You might want to skip the real food till after your work out.
Unless you are steadily excercising for a unussally long period(hours) you wont be able to make use of that food energy until you are done excercising.
A better idea is to eat over an hour before you go to the gym or right afterwards. Eating afterwards doesnt work for everyone though so a small snack with some carbs might be needed right before or during your work out.
But your new diet looks like a good idea.
Less saturated fat/more fiber/less simple carbs is always a good idea.
As for ricipes - I ussually just buy frozen bags of stirfry and flavor with wine and soy sauce then mix in fish, lean beaf or chicken.
