FAT BOY, thanks for the info; I am classic endomorph, find it difficult to shift fat hence low carbs. Can I ask what you don't like about the quark and cottage cheese? Also, what time of day do you think is best to take fish oil?

Thanks for the replies, but cottage cheese isn't high in fat at all; 0.9 per 100g in fact, and carbs are 6.9g per 100g. Taking that into acount, how do you think I should adjust diet now?
Also, I love eggs but I'm concerned about cholesterol - how many do you reckon someone can get away with taking every day?

Generally, if you are looking for a lean non-fat look that isn't extreme, you want about 10 - 12%. So really you just calculate it from that. Say you are 17% now, you calculate how much fat you have to lose based on your LBM (lean body mass - i.e. muscle mass) and weight. Shoot for about 10 - 20lbs total weight loss if you dont have access to a fat percentage machine maybe ! |
Sorry mate, I meant how much fat in my diet!! My bf% is in the high teens and am going for a trim but not ripped look, lots of stomach definition but not a washboard - so like you say around 12%, I estimate 4 lb off my 156lb that I weigh but I'm prepared to have underestimated!. My stomach looks pretty much the same as my intro thread you posted in.

Quark is a low fat soft cheese, great with fruit and low calorie sweetner mixed in and packs ~30g protein per 250g tub and similar to cottage cheese in nutritional terms; protein 12.3 g, carbs 4.1g and fat 0.2g per 100g. Given the nutritional info, any opinions on when best to have?
