Any advice: I always start the day with 35g porridge, homemade almond milk and a handful of blueberries. It keeps me going till lunchtime at least without snacking. Is this a good idea, or is it a too-early carb-boost?

Cheers!

From almost everything I have read, if you want to eat a lot at least once per day, early morning is the best time to do it. It is late evening meals/snacks that can be a problem, but not breakfast.

Thanks. As with everything, the web gives answers that are black, white and whole rainbow of opinions. I always thought if it keeps me going till lunch, even at my 105kg, then I can't be doing anything too bad!

I'm in the 100-105kg range; I'd be eating the desk by 10.30 if I ate that little for breakfast, so you're definitely doing ok!

You cannot be eating what you've said in OP and be hugely fat, there is bugger all there? 6 pints a week is nothing either - is there more than you're letting on?

Cool! Coz I'm a hungry fker! Does work though, seemingly a slow-release carb. Also stabilises blood sugar levels, which is good too...

Yep - I have porridge or muesli for breakfast. Porridge will be 50-60g before milk, with a large banana sliced in and a generous handful of blueberries though.
Museli will will be closer to 100g dry plus the same additions.

I now have a protein shake with skimmed milk first (both casein and whey mixed), then either porridge or muesli and then a banana - and then just another shake before training, and one immediately after..

(ETA - I am around 75kg)

Why not? He's got a st diet and sits on his arse all day, and does a limited amount of exercise.

[okgo]

But it doesn't even sound like it adds up to even 2k cals which is what they're saying for non active people? And he was doing some cycling/running?

Im not hugely fat. (Will post a belly pic if you want!?)
But I've noticed my tummy getting a bit flabbier (first time was when my belt buckle was cold and I leant forward!
I want to halt it now and go back a little.

-just weighed myself, 81 kgs im 6.0ft tall.

Beer is full of sugar.

You don't NEED to drink it.

Avoid white bread, beer, chips, cake and any type of pie you will notice a big difference in three months.












Sod it, eat what you want, who want's to be a miserable bean pole?

Ok OP 81kg is not bad, no. Perhaps some more working out will give you a bit of tone to work with, at that size you're probably not a mega high bodyfat (I weigh about the same at a similar height and I don't have too much flab, but I probably do more working out).

Jshell - is that a lot? I would use at least 3 sachets of oatsosimple sized portions of porridge for breakfast, one seems to be 37g and is pathetic I was thinking!

Personal choice, but when I'm travelling I use 45g, wet it quite a bit with almond milk and then microwave for 1.40 followed by blube's. That's a full meal as I usually only use 35g, even when cycling 15km to work! 3 x 37 seems a metric st-load, tbh. Is oatsosimple sugar free as I use boggo standard oats...

Again, I'm 105kg and it's truly fine for me. Maybe you've got a super-fast metabolism??

[okgo]

I'm just struggling to see how someone gets to 105kg eating 200 cals or whatever it is of oats?!

I eat a lot as I cycle a lot. But even if I didn't I would need to eat far more than that for breakfast. I have original too from a box but have used the sachets before and easy reference point.

That's only until lunchtime... Suppose I must make it up in other ways, but only being home weekends means I possibly go a little overboard then!

The diet may or may not be st - it may not be 100% dedicated, but not exactly 50 stone bloke or the Phelps diet either.

Same goes for the exercise - one man's limited is someone else's plenty.

Then there's the genetic luck element, along with the unknown age card.

That's my kind of man maths. Bravo!!!

OP - stay fat - be a jolly fat guy - die young but happy. Or in pain.

Dribble beer and food on to your chest.
