What P-Funk said. In addition some suggestions to get you started:
Oats + egg whitesOriginally Posted by pumpthatiron
Make your own shake. Grind oats+protein powder+natty pb. add water and shake vigoursly. Let it stand for a bit to soften the oats and drink. Whole food would be better than mrp'sOriginally Posted by pumpthatiron
The curry would hold the oil/fat. Go easy on it. If i remember, you are trying to loose, right?Originally Posted by pumpthatiron
The paratha will contain oil. Better to get your fats from good sources. Try tuna+yams/sweet potatotes+veggiesOriginally Posted by pumpthatiron
Cottage cheese+walnuts.Originally Posted by pumpthatiron
If you really want this to work, you need to keep a close eye on the macros and cals and start counting them.
....and veggies
sweet potatos are great for you, and when your cutting or bulking. real food is a million times better, make your stomach work and use calories to digest that food your eating. and yes what aggies said, lots of veggies on cutting, celery and other tough vegetables would be very beneficial not only for nutrients and vitamins.
