Muscle soreness
I have adjusted my diet to be hopefully more nutritious as I exercise. I also started consuming small portions of African Mengos since I had heard they help you burn body fat. My problem is, I am still sore two to three days after a workout. I consume about 80 grams of protein everyday. Is the consumption of Mengo and protein counter-productive?

I concur with the dude below. when you're working out, assign certain days to specific muscle groups, ie: monday-arms &chest tuesday- cardio wednesday- Back thursday- cardio friday-shoulders &legs. your abs recover quickly, so you can work them nearly every day.
You need to increase the amount of protein you're eating every day. I dunno how big you are, but when I was working out, I'd eat about 750g of meat/fish a day, and drink a two-scoop protein shake after every workout(I'm 6'1" 185 lbs.). Start looking at your food as fuel and construction materials for your body, cut the fatty nasty garbage out, and start plussing up on proteins, fruits, and veggies.
good luck

Its not your diet. When you do muscle enhancing exercises, microscopic tears form and when your body repairs them your muscles compensate for the extra weight with growth. Especially if you havent exercised your muscles much in a while, they can still ache for even a week if youre that unfit.
When your body is used to that exercise you'll find that you wont get these aches anymore unless you increase the level of the exercise eg going from pressing 20kg weight to 40kg weights.
Dont worry about it. Just dont overdo it and give your muscles atleast 24 hours to rest.
