Odd...

I seem to have developed a slight headache.

I never get headaches, which makes me wonder if it is due to some other change that’s going on.

Let me see: today I have eaten a bowl of cornflakes, one apple and two bananas. I am going through a combination of lard withdrawal and vitamin overdose...

What will happen when the system realises it has all that roughage to play with?

Oh dear.

There's not a great deal of protein there really is there?

Best advice I heard (though find perilously difficult to follow) is: Breakfast like a King, lunch like middle management, dinner like a pauper.

I do manage to get through at least a pint of milk a day, so I'm not too worried about net protein intake (and there is dinner to come!).

the saying breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper is spot on.

Oddly though, balanced nutritional intake doesn't require that much protien, far more importnat are carbs, bread, pasta rice cereals etc these are the core fuels for the body.

Breads and cereals should make up the major part of a persons diet - by consuming approx 5 to 12 portions of these per day.
2 servings of dairy
2 to 5 servings of veg and fruit
2 servings of meet or fish
Cake, confectionary, sweets etc should only be had very occaisionaly maybe once a week.

The Carbs (sugars and starch)provide energy.
The protien aids growth, tissue and cell and repair.
Fats are used to motabolise food for energy and warmth (survival issue in pre history - not essential in developed countries).
Vitimins and Minerals are used to reinforce imune system, body chemistry.

Interestingly a report was published today which said that buy making four simple changes (giving up fags, drinking in moderation, eating a fruit and veg based diet and taking exercise) an average person could expect to add 14 years to their life expectancy. (no $h!t Sherlock!)
