    If I want to eat cottage cheese as my LP but I buy quality cottage cheese Good but I cannot find it in fat free it only comes in low fat. Would I use that as a LP or a FP? I also want to know about the FP ground beef I eat is organic 93/7 but the food exchange list has 90% ground beef will it make a big difference?

    Do you recommend eating meal 1 or a smaller meal before weight training first thing in the morning? Is it okay to walk or bike ride on the rest days?

    If the fat for a meal would equal that of the cottage cheese, then you can make that call to use the fat in the cottage cheese as the fat for the meal. It will decrease the fat in the meal. You can look at what it equals out to be and again, make that call. You aren’t looking to be perfect just get really close. If you aren’t used to eating prior to training eat 1/2 of meal 1 before, your post workout meal after and a couple hours after that, finish your meal 1. Sure you can walk or bike…..just don’t overdo it.
