    1 fuji Apple fuji, granny smith, or macintosh - **** it - and eat some real food: meat/veg/fat - get a full serving of protein in, just give it 30 mins to digest before you start doing heavy sets.

    1 Chocolate chip cookie why!? but hey, you didn't say you wanted to lose weight or eat healthy, I'm gonna let it go. Your body does not need this or any other sweet PWO in any way shape or form though, just an FYI.

    Also, if you wanna take your pro intake over the top or you don't get enough during business hours for any reason - just set an alarm for some time during the night and slam a shake.

    So why not train at 6,7,or 8 then use that late night training for sleep? This would be more beneficial.

    If you are trying to gain/cut body fat then you DO NOT need simple carbs, ever. You should cut them from your diet along with any extra sugar (fruit, processed peanut butter, sports drinks, etc.) Get familiar with sweet potatoes and butternut/acorn squashes because they are delicious and low cal complex carbs. Of course, oats/ezekiel bread/stone ground grits/barley/brown rice are great sources of complex carbs; I just find some well prepared sweet potatoes and squashes are actually incredibly tasty and make it easy to cut out simple carbs.

    Alright. SImple carbs are out of there. I can do squash. I just cant keep sweet potatoes down for some reason. Bad childhood experiance I guess. Anyway thanx for the feedback man. I'm gonna try and stay as strict as possible.
