Use the full fat mayo, as w/your breakdowns you are fine doing that.

what kind of ratios (protien/carb/fat) and about how many calories are you pulling in that diet..?

[MMC78]

Not enough carbs, I'd personally burn out on that diet.

[Vice]

So what are you suggesting?
Cut the fat and replace it with a carb source such as oats first thing in the morning, and rotate my meals from fat/pro then pro/carb?

If you could elaborate that would be great, thanks.

hi there,

I would also probably suggest to have carbs in the morning. I think the 3 best times to focus carb intake is breakfast, PWO and PPWO. You have the latter two sorted out, and I think perhaps an egg white omellete with a bowl of oats in the morning would be better (and healthier!) than 5 whole eggs. At the end of the day though it depends on how many carbs you want to limit yourself to in total for the day

I would definately put some carbs in preworkout on your non-cardio days. Something low GI like whole weat bread with fat free cheese or fruit.

lol whole wheat breat of fruit before a workout? lol.......

[usualsuspect]

apple...yeah, bread...no!

[SwoleCat]

Bread?

[MMC78]

GI of brown rice: 79
GI of whole wheat bread: 87

I fail to see what's wrong with eating some fast digesting carbs immediately before workout to keep your energy levels up.

[SwoleCat]

Brown rice = unprocessed carb, no gluten, no bloating, no hydrogenated oils.

Wheat bread = processed carb, gluten, tends to bloat SOME people (same w/pasta), and many have hydro oils.

GI factor has nothing to do with why I threw a logo in the above post.
