      Hi Jules. You can indeed use a combination of the above ingredients, aslong as they contain atleast one Protein (P) ingredient. Fibre and Healthy Fats are a plus, and try to only take carbs (C) when you have to. Healthy fats are good as they are becoming your main energy source (on low carb diets. – see “Ketogenic diet” post). Remember the less carbs you take in, the less energy you’ll have to expend in training to reach your goal. Quantities should be kept low (except maybe with protein). When I give you your calorie guidelines on friday you can measure your ingredients (on kitchen scale, or according to nutritional information on pack). Eg, if you know you need 150gms of protein a day (i’ll tell you), and you need 5 meals a day, thats 30gms of protein per meal. You can than refer to nutritional information on packaging to find weight quantity needed for 30gms of protein (taking chicken as an example it would be 100gms of breast – as chicken is roughly 30% protein).
