Again PWO meal is the only time to really get away with this. I believe in getting faster absorption through simple carbs for PWO meal.
Bingo. "Get away with" being the operative term here. As for faster absorption - well, no doubt simple carbs will facilitate this. We can argue all day on the necessity (or lack thereof IMO) of this, but I digress. Different debate for a different thread.
Yep - no argument against the nutritional value of fruit. I was only questioning the graham crackers. Agreed on your feelings of fruit consumption while cutting.

Today i started having a serving of fat free cottage cheese on some Special K multigrain crackers and it tasted really good plus adding another 20 g of protein to my pre-workout meal, would that be a good addition ?
Yeah man to be honest i now really realize that i shouldn't have started yet, i should have gave it a couple of years of natural growth. I started having really good gains when i actually started a eating regiment and worked out with a set program. Oh well looks like i am already committed. 400 mg /week is the lower doses that i read people usually take, i wanted a low dose to start.
Thanks man ,I've been trying to do a lot of research and learning a lot!
Looks like i have been selling myself short by not taking carbs right after my workout! I have a coffee grinder and will grind oats and mix them with my PWO shake. I will probably also take some oats with my pre-workout yogurt instead of the Kashi cereals, or mix both of them?
I pinned for the 1st time exactly 2 weeks ago, so tonight was the 5th time of ~200 mg. I have been feeling a little more jumpy lately , it has definitely increased my sexual appetite! I feel like i need to go spread my seed lol.
After this 12 week cycle, how long should i go before i can try out the carb cycling? I know the most important thing after getting off the gear is to try and bust your ass to try and keep the most % of the gains, so you probably still have to eat a lot of carbs right?
Thanks for all the valuable help everyone!!

LMAO! Be careful that seed can grow into a little person. haha

Absolutely you were selling yourself short!! Most important meal you ever consume is PWO. Personally I would invest in a blender. That is a bodybuilder's favorite tool! 3/4 - 1 cup of oats and some lean protein(or shake) at least 1 hour before a w/o your good to go. Use that coffee grinder for some coffee pre-workout too!
It's a start. I'd rather see oats or something natural vs. special K crackers. Also, don't be afraid to use low-fat cottage cheese. A bit of fat is good for you (and vital!).
It is what it is. Just because you've started doesn't mean you can't stop now. But again, it sounds like you want to see it through to the end so this is the last i'll mention of it.
PWO is an ideal time for carbs, so yea... I'd say you've been selling yourself short.
Which Kashi cereal are you using? I've only seen one that is decent for what we're trying to accomplish... and note I said "decent"; not ideal.
Although carbs are protein/muscle sparing, it's not just about carbs. It's about total calories, and protein intake as well. First - what is your PCT protocol?
