Marathon Week Meal Plan - HELP!

I probably should have thought about this before, but still a little stuck about what to eat all next week, before the race. During the race – all that I have sorted! Most of the advice has been not have too much fat, and drop the fibre intake. I’ve listed my meal plans from tonight to the night before the marathon. If anyone thinks I should add anything, take anything out please comment!

Tonight Dinner – left over falafel with vegies and pasta
Friday Breakfast – oats w milk and banana
Mid morning snack – apple and handful of nuts
Lunch – Turkey, carrot, sprout, and avocado sandwich on white bread
Dinner – Eggs on toast (with spinach)

Saturday Breakfast – oats w milk and banana
Mid morning snack – apple and handful of nuts
Lunch – Turkey, spinach, hummus and cheese sandwich on white bread
Dinner – Steak with vegies (potato, carrots, broccoli and beans) with pasta

Sunday Pre 16km run oats with milk and berries and jelly snakes along the way
Post run brunch – eggs on toast with spinach or home made pancakes /depend on whether I am craving salt post run – this is the norm.
