Carb/Fat Separation Question

[shutup171]

if youre eating a pro/carb meal its obviously very hard to completely eliminate fats entirely from the meal.. likewise if youre eating a pro/fat meal its very hard to get rid of all carbs. hypothetically, youre eating a pro/carb meal and you choose 90% lean ground beef as your protein source. you want at least 5oz. of the meat but then realize that that provides you with roughly 15g of fat for the meal. is 15g fat more than your limit for a pro/carb meal? in fact, what exactly would you limit your fats to in a pro/carb meal, and your carbs to in a pro/fat meal? if you were to use this protein source in a pro/carb meal, would you then limit your fat intake one of your pro/fat meals to balance your macros for the day? would you ever actually eat 90% lean beef with carbs in a meal?

thanks.

i not a big fan of seperation .. because its very difficult but 5-20g of fat per meal aint bad really

i would choose a different protein source for those meals. egg whites or chicken have little to no fat. if you wanted to really try and seperate these meals these sources could allow you to do that.

It's actually very easy to seperate them.

i think tuna (in water) also has good protein with very little fat... i usually use just egg whites and chicken breasts though.

Id say below 10grams and your good to go. 90% lean beef is NOT a good option for a pro/carb meal. Chicken breasts, tuna, cod is better choise.

Like swole said its very easy to separate.

its not hard

pro/carb meals are always so bland
and pro/fat meals are never very filling

Yep. My protein sources while I pro/carb are usually chicken or eggwhites and whey isolate if I dont have time for solid food..which I limit to at most 1 per day IF I have to.

Bland? No way Jose!! What are you eating?

If pro/fat ain't filling, u aren't eating enough.

who would've thought such a simple list would be so helpful. Thanks membrane.

[novastepp]

i personally don't like that list at all.

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

i personally don't like that list at all.

its over-simplified I agree, doesnt take into consideration different types of carbs and all...was just trying to demonstrate "separation" is possible

So what would you "personally" recommend?

Your comment has nothing to do w/the thread, it's just a statement and a rather stupid one at that.

I think your list is great, and it actually HELPS education wise in this thread unlike mere bonehead statements that only degrade a poster.

seemed pretty helpful to me

[novastepp]

ok now that i look it over i see what he was saying. thought we were combining the top with the bottom. didn't notice the two different lists. one of those things you look at and certain words jump at you. sorry Insane. no harm man.

[novastepp]

seemed pretty helped to me

yeah man i totally read it wrong. my bad. it is a good separation list.

[SwoleCat]

That's better.

As for your other post about me, bye bye.
