      So i'm left with my cheap oeatmeal.

      Oh mean! What about cream of wheat or Grits?

      Grits are available in wheat and corn version. Got raised with that stuff. I looked around in the grocery store and we have rice flour, which is equally expensive but not really the same thing as cream of rice.

      When it comes to fat loss do you prefer a consistent diet approach (just for example- 250g pro, 300g carb, 40g fat) every day until progress stops and adjusting, or carb cycling?

      Interesting. My German clients came and stayed with me for a week last week and told me similar stuff with certain foods.

      Oh yes but I would start with less carbs and more fats. I have become a higher fat person and it works much better for me. I am prepping myself now for a photo shoot for Universal and have not changed my diet once for 11 weeks with steady weight loss. The only think I have changed is cardio and how my refeeds go. (high carbs days vs single large carb and fat meal once per week)

      ACV= Apple cider Vinegar with a mother (pulp). Helps promote digestion by creating balanced PH in your stomach. More often than not the amount of alkaline foods we eat in a bodybuilding diet are low. The stomach acid becomes to acidic which disrupts the natural digestive bacteria in the stomach. Causing gas, bloating, and in some cases constipation. ACV being very alkaline helps balance that out thus promoting digestion. Probably one of the best things I have ever brought into my diet. I have no gas, no bloating, and are moving my bowels 2x per day during a dieting phase which is unheard of for me.

      What's a good "rule of thumb" on daily fat intake for someone over 50? Currently, running 75 - 90 grams and working toward adding mass. Looking to bring my carb intake down from 250 - 350 grams.

      Well it is all really dependent on what you have been doing and of course your total carb/calorie intake. Generally I do .5g fat per lbs of body weight. So I am 250 on average in the off season (not sloppy) and will do 125g fat per day total. Carbs around 250g

      I would for sure add more carbs to my current plan if I was not gaining and I HAD an appetite. If I do NOT have an appetite I would do two things. Change the carbs to more simple sources but keep the amount per day the same ( bagels. white rice, English muffins (things that are generally easy to eat) and would add more fats. Maybe go up 300 cals in fats per day. Then reassess in 7 days.

      I am still using a meal plan designed by you when we worked together back in August 2016. The only adjustments I made were adding carbs to my intra and post workout meals. I have been gaining 1 to 3 pounds per month and my strength is increasing. My appetite is never an issue. My plan is to change nothing at the moment. As always, your insight is greatly appreciated.

      Well that sounds good and if you are getting stronger along with that weight again and YOU ARE NOT getting noticeably softer then you rate is good. 1-2 lbs per month probably better.

      My UC now is 100% under control. I think I may have had 2 minor flare ups in the last 12 months. As long as I stay away from heavy stimulants, stay on strict diet, and manage stress I am 100% fine. If I have a day that is stressful and or say jacked myself up with stims I fall apart in hours. I do not take any extra vitamins no. I actually do not even take a pak. I do Fish oil, vitamin C, Ubiquinol, and B-complex.
