seems like 100% whole wheat bread(don't be cheap buy the good kind) and cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese isn't to bad. Its like a bit bitter and sour at same time but good.

Or even try some whole wheat bagels with cottage cheese. Eating carbs like bread isn't bad if you work out well.

Edit: Try drinking some hot tea as well with honey. I am not no expert in nutrition but you can also get light wheat bread. Tell you truth I don't even know why I am posting here. I do know that as long as I drink water and work as hard as I want(in the regions I want fancied) I can gain it. Oh stay away from sugary cereals. Fruits containing sugar is a better alternative.

Cardio on an empty stomach might not be a good idea. I've heard that cardio before breakfast will mean your body wants to put on any fat that it can for a period after, and also that you'll burn muscle and not fat when you exercise on an empty stomach.

Here's a link I found after a little bit of googling; it's some people's personal opinions on exercise before eating.

Obviously these are just people's unprofessional opinions, but it's some food for thought.

Wohmfg, thanks for the link!

In simple man terms (my terms), excessively hard cardio with no energy to back it up causes the body to freak and go after muscle not fat. IF I cardio on an empty stomach, I go at no higher than 65-70%. I will go to 85% if I have had a small meal prior to.

Is basically what I was advocating :p

Don't sprint around or do some Lance Armstrong biking, just go at a medium intensity and you'll be fine.

Your body is like a lake of fat, it drains from all places at once. You are not going to "lose fat" from your stomach any more than you'll lose it from your butt, legs, arms, whatever.

Eat bananas, high fiber cereal, oats, brown pasta/bread, chicken, eggs (remove the yolks if you're hardcore about fitness, it has all of the fat in an egg), and only drink water.

Doing push ups is the wrong way to go about losing weight, by the way. You're gonna want to, if trying to lose fat, do cardio 3~ times a week, with lifting weights 2~ times a week. Get a gym membership, unless you have a squat cage and a bench with enough weights at home.

Cottage cheese has the consistency of vomit and the taste of, well, curds of cheese with water surrounding them. I think it tastes horrible and would never concede to eating it, regardless of how fit I wanted to be, but that's just me. My mom's boyfriend loves the stuff, but I really can't handle it.

Also, I can't stress how important water drinking is. You can have milk as well, but just keep it moderated. Milk contains a high fat count, and as such, isn't the best drink you can have. Aim to eat 5-6 times a day, and never to be hungry or full. Find balance.

Consistency is key, and exercise is only 20% of the battle. If you can keep with a good diet, you're on the road to becoming a fit person, and consequently looking great.
