protein with every meal (poultry, red meat, yoghurt, milk, eggs, fish, powder)

carbs - fruit in am meals, veg in pm meals, simple carbs straight after training though whenever it is (pasta, rice, bread etc)

fats - probably best to have most at night so as to replace carb cals as you get not much from veg (fish oil tablets, fish, avacaodes, tuna, walnuts, almonds etc)

5 - 7 meals a day...get a good protein powder and have that in water as soon as you finish your last set every session

that is enough to get you started

Check out the Book Burn the FAt, Feed the Muscle. It's got lots of information on a diet to fuel your body during training and regular exercise. See the link below for more info. I love this book.

cottage cheese

Hi. I was wondering if there was anything I could add to cottage cheese at night to make it taste better because I can't eat it plain. Does it go well with a fruit like blueberries or strawberries? Thanks!

I normally like to add a little black pepper or you could add some fruit (I normally do pears or peaches). But if it doesn't agree with you there may be nothing you can do. I know with bf it's a texture thing more than anything. Hope this helps! :)

I also enjoy cottage cheese with either peaches or pears. Sometimes I like this as a quick lunch and find that it really satisfies me.

Why eat it at all if you don't like it?
