70% of your carbs should come from morning and post workout meals,taper your carbs as you go through the day the last two meals should be vegetables instead of carbs. and eat mainly low glycemic carbs,the only time a insulin spike is benefical is after a workout.salt makes you retain water so if your cutting watch your sodium intake

Why should 70% of your carbs be in the morning? I eat almost all of my carbs in the late afternoon and evening and I'm doing fine.

Read the cutting sticky for general help. Also http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/ has some great articles on nutrition.

abcbodybuilding??? It's against the rule to bash other sites, otherwise I would have some choice comments.

i sport pro/fat meals at all times cept 2 meals before Resistance training session, PWO shake, and PPWO those are only 4 meals i get carbs in.

Refer to the IMPORTANT posts atop this page for good general advice.

ABC.......well, never mind.

For me, my carbs go like this, maybe 10% in the morn and like 90% post workout shake and meal.

I like the carbs when they really count

thanks for hte help every1 i was eating now carbs in the morning... are rice cakes a good source of carbs...im totally in the dark about the differnet types of carbs

Rice cakes, no, they are high GI. Some use them for after a workout immediately, but I prefer dextrose.

Good carbs are oatmeal, yams, sweet potatoes, rice, etc.

just curious, but would regular potatoes fall into this category of "good carbs" as well or not?

Yes, they are "good" carbs, as they are a "clean" carb food.

Now, the issue is that they are on the high end of the high gi food list, so their inclusion must be used usually during the PPWO time-frame. Some utilize them when bulking however w/lean meats at other times of the day, but usually stick to lower-gi carbs when cutting if carbs are eaten at any other time other than that of the PPWO offering.

hey nutz go buy you some chana dal i used to eat it all time.
its a sexy lil lentil w/ a GI of 8 :D

alright tai. and thanks swole. not to hijack, but is there anywhere online that has a list of the GI carbs on a scale or somethin goin from lowest to highest or vise-versa? so i can check it out without askin y'all all the time
