I am fairly new to all this and trying to do the best I can. Would be happy for some constructive feedback on my diet. Don't be too hard on me

FWIW, I am 29, 5'10", weigh 174 pounds, and run marathons. I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I really just want want to be a healthier person. So I probably won't be quite as strict as some folks on some of the gray areas.

Breakfast - eggs and pork sausage
Snack - almonds
Lunch - huge salad with almonds, dried cranberries, feta, tuna, oil and vinegar dressing
Snack - banana with almond butter
Dinner - 12 oz new York strip and sweet potato fries
Dessert - dark chocolate, full fat yogurt with blueberries and almonds

It's a pretty decent diet except you have a lot of almonds in there. I think a handful once in awhile is okay but you have them in four of your meals. Too many nuts can definitely make for a bad n3:n6 balance. Furthermore, since you run a lot of marathons (which isn't totally primal but you only asked about your diet so I won't go there) you will want to reduce the excess inflammation. So I would consider reducing the almond consumption. Otherwise it isn't too bad.

I agree - perhaps trim back the nuts and replace them hardboiled eggs, or cheese, or avocado, etc. Otherwise, it looks good to me.

yep,almonds are pretty meh as far as nuts go,so cut back on them.Besides that,everything looks fine and makes me want to head to the kitchen and cook something up.
