carb dependant?
sorry for yet another post 
but this seems quite important, is it possible to be carb dependant? I've read about being allergic to carbs and carb tollerent but not being dependant?
I seem to NEED spuds, bread, pasta, rice with every meal to make me feel full, to sort of stodge the meals out a bit if that makes sense? this is obviously not good if your carrying a few extra pounds and wish to get rid of them, is there anything I can replace them with?
cheers

Everyone is different at the end of the day and some people get on better on certain micronutrients than others.
I would keep an eye on your portion sizes, you want to get rid of a few extra pounds so it is important to know the amount you are consuming...especially carbs.
If you have worked out your daily calorie requirements for your goal then carbs have there place. Once you have this figure, follow the ratio below and you can keep the carbs in.
Protein 40%-Carbs 40% and Fat 20%.
So you can have the spuds, rice and pasta just in the correct amounts even if you end up weighing it. Then fill your plate with veg or salad to bulk the feed and eat every 3 hours and you should be fine.
Work out your calories and follow the above then you will adjust and reep more results.
Start with your weight in stone x 14 = ? x10=daily calories required to loose. This is a starting figure so see how you go and adjust as needed.
Then split into the 40%-40%-20% as above then into six meals a day and you are ready to shed the pounds.
Hope that helps.

thanks for your advice,
So, weight in pounds X 10 = 1890, so is that 1890 calories less than I'm on now or 1890 calories for the day?
and 6 meals a day is gonna be bloody hard work, I only have 1 main meal a day at present and sometimes cant be arsed to make that

Yes Matt.
Start at 1890 per day if you want to shift some weight. This is a starting point for your weight and see how you go.
Protein 40% = 756calories /4 = 189g per day
Carbs 40% = 756calories /4 = 189g per day
Fat 20% = 378calories /9 = 42g per day
You do need to eat 6-7 small meals a day, by doing this you will store less fat and boost your metabolism which in turn will burn calories.
One meal a day will not work.....if you starve yourself or don't feed your body it will actually store fat. This is because the body goes into survival mode as you are depriving it of nutrition, so will store what it can.
Not hard to figure mate...

You will feel better following the above and have more energy, have a look through some of the other post on the foods, this one may help..

If you can't work out the above I suggest you send Paul Eggleton a PM and he will do it for you....will be money well spent if you are serious.
Good luck mate

If I worked regular 9-5 office hours or similar 6-7 meals wouldnt be a problem, I work a 3 shift rotating pattern, and I'm not aloud to eat at work unless its break time, so I'm all over the place most of the time, hence it being easier to have 1 cooked meal a day and perhaps try and grab a sandwhich for dinner, trust me I'm far from starving myself
I will give it a try, but I'm not holding out much hope of sticking to it
Thanks for breaking down the calories to protein/carb/fat grams anyway, I'll have a look and see where I stand
