Rep Power: 14 | | | So what fruit and vegetables should I steer clear of?
I believe grapes are full of sugar? Not sure about any veggies. Also I cant stomach Oatmeal for some reason Is there anything I can blend in with it to help me eat it? Otherwise what can I substitute in its place for breakfast? |

Rep Power: 18 | | | Oatmeal is a great breakfast because it's sugar-free and high in fibre; but there are other suitable cereals out there. Kashi Go Lean, Cheerios, Grape Nuts, Shredded Wheat are all fine - just be sure to get the regular, ie NOT frosted cheerios, or grape nuts flakes, etc. I like my Grape Nuts with some Splenda or some blueberries. YUMMM
All fruit is full of sugar - that's what they are - fructose. Grapes get a bad rap because they're not as high in fibre as other fruits are. I don't think you should steer clear of fruits, though - some of the best fruits are oranges, apples, berries, kiwi, apricots, bananas, etc.
Carrots, peas, and corn are starchy vegetables and have a lot of carbs. If you're going to eat them (and it's fine - all very healthy), eat them with your protein+carb meal. Most other veggies - green leafy types (spinach, broccoli), peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. - have minimal carbs so you can eat them all day.

Rep Power: 20 | | | Also, starch breaks down very slowly, so if you want complex carbs (with are good for energy-over-time rather than a single jolt like in sugars) you don't want to get too many of these as they are (some believe) overly rich in them. A better source of complex carbs are leafy green vegetables. So these starchy vegetables (e.g., corn, potatoes, peas, string beans) are better taken early in the day with leafy greans later in the day to ensure that you're not still releasing too much energy while you sleep.
Fruits are sugary, but it's not a bad source of sugar. Remember that fruits contain a great deal of water, so there's a BIG difference between the sugar content of an orange, and a packaged sugary snack of the same size. Fruits contain a great deal of fiber in their connective tissues so they aid in digestion of the various other nutrients in the fruit. |

Booboofetish - Actually red grapes are a wonderful fruit. Ever hear of the hype surrounding red wine? It ain't so much the alchol as it is the inner lining of the red grape itself... it is full of good stuff.
Take care.... |

I love them. OH yea Quaker Oatmeal The reg old fashioned kind OMG if it was high in calories i would eat 2 cups of it every morning for breakfast but sometimes if i have egg whites i'll just have a 1/2 cup of it but if its mostly by itself ill have a full cup. How many maximum calories should i have in each meal if i eat around 4-5-6 meals a day??

I also had some steak a cup of wild rice and half cup of hominey | 1/2 cup dry oatmeal (before cooking) has 150 calories. If you're eating 6 meals per day, and, for example, say your limit is 1800 calories, then each meal should be approximately 300 calories. That's the equivilant of 1/2 cup oatmeal + 1/2 cup blueberries + 3 oz. grilled chicken breast. OR 1/2 can of tuna + 1 ounce walnuts. etc.
Basically, the body only needs carbs at specific times during the day: breakfast, post work-out, and post-post work-out. The rest of your meals should be consisted of protein + fat.
