training for my second iron man, I think my general nutrition is reasonable but I find myself nibbling alot on cereal for a small snack when I am feeling hungry. For example- just before bed or in the middle of the night.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice or thoughts on better nutritional snacks. Or is what I am doing ok.

I think you'll find that's basically all protein. Now, if you had the worms with the cereal..
If its your second ironman and its not causeing you problems, whats the problem sort of thing.
I often go for a bowl of cerial at all times of the day, beats eating shite. and if its not affecting your training, i cant see the problem.
im on 2 bowls a day sometimes 3, o god, i'm going to need counselling
my shreddies bill is going through the roof!
on the jordans crisp, it is for sale at £1.39 in home bargains if you have those shops near you!
Losing weight, weight watchers does.
if your hungry eat, but eat healthy, a good well balanced diet.
This has been an announcement on behalf of the porridge marketing board.
Sleep-time is repair time for your muscles - give them a slow drip protein and it will help your recovery. I find it also helps keep you fuller longer.
I like protien shakes before i goto bed, also gives you funky dreams.
Breakfast fruit,seeds honey and fresh fruit juice
Lunch small tuna roll (thats' the main carb)
Dinner mixed vegetables and a can of tuna -steamed and served with spices
NO SNACKS, NO ALCOHOL
Powerbar berry drink during turbo sessions
I am getting enough energy to train daily, I am losing weight as expected and I am healthy
This is not easy but I am very self disciplined and at least think I know what I'm at!
My main reason for this conceited boast is that I have put all my disappointing performances in Olympic distance tri, IM and IM 70.3 down to having been overnourished/overweight
Stay skinny, stay hungry and eat lots whilst exercising? Discuss
Fruit: lots of sugars == carbs
Seeds: Quite a bit of carbs in there - but good quality ones!
Honey: Sugar == carbs
Fruit Juice: Sugar == carbs
Your breakfast looks to be predominately carbs - and mainly sugar.
Lunch: Roll == carbs
Dinner: Mixed Veg == carbs (not that much, depending on the veg, as there will also be fibre and protein)
Powerbar berry drink == sugar == carbs
I'm no nutritionist, but it looks like you are eating a reasonably balanced diet - i.e. a fair amount of carbs in relationship to proteins.
What your are skipping, is all the heavily processed carbs from the staples - wheat, rice etc.
Your breakfast is a bit sugar high (i.e. high GI carbs, which is probably OK for a pre training session), but something like oats (porridge) might be better!
