Questions about "Sticky Diet" above

Ok, I've got my diet down and it seems to have been approved by Daman and Swole, so I just have a few questions about macros in my meals. For instance, in a protein/fat meal, it's almost impossible to have 0 carbs in it, b/c of little trace carbs that can add up. So, my question is, how many carbs can you get away with in a Pro/Fat meal, and how much fat can you get away with in a Carb/Pro Meal. My diet is for cutting, and I'm 6'5, 245.

Also, if I'm eating 4-5 meals a day that are Fat/Pro, how many of these should consist of Flax? Is it OK to have a salad with Fat-Full Ranch dressing and cheese, or Cheddar Cheese on an omelette, or should I be strict as hell and have flax as the fat source in all of my meals. THanks

You'll be fine eating a few carbs with your pro/fat meals.... just don't overdo it. When we say don't mix fats with carbs, we mean don't mix them in large ammounts. Don't have a meal with 30g of carbs and 15g of fat. That is insane. However, if your going to have a protein shake w/ let's say 3g carb and then some flax, the 3g of carbs from the protein shake are not going to hurt you. And in your Pro/Carb meals, keep the fat as low as possible. I usually don't go over 3-4g of fat in a pro/carb meal.

That freakin' sticky is also "lost" with the board issues as of late.

When you click it, nada there! :(

If it's not fixed soon, we can always re-post and re-stick.

Gotta love stickies! :D

It's there, I just read it.

Some of it is there, yes, but page 2 doesn't exist, lol.

At least the first page is back!

All of the bulking diet is lost. Thats sucks cuz i have to bulk starting next month, i hope someone can resubmit that sticky.

bump back to my question....LOL

Well, one of your questions was answered by LeanmeOUt, but as for the flax Q...

Dressing and cheese are saturated fats. They aren't the same as EFA's. I would say 3 of your meals should be rich in EFA to get you to your fat macro.
