so my recommendation is to eat a little bit of everything, meat, oily fish, chicken, vegetables, fruits, chocolate (70%-85%), rice, pasta, cereals, bread olive oil etc...
As you may know in Spain (at least in Mallorca) we "tend" (not everyone of course) to eat the Mediterranean diet avoiding eating fried foods, fast food,pastry, sweets...
PS: If you are a sportsman don't cut down the carbohydrates, they're necessary, many guys who want to have big muscles stop eating carbohydrates and start eating proteins all day, not a good thing for your health, yep your muscles will be bigger, but your kidney will be worse, just an advice, not kidding.
If your an sportsman you need to eat carbohydrates every day, thats simple, i'm saying this because i know friends who had problems in the past with all these stuff. You know... everyone wants to be the guy with biggest muscles when the summer starts, and they follow "bad" "unhealthy" diets.

Is this chart per day or per week or what?
So, carbs and veg should be the main backbone of all meals?
Hmm, I always feel bad when I eat a lot of rice/pasta/bread, I guess it fills you up very quickly.

Since his name is 'Beltic Caldy' I always just assumed it was a switched around version of Celtic Baldy

nice one Cro and happy days! sounds like you've got a good set of genes there - some of us more blessed in that sense than others, but regardless - study after study show the same basic 'fact' - genes may 'load the gun', but diet pulls the trigger...it sounds like Al's trigger is being pulled....with the great news (if that is the case) being that changing diet, while being kinda daunting, is not as difficult as we build it up to be...I know this from experience
