I am trying to lose weight. I am totally avoiding eating meat. But what I understand here is that eating meat will help me. And whats that quantity that helps? Because surely if I eat much fats my fat-loss will suffer and meat does have some serious fats. Also what is recommended if you wake up early for gym and have to eat your first meal just before workout. I find milk easy to have early morning. But is that fine before workout. Maybe with whey mixed in that. Also I read that milk must be avoided to lose fat.
COUNTER-INFORMATION-INTENTION in mind.

One can also use low-calorie bread for many meals (available at the grocery store, in the US anyway). The Sara Lee brand has 45 calories per slice with 3g protein. I like to make french toast using this bread and low calorie syrup, which has

low calorie bread x 3 = 135 calories, 9g protein
egg x 3 = 210 calories, 18g protein
low cal syrup = 35 calories

for a 380 calorie meal with 27g protein. using this kind of bread also makes a turkey sandwich a great protein-packed low-cal meal.

@Andrew

Good question, friend… eggs are high in cholesterol, you’re very correct… however, most studies have shown that actual cholesterol in the diet is fairly negligible, compared to other factors. Remember several things when you hear something from medical authorities:

1) You aren’t a common American (or person, for that matter.) You’re a body builder, and because we take so good of care of ourselves, we can get away with a lot of things other people may not be able to. That’s the good news.

2) The “authorities” often don’t really know what they are saying. That’s the bad news. For years, we were told not to eat a high fat diet… especially saturated. Well, it turns out there is NO scientific link (I repeat: NONE) between fat levels and cholesterol. High fat diets tend to have much lower cholesterol counts then high carb ones, actually. Also, cholesterol, at least in a bodybuilder, is one of the main substances that is converted into testosterone. And old bodybuilding friend of mine once told me “Chicken makes you weak.” He said this because of its low cholesterol count.

I hope this helps! Do your research, you’ll be surprised by what you may find.

Best wishes!

Is putting olive oil in a protein shake normal? Sounds kind of unhealthy to me… Any help would be appreciated.

Medhi,
I heard from medical authorities that it is not safe to eat eggs every day due to its high cholesterol content and that the most eggs one should eat in a week is 4 eggs, and that’s if that person has a healthy cholesterol level. What do you say?

Regarding Bacon & Eggs.

“The breakfast of champions. Takes longer to cook, but definitely worth it”.

Use your microwave. Scramble your eggs & toss in some milk. Also buy a Microwave Bacon Tray. 3 mins for your eggs & 2 for the bacon. Done.

Quark sounds kind of strange ill try it out. Whey protein which i do own is really expensive…..whole foods are better. I do use the whey protien after work outs i like it with dinner. Breakfast is always hard but i guess ill learn how to whip up some eggs before school. BTW get egg white powder and put in your smoothies. Other then that jug the smoothy I almost puked while drinking mine lesson learned jugg.

Ps
All summer i had peanut butter on bread
I would take a loaf of bread and sit and eat with peanut butter
Taking in slowly but surely

I could do over a loaf in one day while eating my normal diet
I promise you that is around 50g of protien or more never counted and i know it’s 1000+ calories im switching to whole wheat i don’t know the numbers fo that.
