1 leek

1 carrot

1 parsnip

1 rutabaga

1 butternut squash

Peel, wash and/or remove seeds from all.  Cut into chunks, throw into a big bowl and pour 1/4 cup olive oil over and toss until coated.  Oil or line baking sheet(s) with foil and spread in single layer.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Spread 5-6 sprigs each of fresh rosemary and thyme throughout, or alternately use dried herbs to taste.  (Be careful with dried herbs, use sparingly first time) Should have something like the picture.

I think a big piece of my routine that is missing is a balanced diet.  I don't just eat fast food or anything like that but I know that my body doesn't get what it needs.  I have been training about twice a day, five or six days a week.  In the next few months I really want to take my fitness to another level and I think a proper diet is what will really take me there.

Basic Diet- How much should I be eating every day?  What should I eat, carbs protein, fats, pancakes, ice cream, grass clippings?

The ideal day to me would involve time outdoors, some time cooking a good meal, some time eating several good meals, some time being creative, some time actively thinking and problem solving, spend time with friends/family, and some time training for jiu-jitsu. 

Life doesn't always allow me to do that.

Any vegetarians out there?  I struggle with maintaining balanced nutrition and it would be great to have some folks to share ideas or recipes or advice, etc. with.
