I am breaking off of categorizing meals as breakfast, lunch or whatever. The idea is I need to eat 6+ times per day.

Convince the body it will be fed at regular intervals. Starving it is really bad, it reacts by preserving energy and stores body fat. A simple, small meal every 2 - 3 hours keeps the digestive system busy, continuous metabolism is better than taking a bomb 2 or 3 times per day.

Did some more reading on oat and wheat brans just to refresh my memory. I know first hand the benefits they offer, just needed a reminder.

1 cup is about 60g of wheat or 115g of oat bran.

So I need about a cup of oat bran per day to accelerate the cholesterol removal. 1/2 cup is probably a reasonable maintenance dose.

Wheat bran is like a toilet brush, probably has about as much nutritional value and tastes like it too. Worse, it's like chewing on a sponge. But it's a readily available source of good insoluble fiber so it's getting back on my table.

Other thoughts:
Easy on the oils and fats in the mornings and evening.

Have nothing to back this up with, however, I think starting the food processing machinery with oat bran in the morning is better than hitting it with a stick of butter. I like fats and I am aware I need a load of them for my kind of training. For energy as well as cell repair. But I think I'll consume most of my fats during the day when the furnace is burning full blast and let it calm down with perhaps more mush in the evening.

Body reminds me of an engine. It gunks up when revved cold.

Good fats, of course, almonds, hemp seed, olive oil, coconut (the medical and other literature tells us bad things about coconut oil, I have my own stubborn opinion about it. Look up medium chain fatty acids). Other nuts include pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and sunflower seeds. Raw, no salt, no crud. I also bake my breads with them.

1) Morning mush, 1/2 cup (before cooking) oat bran, cinnamon, blueberries

2) 1 pear

3) 2 cups of garlic egg drop soup, whole wheat toast. Water, 4 cloves, 1 egg, salt, pepper, cayenne, parsley. Yum.

4) Handful of almonds - finished the tamari almonds, we're going raw from now on

5) About 1/2 cup of fat turkey meat - cooked a couple of turkey thighs in the pressure cooker, the skin and cartilages just turn into jelly - lip smacking muscle and cartilage recovery stuff, protein, collagen.

6) Soup and sandwich - cup of turkey broth and red yam soup, slice of whole wheat bread, 2 slices of turkey breast, made a spicy spread of horseradish with olive oil and garlic instead of mayo

7) Cooked turkey, serving of mashed yams, serving or spinach
Last meal @ 7:30 pm

Water:
1 gallon + soups. Not too bad.

Thoughts for the day:
I think I ate a bit too much. Oops. The frequency is good, but I just felt quite full after the afternoon soup and sandwich.
