Need help with a clean and sound maintenance plan
I am shooting for around 2900 calories a day, doing a 40/40/20 split
I want a meal plan that is easy, CHEAP (I am in college), and I can just eat every day.
How is this for daily intake? I need opinions on the list and then help partitioning it into 5-6 different meals during the day please. I have been laboring over the details for hours now, and would like some outside opinions to apply to my plan.
1 apple
1 orange
1 banana
5 hard boiled eggs including yoke
2 servings pasta
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 cups milk
2 cups long grain brown rice
4 cans chunk light tuna packed in oil
(the above gives me a 40/40/20% split, according to fitday)"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."

I could also throw peanut butter in there somewhere.
Perhaps some lean chicken and beef on some days, but it's so darn expensive relative to my budget! I am also concerned with the amount of greens in the diet, and what should be added to compensate..."It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it.

Meal 1:
2 Whole Eggs
3 Whites
Veggies

Got to the nearest supermarket, make a list of possible foods that you can buy and post here. We will tell you what we think.

Thats the thing, I really need help breaking this down into meals. Everytime I get into it I am driven to frustration because of the 17 variables I forgot about.
I am considering competely forgoing milk and just taking calcium supplements as well.
Can I get away with eating that small amount of fruits/veggies a day, etc."It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."
