your mixing carbs and fats in the same meal a couple times bro
also, use dextrose for PWO carbs.

it still needs a ton of adjusting but those are things that glare out

thanks LMO.dropping the carbs will that not reduce my calories to low for putting weight on?

**Mass Quest** · 07-14-2004, 02:56 PM

Not if you adjust your pro/fat meals according to accomodate you dropping the carbs. Ideally if I were you I would add 1 more meal somewhere in there, and possibly do something like this if you really feel you need the extra carbs to gain:

Meal1: Pro/Carb
Meal2: Pro/Fat
Meal3: Pro/Carb
Meal4: Pro/Fat
Meal5: PWO
Meal6: PPWO
Meal7: Pro/Fat
Meal8: Pro/Fat

That is fine to stick with those 2, when I say add fat I mean EFA's. Most of your fats should be unsaturated

Sweet potato's are lower on the GI index

sweet potatoes should be part of everyone's bulking diet...there is no 'healthier' food on the planet (IMO and others as well), in terms of vitamin and phytochemical concentration, and is a staple vegetable for 'cleaning you out'....
now, i'm not advocating eating a sweet potato everyday for lunch and dinner, but this is an often times forgotten food...
oh yeah, and remember: no butter!
