5 Blocks for breakfast seems like a lot of protein!

This Breakfast was 3 blocks protien, 3 blocks carbohydrates, 3 fat

8:00 2 eggs, head of swiss chard, about 1 cup mushrooms, 1 tsp butter, i cup milk (all organic)

After doing the math on the blocks, I see that by adding 1 cup of milk, I am adding 1 block protien and 1 block carb. Rather than eating more now to get to a 5 block breakfast, I want to fine tune the 5,5,2,5,2 to something that works better for me based on my lifestyle and when I work out. I am planning on doing Murphy tonight at 6. I usually like to eat 60-90 minutes before with something high fat with protein - can of salmon or sardinese, meat or hard cooked egg. I then eat more volume after a workout, with protein and lots of veg; considerably less fat.

What makes more sense to me is on workout days to go 3, 4, 3 (90 min before w/o),(workout) 5(within 90 min after w/o), 3... This still seems like a lot of food; but it probably won't when I'm looking at a 4 or 5 oz steak on my plate.

1:00 10 chicken wings, about 1/2 cup peanuts (in shells)

3:30 1 serving plain oatmeal, 1 scoop protein power

5:45 1 apple, 2 oz swiss cheese

8:00 2 bowls, onion soup with beef, celery with 7 layer mexican dip
