IMO... i usually only eat carbs around my workouts on workout days...
so i would eliminate the breakfast carbs & the carbs at 12:30, but that's just my diet and it has been working for me. but on non training days i have the oats for breakfast.

I used to do that but then i was told that i should eat more good carbs....Anyone else care to comment on my diet??

I'd switch the 5:30 meal with the 12:30 meal.

Comments above in bold.

I was thinking the same thing about moving the 12:30 to the 5:30 but is that too many carbs too late in the day

You never listed your total's for daily cal's/macros, so I don't know.
