How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
My budget is tight, so I concentrate on the least expensive foods possible.
I eat two granola bars on my way to the gym every morning, with a bottled water to wash them down.
Around 9am, I try to eat 20 grams of protein, in one form or another.
Lunch, once again, I try to eat a good amount of protein, and keep carbs to a minimum, but not cut them out entirely.
Dinner, eat as much protein as possible. I try to eat an extra portion of steak or chicken.My budget is tight, so I concentrate on the least expensive foods possible.
