up and yadda yadda yadda

that diet looks good IMO

 

got any links to this recent research though?

 

I dont have any links but it looks good as it is. I personally havent had a problem with 3 big meals but thats me. You almost eat the same thing for every meal
