Once a month? That's too much. Any more than that and it's not healthy for you.

Stolen from another forum.
Protein:
o Any fish or seafood (canned tuna, salmon, sole, tilapia, shrimp, etc).
o Eggs and egg whites
o Beef, pork, poultry, lamb, anything but prioritize lean sources
o Dairy products like cottage cheese, cheese, milk (many of them have high sugar content though, like yogurt)
o Protein powder (whey, casein, milk protein isolate, etc)
Carbohydrates:
o Prioritize vegetables which contain fibrous carbs (since they have a high nutrient density and a low caloric density, they can almost be eaten freely) suchas
* Green Leafy Lettuce (Green Leaf, Red, Leaf, Romaine)
* Broccoli
* Asparagus
* String Beans
* Okra
* Spinach
* Bell Peppers
* Brussel Sprouts
* Cauliflower
* Cabbage
* Celery
* Cucumber
* Eggplant
* Green or Red Pepper
* Onions
* Pumpkin
* Garlic
* Tomatoes
* Zucchini
o Fruits
o Starchy veggies (sweet potatoes, yam, legumes)
o Starchy products (Oat meal, oat bran, oat bran cereal, bran cereal, rice, whole-wheat pasta, 100% whole-grain products)
o Oatmeal (stick to the non-flavored/non-sugar packed ones, just plain oatmeal, the kind of oatmeal doesn't really matter)
o Legumes (they contain lots of protein but they usually are incomplete proteins and contain too much carb to be considered a protein source)
o Basically, the less refined stuff. Strive to eat stuff that was available a couple of hundred years ago and try to eat fewer food that come in a box.
Fat:
o Fatty fish (for example : salmon, mackerel, sardines)
o Omega 3 capsules (i.e. fish oil capsules).
o Oil from a vegetable source (olive, flax and sesame being the best)
o Egg yolks
o Nuts (prioritize walnuts due to their omega-3 content but other nuts like almonds, peanut, etc are fine)
o Any nut butter (almond, cashew, peanut, etc)
o Don't forget to count the fat that comes from your other foods, especially meat and dairy
MEAL PLANNING
Pick a source of protein, add a source of carb (veggies, fruits, grains) and/or a source of fat so that it fits your desired intake. There's a meal. Thenyou can find recipe on teh intraweb.
Example : chicken, pasta, olive oil. Search in google a recipe that has those and bingo.
Just combine. Fatty fish + rice + veggies. Beef + veggies (could be a stir fry, could be a stew, could be steak with veggies). Cottage cheese + fruits/yogurt.Tuna + bread (it's called a sandwich, it's awesome and portable).
CHEATING
As far as the weekly cheat meal goes, it all depends on how you do. If you can cheat more often without sacrificing results, fine, but if you fail to seeresults, stick to the one meal.
Cheating doesn't mean binging. It means "eating foods that you wouldn't usually chose without giving a @#%!". Keep the same portions as youusually eat.
If you want to eat a "cheat-like" food but you make it fit into your daily intake and macro breakdown while still eating the same nutrient-densefood, it's not a cheat. Example : eating a thin crust pizza with veggies and marinated chicken while still counting the cals/macronutrients is not a cheat.100% whole-wheat, protein enriched pasta with meat sauce and veggies (still counted) isn't a cheat.
Try to keep it PWO if you want to add up most of your carb intake in one meal though.
What to drink
What you drink doesn't have an influence on your satiety level so most people should stick to the beverages that contain no calories. If you want to gainweight and can't seem to eat enough, do the opposite. Try to avoid sugar-containing drink (most fruits flavoured drinks are to be avoided because of this,make sure it contains only fruits ideally). Mllk and whey is a good alternative. Search for weight gainer recipes if you want.
Dark coffee, tea, water should be a staple of your diet. You can use sweeteners (splenda, stevia). Crystal light, diet cola and other juice-like beverages areno brainers, as long as they don't have calories in them.
SODIUM INTAKE
Sodium will make you hold water and might increase blood pressure in about 20% of the population. Unless you have a high blood pressure, you don't need tothink about it (it's not a reason to overdo it though but checking it closely is not necessary).

Based on what? The intensity of the product will only need to be high if you eat lots of red meat and never cleaned your colon before. After that,it should be less intense. But either way your colon should be clean. If most Americans understood this, there wouldn't be such a big scare over"lines at the doctor's office."

I don't seem to get full off much...
I like Special K cereal though
. I make sandwiches on wheat bread (withham, egg and cheese).
Exercise: I work about 8.5 hours a day.
I think the bad part is that I eat 1-2 hours before I sleep (eat: 1145pm, sleep: 130am).
Any advice?
