Just taper your expectations for muscle gain while doing a lot of running and EAT,EAT, and then EAT some more.

I am not worried about muscle size. Over the past 2-3 years of running, I have had this re-occurring pain behind the knee. I recently joined a gym and I want to strengthen my legs. I have tried stretching, not stretching, and using a foam roller. I still have problems.
My Mon-Fri diet right now is:
Breakfast: bagel, egg, greens, and tomato
Post workout: protein shake
Mid-morning snack: banana/orange
Lunch: salad with grilled chicken
Snack: apple
Dinner: salad with grilled chicken
Bedtime: Caesin(sp?) shake
Friday night through Sunday is completely different. I love to cook and I eat all kinds of different ethnic foods.
