> [@On another topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/27009/13): > > Fat should be about 30% of your diet. Where 20% is unsat fat and 10% is sat fat. A good general rule is 30% fat, 30% carbs (veggies and wheat are good sources), and 40% protein. Then you should focus on reducing you calorie intake. To do that you need to get an idea of how much you need to maintain your current weight, then reduce it by 500 calories. If that doesn’t work good enough reduce it another 200-300 calories. Do all this while trying to eat 5-6 small meals/day which will help get your metabolism going. OK well that’s a little complicated… How about this… 0ne serving of whole grain carbs per day… this is whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, etc. (serving sizes are on the back on the conatiners… for example: I believe oatmeal is 1/2 cup uncooked. only 0 calorie drinks only fat free milk eat as much lean meat and veggies and fruit as you want. ---

Sounds pretty good to me…I would include nuts too…they are a good source of fat and protein. ---

I like the core plan. I think it is super easy. No writing things down. No measuring. Just stick to the basics. Today for lunch I had one boneless skinless chicken breast and a can of green beans. I have an apple for snack and will probably have oatmeal for dinner because my dinners are so late in the day I don’t like to eat to much at that time. ---

^ it is easy, but also involves some cooking. I _hate_ cooking so in that sense it isn’t easy, but in not writing everything down I love it. I make cous cous and canned chicken and that is usually my lunch. ---

I _hate_ cooking so in that sense it isn’t easy, but in not writing everything down I love it. I make cous cous and canned chicken and that is usually my lunch. I cook most of my core stuff in the microwave Chicken in the microwave is not pretty but tastes good. Frozen breast in a glass or ceramic dish Little bit of water and seasonings… cooks in about 12 minutes. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-whos-on-a-diet/187141.md?page=2)
