I'm trying to loose fat and gain muscle!
Here is what I'm eating- 3 oranges, two good green salads, 2 soy protein shakes, 8 egg whites, 2oz mixed nuts, & 1 cup of frozen peas everyday!
Someone told me I need more carbs for energy! I understand that, but I'm scared because my body loves storing carbs as fat! I tryied adding 1 serving of oatmeal and 1 serving of grapenuts to my daily intake! Guess what, within a week My legs looked like they gained inleast another inch of fat on them! I'm going to maybe try some kind of beans again! Just maybe 1 cup a day! I'm going to make sure to chew very well too! Maybe that was my problem, was I ate them too fast!
Would there be any other carbs in mind that would not put inches on me! I'm watching my fat too! I notice when you have to have regular eggs instead of whites, it sure adds up your fat %! I make sure I stay below 30%!
Well thanks in advance!

Check out my post in this same forum, "grocery list for a bodybuilder". You would do well to print it out.

Thanks, but can you just have fiber carbs for energy or do you need complex carbs too! Because the complex carbs is what my body stores as fat! I would do fine on the fiber carbs! I already have some of the fiber carbs! How much should I have? Could you tell me how much % I should have of protein/carbs/fat?
Thanks again!
