Update

Ok started teh diet only 2 days ago. I bought the casein protein. It tastes pretty bad but no biggie. I have taken out milk completely and I don't feel as bloated.

Fyre, I bought the natty pb at A&P. There were 3 dif. kinds and I bought the Kraft kind, is that what you suggest. All 3 were almost equal in values. Where would I stick this in my daily plan? If I am to eat 35 g's fat per day, does the flax count as 24 for 2 tbsp? The pb itself is 7.5g's fat per tbsp, plus 5 gs for one chicken... that is 36 already not counting the 2.5 in the shakes I eat.!!.

I'm probably making this way too complicated but still - haha, it upsets me!

So exactly how many fats should I have? thanks

No, the natty peanut butter is the natural peanut butter in the bulk section. The Kraft etc. all have sugars added. Did you get it in the bulk section. They only have smooth or crunchy. You have to spoon your own peanut butter into the container. It's not already packaged for you. You're only going to take in 35grams a day of fat total?
Where did you get that number from?

Prana you certainly need more than 35g of fat, don't be scared of fats it's ecxess calories that are important

Fyre's right, listen to her, she's a wise girl

 

[Prana]

Ok now I see where I got confused with the fat issue (

ONce and for all - how many grams fat is right for me? I'm 140 lbs.

My sources will be: (if everyone agrees )

flax, almonds, natty pb, small amounts in whey shakes, and the natural amount in chicken...

Thanks .. esp. Fyre and MUay Tai Guy

Well i personally think you should be aiming for around 1800 - 2000 calories
If you do go for 1800 calories, it depends on ur macronutrient ratios

I would suggest at least 20 or 25 % Fat Minimum
that would work out at 40 - 50g of Fat as a minimum

2 tbsps of Flax have 30g of fat in them
so you can afford roughly 20g of fat more in ur diet

I think you could be fine with some milk early on in the day lactose (milk sugar) has about the same exact GI as oats/rice. Its actually a pretty good source of carbs. But moderation and before noon are key.

good luck

prana: If you really dont like carbs you might ought to check out the Natural Hormonal Enhancment diet. I have been on for 8 days and can already feel a difference and see too. It is basically low carb with macro nutrient cycling. I carb up every 3 and 4th day.

thanks fm, right now I am just on a typical bb, high protein cutting diet. I think I should stick to the basics for awile until regular dieting doesn't work anymore
