Turning around.......
Viking:
Thanks guys, it's a good point about finishing a plate, growing up as a kid we're allways told to finish your plate. I've really paid attention to portion sizing as before we'd make a meal that'd feed 4 and eat it just the 2 of us, usually with a good load going in the bin. I've bought a load of takeaway style containers so I'm still cooking for 4 but it's making us two meals instead.
How often do you recommend eating, I've read reading more small meals more often is adviseable, at the moment i've been eating very little until the evening meal.
I bought myself a weight bench to go with the exercise bike so I've got my own little "mini" gym going on with a nice big amp and speakers!!
Sir Harry:
If you go the small meal route, I would say probably about every 2-3 hours......Believe it or not, breakfast, IMO should be your heaviest meal of the day, but as was said earlier, you should not eat at least three hours prior to going to bed (some people may be able to get away with only two). The average adult male consumes about 2000-2300 calories per day, but my doctor says that non-gym rats should try to cap off their calorie intake at 1800....I cheat a little on this by drinking diet sodas when I drink them, and also don't add salt to your food...just a couple of small steps...Most importantly, don't look for overnight success...that's where many people go wrong.

That is an interesting tip! I might put that one in the bank.

Nice, sounds like your mini gym is coming along nicely!
Laser Man:
SlySirHarry, breakfast doesn't have to be the biggest meal, but it should be protein-rich since proteins pack a lot of energy and burn more slowly. Most American breakfasts are carb-rich, actually very fast burning carbs like processed cereals, white bread, bagels. Slower burning carbs like fruit and whole grains are better.
Viking:
Fortunatly I've discovered porridge with water, allways sounded horrible so previously I've only ever eaten it with milk but it's actually real nice so a nice bowl of that and some fruit it is!!
