Hey everyone,

I have not started this new diet yet, but I can already tell it's going to be difficult to stomach. I'm 25, 175lbs, 5'8", and a hard gainer (usually). What are some good complex carbs that I can put in some of these meals to replace the rice? Also, you can see my meals do not have much variety. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

- Paul

Look at BB1's bodybuilder Grocery List. He has broke down everything you need. The list will change your life. Yams, oatmeal, and I think there were a few more, go check it out.

I think- the fat intake is huge. I try to keep to 35g a day max or make it up to 90g in nuts and oily fish only.
You don't seem to have much cereal or grain.
All the basics are sound- not much carb in the evening(good) but no fruits during the day?

Don't change what you've got- tweak and adjust little bits with bbfit grocery list and ticking products from it you like- From that you can tweak your diet into an enjoyable regime. Bland meals, make colourful- like an omelette must have red pepper or tomato peices to brighten it- how it looks does help. Best of luck..
