I take my fats in the morning and with my second to last meal. Almonds fish oil and natty pb are good choices. Also olive, grapeseed and flax oil. Avacadoes are good too.

Most of my carbs come in the morning and of course PWO, but I have some with every meal. Balance it out and you'll be fine. If you want a critique of your planned diet, just post er up.

thanks rugger. still want to tweak the diet before i post it. i'm going to pick up some flax oil as i know its very good for you. if you could, would you give me examples of what fats you use and how much?

I guess I change it up some. i eat quite a bit of fish, mostly salmon and tilapia but if not i will take fish oil twice that day (second meal and second to the last meal). Most of the time I will take a flax or grapeseed cap with each meal (Unless there's another fat source in the meal), every oil converts differently so i like to change them up, there's a lot of choices out there. I also take more on my weekends (rest days) because I carb up on those days.
