    My pre-workout is complex carbs. What am I missing here? Are you talking about the 12g of carbs coming from the yogurt and the 4g coming from the protein?

    basaeline, that would put my protein at 267g and calories at 3,275. Given that I am bulking now and don't mind any minimal fat (and keeping in mind I have a hard time putting weight on), would you still recommend me getting rid of this meal?

    And you mentioned adding extra carbs throughout the day...would you be kind enough to tell me where you would add it, and what you recommend to add?

    I wouldn't consider your whole grain cereal a complex carb. If that is it's classification, there are better choices. Sweet potatoes and oats for example. If it works well for you, and you have good energy for your workout then by all means disregard. Just throwing it out there for you.
