Eating 4/5 meals a day consisting of:

Lean protein/lettuce or green veggies/ fruit
Ie chicken breast/ lettuce/banana
steak/broccoli/apple

Just wondering if you really needed to eat rice/yams/ etc

Any ideas?

that is pretty low on the carb end. Why only fruit as your carb? Why not more diverse sources, brown rice, beans, I like whole wheat pasta, whole grain couscous with milled flax seeds I like a lot too, oatmeal, whole grain breads, cerals like uncle sam, ezikial, etc...

Just wondered if carbs were essential or if you could 'get away' with just fruits and veggies. I guess not. Never heard of Uncle Sams cereal. Wud you consider 'granary' or 'wholemeal' to be whole grain?

oatmeal is good.

you need some carbs in your diet. remeber, insulin IS anabolic.

Ive got bags of brown rice, scots porridge oats, yams etc @ home just didnt know whether they were necessary or you just needed veggies and fruit thanks for clearin that up.

Yep, you're going to need a fairly good amount of clean carbs to bulk/gain weight... I probably consume at least 200g's even when I'm trying to lose weight, and anywhere from 300-500 when gaining weight, but of course, that's going to vary from person to person, as well as how it factors in to your total calories.

Add a sweet potato to a few meals and have oats for breckfast.

so you all increase the amount of clean carbs quite a bit along with everything else? The reason I ask is because I need some ideas to add to my dinner lol. I usually eat brown rice as part of my dinner, would whole grain pasta in addition to that be too many carbs for a meal?
