I am a fat old man, and I need your help.

[oldnsedentary]

It is high carb day, and I am about to have breakfast, Woo Hoo!

Ok, one cup dry measure of old fashioned oats. Check. Cinnamon for flavoring. Check. QUESTION (1) A tablespoon or so of 2% milk ok in it?

Avoid all that fat, remember, remember. No butter in pan or on toast. Check.

QUESTION (2) Eggs: Two whole eggs, right? Liquid egg whites for 3/4 of a cup, which approximates about 4 eggs? Does that seem right, or would you eliminate all of the yolks? And just the tiniest little drip of 2% low fat milk in my tea (something I skipped altogether, drinking unflavored tea, yesterday, but used big splashes totaling 6 oz the day before - got to get that fat out of the diet).

At least three meals during the day of chicken (boneless skinless, grilled or baked), a cup of brown rice, and some sort of fibrous vegetable (broccoli or spinach are most likely today, asparagus is out of season, green beans raised fresh at a neighboring farm are also a good possibility). No real fat here.

QUESTION (3) What about my usual cup of cottage cheese at bed time? I will cut out the almonds, as suggested. Should I also cut out the cottage cheese? Last night (yesterday no carb day), I had a grilled chicken breast at bed time.

you don't want to avoid all fat. we were just giving you examples of ways to reduce the amount of fat you already have in your diet. cottage cheese is fine, i love the stuff! did you figure out your tdee and maintenance cals yet? are you carb cycling?

did you figure out your tdee and maintenance cals yet?

No. But I will.

are you carb cycling?

I think so, lol. That is what the three days, one high, one low, one no is about, I think. I just started this, however, and I am on day 4 of doing so.

once you figure all that out, you just need to eat on those numbers. it is not easy but looks like you have all the right foods and mind set to make it happen. go read the carb cycling stickie, it will help you out.
