Re: Improve or change my diet?Ok. Well one thing to note is that your body gets very good at conserving energy, so low/ moderate intensity like walkin, jogging or zumba will quickly become easier, at which point isn't making your body work as hard. It's good to keep pushing yourself with exercise intensity if you want to lose weight. High intensity exercise makes your body work hard for long after you've finished exercising, which is why resistance exercises and high intensity exercise like interval training is recommended.(Original post by chocolate buttons)
Yes, I am planning on going jogging about 4 days a week and Zumba 1 day a week
Have you considered creating a blog? It's a great way to monitor your progress, keep track of your diet and also allow people to help you make any changes that might be beneficial on the way. -

Everybody is different, some people go 40/40/20(P/C/F) - Some go 40/30/30 - Some go 33/33/33 etc etc.
Also if you have lots of calories to play with, have a peanutbutter and chorizo toasted bagel - amazing -

Re: is this healthy?Average egg has about 5g of protein in it. The only other protein you got was from the milk in your oats which was about 5 aswell...(Original post by GildedButterfly)
eggs are protein and cottage cheese has quite a bit of protein?
Hardly any protein, meats?Fish? -

You're getting like 40g protein max, rather low. -

Re: is this healthy?Depends on(Original post by GildedButterfly)

a) How many calories does it all add up to
b) How many calories do you burn a day
If b is greater than a, then yes, if a is greater than or equivalent to b, then no. -

Re: is this healthy?11g protein per 100g oats(Original post by almasy)
fruit and porridge has protein as well... if he eats as much porridge as i used to thats 50grams of protein in breakfast alone...
Roughly:
<1g per apple
1g per pear
1g per banana
50g may be a tad optimistic -

Re: is this healthy?11grams from fruit in total(Original post by Scoobiedoobiedo)
11g protein per 100g oats
Roughly:
<1g per apple
1g per pear
1g per banana
50g may be a tad optimistic
+ the 5grams you say is in an egg (15grams total from 3 eggs)
+ 20grams you sya is in cheese.
that's 46grams (1 over the GDA) right there alone
+ 10grams from spinach
+ 25grams of protein per cup of outs in the porridge.
+ whatever protein is in onions mushrooms an unnamed soup and olive oil.
really lacking protein isn't it...
PS - there's 17grams of protein in 100grams of oats, not 11, clearly you have no idea about the nutritional value of foods...Last edited by almasy; 19-06-2012 at 22:39.
