Being that I'm cutting and workout in the evening, I do not eat carbs PWO or PPWO. I have begun subscribing to the theory that it's not necessary to ingest carbs PWO/PPWO if the workout is after 6pm. If I workout before 3pm I will ingest 50g Karbolyn with my PWO whey shake.

Curious to hear your thoughts...

UNless you're taking insulin i don't see the need for wasting your money on karbolyn

In summery:

350 grams pro
230 carbs (not including veggies)
45 grams of fat

That looks good to me. What are you using to sauté your veggies?

[Back In Black]

I'd up your fats to 60g and lose those cals from the protein.

Don't subscribe to any theory that carbs at night time are bad for you. I train in the morning and, when cutting, consume a big % of my carbs in my last meal of the day so I'm not training on 'empty' the following morning.

No carbs in my last 2-3 meals seems to work really well with me when it comes to cutting. Since I'm cutting and hitting my macros earlier in the day there's no reason to have carbs in the mid-late PM anyhow.

I cook with no-fat coconut oil spray

Why is that your stance on Karboyn? Are you saying this is Karbolyn specific or that carbs in general PWO aren't necessary?

[bloodchoke]

the only way any oil is non-fat is by reducing the the serving size to something nearly impossible. I think for a spray, they say the serving size is 1/3 second burst. Just keep that in mind if you're spraying for a solid 3-4 seconds. But like BIB said, you could probably use more fat anyway. At least 50g ed.

Karbolyn specific..What is the point unless you need to shuttle in carbohydrates and grams of sugar in quickly? In any case there is gatorade..I've never understood those products..because they contain riboflavin? idk
