i don't even know your carb intake. can you post protein, carb, and fat intake.

you need pro/carb before a workout as well. i'd say cut the bread out of meal one. then also have that before your workout.

are you mixing your PWO shake with skim milk?

add something to that cottage cheese before bed. anything will do. many use fat to slow digestion overnight... but it matters very little.

have meal one at meal one time, but cut the bread. then have that exact same meal again, but in place of those almonds, before your workout.

add something to the cottage cheese before bed.

could i sub in a PreWO of 1 scoop whey (20g) and 1/2 cup dry oats? would that be around the same amount of nutrients as meal one?

**novastepp** · 08-05-2008, 12:00 PM

that would be ok i suppose, i always side with whole foods and not shakes. but it is never a bad idea to get your amino pool up before a workout, whey will do that. it is rapidly digested compared to whole foods so i would say have that meal as close to your workout as possible without making yourself sick. should be fine.

make those, and any other changes and repost that diet.
