Tightening up Diet - Milk, Cheese and Oats Recommendation

[michiganfan2011]

First - I'd like to thank the members of this forum. I've been on several before, but this is - by far - much more content-rich. The moderators kick ass - thanks for providing this awesome service!

I'm getting ready to start an AAS cycle where I want to focus on putting on lean muscle. I'm tweaking my diet as we speak and have 3 questions.

1 - If I add milk into my diet - should I drink Fat Free, Skim or other? My milk consumption is very low, but I want to do what's recommended.

2 - Sometimes I have turkey wraps or chicken breasts w/ cheese on them. I have been eating fat free American cheese by Kraft, and I'm wondering if that is ok. Should I eat regular cheese, fat free or is the fat free still extremely bad?

3 - I have never really focused on the right carbs, but I am staying strict on whole wheat. I've read several of the posts on this awesome board and I see that Oats for breakfast is recommended. I am currently eating Quaker High Fiber / Heart Healthy Instant, and I'm guessing it's still not the best way to go about eating Oats. Please advise on what Oats to use, what to look for and recommendations on how to prepare.

Thanks!

hey man, hear your name a lot but we have never spoken. I'm usually on the anabolic forum, not because I shouldn't be in here...lol just tend to stick around there.
anyway, thought I would run a quick question by you not expecting a freebie but thought you might be able to shoot me a quick answer...
I am currently on cycle, teste and Androlics/Anadrol and I'm presently using the A-bombs to retain a little more water and for strength as I'm doing a Highland games strength event at the end of July.
should give you a few stats I guess 42 years old, training 25 years now, 6ft, 248 right now, probably 12-13% bf.
I mix any protein shakes I use with skim milk, low fat frozen yogurt, raw oats, protein powder, fruit and usually 2-3 eggs whole.
I know you're not big on frequent shakes as I do read your posts...lol
my question is two fold, I am having a difficult time keeping my food intake up at this point, just plain sick of eating. any suggestions or tricks on getting those extra cals?
my other question is related to dairy products in general. it seems I find myself more and more reliant on dairy, yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, slipping in peanut butter for some cals, but gives me awful heartburn...lol etc as I struggle with getting the intake I need, as well as from a convenience standpoint. also, what is your opinion on multigrain breads and bagels? sorry for the long winded question. thanks.
