Thanks in advance,

Use the full fat mayo, as w/your breakdowns you are fine doing that.

what kind of ratios (protien/carb/fat) and about how many calories are you pulling in that diet..?

Not enough carbs, I'd personally burn out on that diet.

So what are you suggesting?
Cut the fat and replace it with a carb source such as oats first thing in the morning, and rotate my meals from fat/pro then pro/carb?

If you could elaborate that would be great, thanks.

hi there,

I would also probably suggest to have carbs in the morning. I think the 3 best times to focus carb intake is breakfast, PWO and PPWO. You have the latter two sorted out, and I think perhaps an egg white omellete with a bowl of oats in the morning would be better (and healthier!) than 5 whole eggs. At the end of the day though it depends on how many carbs you want to limit yourself to in total for the day

I would definately put some carbs in preworkout on your non-cardio days. Something low GI like whole weat bread with fat free cheese or fruit.

lol whole wheat breat of fruit before a workout? lol.......

apple...yeah, bread...no!

Bread?

:unsure:

GI of brown rice: 79
GI of whole wheat bread: 87

I fail to see what's wrong with eating some fast digesting carbs immediately before workout to keep your energy levels up.

Brown rice = unprocessed carb, no gluten, no bloating, no hydrogenated oils.

Wheat bread = processed carb, gluten, tends to bloat SOME people (same w/pasta), and many have hydro oils.

GI factor has nothing to do with why I threw a :unsure: logo in the above post.

what about the low carb atkins bread like 3g net carbs per slice of the rye?
