There are basically 2 types of complex carbs - fiberous complex and starchy complex. The latter would be potatoes, rice, pasta, etc. Fiberous veggies such as broccoli, spinach, asparagus, sprouts... green veggies basically... are a complex carb but alot of it is insoluble fiber. They are also relatively low calorie especially when compared to a potato or pasta for instance. In fact, because of the fiber content, some are so much work for your body to try and break down, you actually use more calories than the veggie provided... literally negative calorie food. This will never be the case with any starchy carb...
That said, fiberous veggies are good all throughout the day, any time, as much as you can - so long as they're accounted for and fit in your daily calorie/carb allotment.Last edited by gbrice75; 07-16-2010 at 07:17 PM.

Thanks for the info guys, Ive since started cooking my afternoon veggies in EVOO, and switched to the Quaker whole rolled oats rather than the Instan stuff. Also started with the natty pb before bed. Still gonna tweak it here and there to fit my day better.

Np. If possible, try not to cook the veggies in EVOO ( I know it's tough) but rather keep it room temperature and then drizzle it right over the cooked veggies. I understand that cooking it can 'kill' the beneficial properties of it.

EVOO has the lowest smoke-point of any oil. Meaning that at only 360 degrees (less than the standard deep-fryer temp in most commercial kitchens) - it will go up in smoke, break down and lose all beneficial properties. If you're slow roasting your veggies in a light toss of EVOO, it shouldn't be a problem but to pan fry/saute certainly is. The oil cannot be directly heated beyond 360 degrees. Plus, it's easier to track your intake of fat if it's simply drizzled over at room temp as suggested. Just use no-cal cooking spray for heating applications.

Wow, thats good to know. Here i am cooking away the benefits!! In meal 2, should i drop the banana and just do the oats? I am eating minimal to no fruit at all. Also thinking of dropping the Maltodextrin PWO, but im not sure b/c ive only been on it for 2 wks so i havent seen a benfit just yet. Anything i should be looking for? Weight is about 178-76 everymorning and about a lb or 2 less after work. Still waiting to get a BF% test. Thanks again.
