    I have seen a lot of stuff on this thread about what kind of cholesterol is in eggs. If you eat hardboiled eggs, be sure to try and lay off the yoke. The yoke is where all of the LDL cholesterol is (LDL is bad, HDL is good = it moves fat out of the arteries). If you take out the yoke, like in egg whites, you can pretty much eat as much as you want.

    But the yolk has the good stuff. Vitamins, minerals, fats and half the protein.

    He eats organic blue cabbage

    And Kangroo meat - which is virtually fat free.

    This was what he was eating in the build up to the Harrison fight.

    A load of **** that is. Eating cholesterol does not alter blood cholesterol levels. The yolk is where all the good stuff is.

    great thread.
    im about 6ft weigh roughly 140 im skinny as you like,
    my goal is to put on weight aswell as eat healthily (or at least turn the useless fat i have into muscle) as i wish to get into boxing
    i know how to cook virtually nothing
    im also pretty sure i have a fast metabolism as i have been roughly this weight since i was 16.
    anyone get any simple pointers to get me on the right track?
    thanks

    How old are you?

    What is your current diet like? (work day and non-work day) - be honest otherwise it's harder to offer advice

    right now i am not working due to mental health problems but i try to go running day in-day out.
    budget is not a major issue but obviously dont wanna spend a fortune.
    also my cooking facilitys are pretty much prehistoric, not got gas

    Ok, this is the diet I follow on work days, it's worked very well for me with putting weight on and I had a similar frame to you -

    breakfast - porridge (1 or 2 sachets)
    snack - banana, apple
    snack - 2 oranges
    lunch - tuna mayo sandwiches (brown bread, 4 slices and 1 can of tuna)
    snack - salad pot (usually a handful of spinach, 1/4 cucumber, a dozen cherry tomatoes and a couple of carrots)
    snack - banana, yogurt
    tea - 1 decent sized meal I normally opt for spag bol, curry etc, home made, with about 300g of meat)
    snack (if time) - cottage cheese with chives

    if you want to throw in a packet of nuts or crisps as well, feel free to do so. I find sometimes the lack of savoury food drives me mad.

    does it sound like a feasible diet for you to work with? I usually spend £25-30 a week on all the above, so not too expensive either.
