The MORE I read............

[JKurz1]

The more I find out that many people use one food for a carb source, i.e. rice, oats, yams, etc........Does anyone subscribe to this theory? I was thinking about having 1/2 cup -3/4 cup of steel cut oats 4x a day (first four meals) than switching to fiberous veggies............def. make for less planning.......anyone?

I don't understand what the benefit of that would be... unless like you said, it just saves time thinking about what you're going to eat. However, eating a variety of foods I would think would be healthier since you obviously get more nutrients from some foods than others. But then again, a lot of bodybuilders overlook "eating healthy" to achieve their goals...
Besides that, by the end of a couple weeks of doing this, would you ever be able to eat oats again?

It would be a great benefit as oats are a very solid carb source......no, honey, I eat to train...........I've probably eaten a doen eggs and chicken breasts for the past 2 years......DAILY!

i've switched to oats for my first 2 meals and beans for my 3rd meal.

the rest are protein/fat meals.

I use brown rice and oatbran almost exclusively, makes it very easy to plan and cook the meals for the week. I Cook one big pot of brown rice, 6 chicken breasts, some turkey patties, salmon and ground turkey on Sunday, then weigh and put each meal in a tupperware container. Through out the week, all I do is reach in the fridge and grab my meals for the day. I think that varying the meats/protein helps me over look the monotomy of the brown rice. I spice it up once in a while with beans or low carb torts instead of rice. I also use alot of fibrous veggies when I cut carbs very low. I only use oatbran for protein shakes, usually 2-3 meals of the day.

Are you still using the Carb Counters low carb milk? They stopped selling it at the Trader Joes where I used to buy it so I'm wondering if it's just TJ's or everywhere.
