why is pasta better than potatoes? From a Gi stand point, i would argue that pototes are a better carb sourse.

pasta is higher GI generally
neither is great
use sweet potatoes/yams

 

[ProtienFiend]

pasta is typically ~70 while potatoes are ~90

pasta also contains 7g protein/serving - i believe potatoes contain little if any

but the protein in pasta is incomplete and useless.

You are correct...

I think it looks good. I don't think it is too many shakes - it is only 2. There IS protein powder in meal 1 (I assume mixed in with your oatmeal), but that isn't too bad. I guess you could always keep the oatmeal, and have eggs as your protein source instead of the powder. You are eating 6 meals a day, so withonly 2 being shakes, that is 1/3 being supplements, and 2/3 being real food.

It is definately worth a try. If they planned it out for you, I would do a run with it AS IS and see what happens. If you don't get the results you desire, THEN come back and ask for advice on what to change.

Where are you buying the flaxseed oil???? And does it give you alot of gas?

 

[Clean]

flax doesn't give me gas

I'm not sure if you like fish or not, but I cannot imagine a good diet without fish. Fish will always be #1 in my book. Anyway, good luck with your diet.

a lot of proteins are incomplete... egg whites for example... does that make them useless?

and pasta still has a lower GI and a lower GL too I believe.
