David is beginning an exercise program. He plans to run before lunch and then play racquetball every night after dinner. When he begins his exercise program, he finds that he feels lethargic and hungry before his late-morning run. After running, he doesn't have much of an appetite, so he saves his lunch until mid-afternoon. He is still hungry enough to eat dinner at home with his family but finds that he is getting stomach cramps and is too full when he goes to play racquetball. This is his typical diet:

Breakfast: Orange juice, coffee

Lunch: Ham and cheese sandwich, potato chips, soft drink, cookies

Dinner: Steak, baked potato with sour cream and butter, green beans in butter sauce, salad with Italian dressing, whole milk

How might David change his diet to make it better suited to his exercise program? Do you think David will be able to stick with this exercise program? Why or why not? Suggest some changes that would make David's exercise program more convenient and more balanced.
