Well I'm up for suggestions on diet advice for Kickboxing.

Routine:
Sun: Beginners ~4-5pm (if I don't do any other sport over the weekend)
Mon: Advanced ~8-9pm
Tue: Beginners ~6:30-7:30pm
Wed: Advanced ~7-8pm
Thu: Beginners + Advanced 6:30-9:00pm
Fri: Free
Sat: Free

My day is usually up at 6am, work @ ~7am, leave work ~4pm. Bed by about 10:30ish.

Average time is about an hour of intense exercise with each class. Advanced is physically harder than beginners. I suppose curcuit training is close in types of exercise.

Now I'm back up to fitness due to two non-KB accidents (lighter effort in all classes) what I want todo is push forward in my advanced classes by doing beginners every other week or lesson then put more effort into the advanced classes. In esssence I think I'm slightly overtraining but I'd like todo all of them.

The problem is ensuring I have enough energy if I do all the classes to put 100% effort into them. I suppose I don't have idea of my required calorie intake during training.

Protein after is usually a good idea in my book as it stops the aches.

Carbs - well I'm starting to think 4 smaller meals a day may suit this better than 3 larger meals, so I'm thinking for training days:

Morning: 2 slices of brown bread+marmalade OR porriage
Early lunch: carbs something like packed lunch of pasta/potatoes + veggies
Mid afternoon: 2x tuna sarnies.
After class: pint of milk + veggie soya protein shake

Any other curcuit/MA trainers out there have any suggestions?
