need to do a better job of spreading your carbs out from meals 3 and 6 to include more carbs in your other meals and especially pwo

what is the "mass shake." I can assume that the main source of carbohydrate in it is maltodextrin which is terrible for you except for maybe post workout. im guessing that it is gnc's mass xxx shake because that one happens to have exactly 123 grams of carbs and 50 grams of protein. I would shoot for at least 40 grams of protein per meal. definitely more carbs post workout. unless the buns are whole wheat i would suggest swapping them out for something else. maybe use one of those shakes post workout and add in a solid meal instead. i can only count 335 grams of carbs rather than 531.

thanks,yes it is GnC...i should up my carbs in regular meals such as veggie & potatoes use the shake for post work out!..and adjust to higher carbs in meal settings correct?...

i dont think you need to up your carbs any but instead just get them from better sources

[crazyhorse1960]

only carbs i knw are from rice, potatoes, yams stuff like that. other than that you have (glucose dex.) grape juice,Gatorade those consist of white sugars,witch i think are good before a work out.what do you think?..i do not want to be annoying but i feel i need to get right on track w/the diet,i am making good gains so far but i knw the diet got to be right to move further.i do appreciate your help!..

stick with sweet potatoes, yams, oats, barley, whole grain products, brown rice, beans, and fruits just to name a few. avoid all white flour and fast digesting sugars except for post-workout. ive recently started eating quinoa which is not only a great source of carbs but has a decent amount of complete protein in it. making it taste good is the tricky part.
