    Bread?

    Got a quick question, i am currently cutting. I like to eat bread with my chicken at my like 6th meal. Is it a bad thing, I am using 7 grain bread? I just get tired of eating chicken plane all the time, i usually throw some shredded lettuce in there.

    Its all a matter of how fast you want results. Personally I wouldn't have the bread, and I don't think you should either. Bread has no place in a cutting diet.

    do u do this to just keep the insulin spike goin by having a high glycemic carb with ur protein as ur ppwo meal to carry the nutrients to the muscles?

    The high GI carbs that are used PWO and PPWO are for replacing the glycogen in your muscles as well as spiking your insulin level to shuttle the protein faster to your muscles (PWO).

    I'd double check that nutrition label. Most often, "7-grain bread" isn't actually whole grain. Look for the words "whole grain" in the ingredients. It should also have at least 2 grams of fiber per slice..probably even more.

    i think it would depend on how fast you wanna cut....for a super strict cutter most likely no...for general dieting and leaning out i think it could be used.

    ohh for cutting i would ditch it period..but im bulking and am an endomorph so i was a lil worried..i just wanna get the most out of my workouts by getting the nutrients to the muscles to start rebuilding them so i can get big..since ive started i have always been using brown rice as a pwwo meal.should i switch this for a higher glycemic carb here
