Carbs when dieting?

Yes, I would go with the Protein/fat meal after cardio. Keeps the fat burning affect going ;)
 
dieting w/o carbs is a BITCH.......I have tried it and so has buff and everyone else on the planet, does it work

simply said yes

BUT dieting WITH carbs is so much easier mentally and strength wise. I vote for a lower carb diet while cutting, never cut carbs completely or you will suffer in the gym, and in everything you do thru the day

^^ G4E knows what its like to go through that diet. And I agree with his post 100%

Here is the jest:

Protein + Fat = :)
Protien + Carbs = :)
Protein + Fat + Carbs = :(

Stick with low GI carbs, and you've gotta have carbs in general after workouts - period.

Oatmeal you say? Just to be sure, don't use the "instant oats" because of all the sugars.

Take 200mg or R-ALA 15-20min prior to cooking your oatmeal, then (Go with old fahioned rolled oats) cook 1cup in 2cups of water for at least 10minutes on med, med-high. Then on low for an additional 5 minutes. Let it sit to cool.

Just my opinon.

Good luck kc
 
Carbs with each meal IMO. Steak (lean cut - 6-8oz), Fish, Egg whites or Chicken with sweet potato or brown rice (1cup).

The most important carb intake is PWO.

So your only taking in carbs twice a day on non-training days?

To loose body fat - you need up up your metabolism. To do this, you have to each frequently. It's harder than it sounds. Resistance training does help increase metabolism, but the choice and frequency of meals you eat daily are the core and backbone to loosing bodyfat.

Remember to use the mirror and not a scale to measure progress. "Look, I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks!" - anyone can drop weight like that, problem is - that weight loss came from water and muscle mass. :)

Should have asked what we do for dieting :D

Low carb, TCD..all work, but I'll tell you what, I've been able to get as lean if not leaner fallowing a high protein/moderate carb/low fat approach. It has worked wonders for me and for my clients. You can still pound away in the gym and lose body fat without going nuts lol. It can be done!

I like to use carb cut off for maybe the last or depending the person, last two meals of the day. Every meal before that being Protein/carb/fat :)
 
It depends when you workout. Some people work nights so it's a bit different. But lets say you work mornings like normal people :)

Workout days (depending the person), could go with no carb cut off.

Meals 1-4 being Protein/carb/fat meals
Meal 5-6 being only Protein carb meals (post workout meals)

On non training days you could go meal 1-5 protein/carb/fat meals
Meal 6 being your carb cut off protein/fat

I have no set ratio, it all will really depend on the person. Some people need to eat 2g of protein per pound to not lose any muscle while dieting, some could go as low as 1 gram.

Same for carbs, would depend on weight, how they react to carb intake. Average I'd say anywhere from 40-60grams of carbs per meal

As far as fats, you want to keep them low. Anywhere from 15-8grams per meal(depending on weight, metabolism etc.)
 
^ Carb cycling - it works! ;)

It's hard to say eat this or that - as buffness indicated, everyone is different adn you need to find which and what works best for you (or any individual).

Good luck!
 
Sure why not :D

Typical day for me

Meals 1-4
70grams of Protein
40 grams of carbs
8-10 grams of fat

Meal 5-6
70 grams of protein
15-20 grams of fat

Some days I get up earlier so I will split up one of the meals in there and just have 2 separate meals instead of the one so I don't get hungry the whole day :D That would make 7 meals

I eat a lot of ground beef(95%lean)..In fact that's all I eat lol. Some chicken here and there, but Beef is my main protein source.

As far as carbs..anything low GI is fair game :)

Fats come from flax, fish oil..but I must admit, I'm a huge peanut-butter eater :D

If I need to drop body fat I'll look at my activity level first since calories are on the low side :D. Then If I must I'll cut back on some carbs, maybe a little protein since fats are already pretty low.
