Carbs and Cutting 101?
OK, I've read up and **researched** tons of threads and articles on nutrition....and u must agree, there are many conflicting opinions when it come to carbs and dieting. However, I was able to "distill" , what i like to call, "basic rules for cutting"...Please correct me if there is any factual arror
1. After AM Cardio on an empty stomach, consume brekfast with hi protein, hi fat and moderate to low carbs using slow releasing carbs like oats.
2. Very low carbs (in the form ov greens/veggies) for the remainder meals except pre workout post workout
3. Consume quick acting carbs in preworkout meal for energy during training.
4. Consume quick acting carbs in postworkout meal for replenishment
5. Carb intake, depending on size and metabolism, should roughly be between 50-150 grams (approx 0.5g per lb) and the breakfast, pre and postworkout meals should comprise 75 - 80% of total carb intake.
OK, am i off base with these general rules? I welcome all criticisms and affirmations.
cheers

I follow the same thing Bigsd does...Protein and fat pre-workout, .8 carbs for PWO shake and .4 carbs for PPWO meal, for me thats roughly like 58 and like 29 carbs respectively. No carbs in the morning if I'm doing cardio in the morning...
No problem with energy...Pop a bronkaid(ephedrine) 20-30 minutes before workouts and Im pumped. Cardio in itself pumps me up, energizes me when Im done, but with the bronkaid the effect is magnified...Im still sweating like an hour later while sitting in class....HAAH This is despite drinking like 2-3 pints of water after the cardio...

The difference between good success and great success in you workouts in pre-workout carbs.

The cardinal rule of cutting is to never mix fat and carbs, so I would disagree with your #1 there.
I eat protein/fat meals after am cardio while cutting, and only eat carbs postworkout.
Eating a high fat/high protein meal with oatmeal will cause all the fat to be stored.

One small protein/carb meal before a workout is not going to give you any more of a boost than a fat/protein meal. The nutrients simply don't have enough time to be stored and utilized for any type of fuel for that workout.

Hey bros,
thanx for the heads up. I think i get it now...esp with the pre-workout meals not necessarily having to be carb based as it has minimum effect on training.
