Member 3294, 9 posts SQ 160, BP 145, DL 215 520.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq	Hi guys - I'm a former rugby player, who has recently had to stop playing after suffering 2 significant injuries: 1 - quad (left leg) rupture in Sept 2009 2 - severe dislocation to left elbow, Nov 2011. I've been back in the gym for a few weeks and elbow is feeling good, lifting coming along nicely. However my diet is not great, I'm after any guidance you can offer. I'm 189cm tall and 104kgs. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Just a tidy up should do it, cut out simple sugars and processed carbs, cut down saturated fats a little and up your protein intake slightly. Should be as simple as that.
