Ha. That recipe's bloody genius. Although on first glance I thought it was a bowl of wonton soup
On topic of making porridge less bland by adding stuff - I never understood this! Oatmeal tastes GREAT you f00lzz, whether with milk OR water! Who's with me?
With milk it's not bad just as is, but with water no it's just tasteless slop.
It's a masterpiece!
Obviously I'm not in any way a pro at this, but I will talk through my food and routine, so tips and everything would be good.
Breakfast - Oats and Piece of Fruit, Orange, Apple, Banana.
Snack 1 - Banana and Handful of Nuts
Lunch - Whole meal bread Chicken sandwich and eggs.
Snack 2 - No fat Vanilla Yogurt, Skimmed Milk, Berries or Fruit and Chocolate Whey Shake
Dinner - Brown Rice, Chicken, Chickpeas and Salad (no Iceburg)
Snack 3 - Piece of Fruit
I Mix it up a bit so I don't get bored.
Routine
Monday - Upperbody
Tuesday - Swimming
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Upperbody
Friday - Swimming
Saturday - Short Bike Ride
Sunday - Rest
Its not really my weight i'm worried about i'm 5ft 10 and 11 stone, its my Fat percentage that I want to get down.

It estimates I need 1500 calories a day, But I thought it was closer to 1800.
Missing out on a bit of calories, anyone got anything I could eat to top it up.
Missed out the shake on that list too. Doh. and the chickpeas...

infernox. are you a small lady? Because the protein there is very low if you're an ordinary sized male, particularly for sports/muscle maintenance purposes.

Ok.
Well, scientifically there's not much hard evidence for any benefits beyond 0.8g per lbs. This would put you as requiring around 125g protein. But since you are dieting, and to be safe (science hasn't discovered everything in these affairs), stick with the general 1g per lb recommendation. Go with 150g or so.
Now, as for calories, an intake of 1800 should be fine with sufficient activity levels. Plenty for now, anyway. Don't go below that. You have no need. Take it easy. You'll lose fat at a good rate on that, again, PROVIDED your activity levels are in check.

Day 2 of the uber diet and abs workout.
What do you guys put in your oatmeal/porridge to stop it tasting bland?
Mines quite bland.
Almond milk, scoop of whey and finish with blueberries.
Blast in microwave 1min 30sec - bliss
You stopped training. Your body is blaming you.
Yeh I was thinking that
I have tried an odd session whilst letting my back heal, just to see if I am ready to go back and I normally end up hurting my back again
