The sample diet... Is that based on the 6' 220lb person and if not how did you base that?

Definitely a good read but I'm a bit confused with this part:

I thought before a workout you wanted a meal consisting of mainly carbs with some protein and a minimum amount of fats

[Blown_SC]

It's an individual thing, do what works best for you...

Oh I see....

I know the "whatever works for you" concept is applied for things like workout techniques, routines, etc. but I didn't know it was like that for pre-WO meals?

Correct if I'm wrong, but I'm just trying to put the reasoning to this. I thought too much protein pre-WO leave you feeling sluggish during your workout and carbs would be what you would need to have the energy to apply the intensity to your workouts? What do fats do for you pre-WO?

I've heard of having some whey + milk for the amino acid availability and even BCAAs but never a protein-fat based meal.

I know I know:aafusion-

lol I apologize. I just want to know if there's something to it other than "Whatever works for you" :haha:

Thanks in advance :awesomewo

Theres nothing wrong with your comment. Im 33 years old have been working out for a good amount of time in my life am 5'8 and 265lbs AND STILL ask more questions then you can imagine. Knowledge is power baby!

I drink a PWO shake that has 8oz water/4oz 1% milk with 1.5 cups of oatmeal and 3 scoops whey (60g protein). I try to drink it one hour before my workout so the sluggishness isnt too bad. On back days or shoulder day it can be a bitch, but most other days I get by just fine. Try something similar to this and if you feel like ass in the gym then cut down until you find something that suits YOUR needs.

Of course I could be wrong HA!

this is one mans post. it reflects his opinion on how to best set up a base diet.

if your not comfortable taking the advice, then dont take it.

you can go either way. do a 30 g whey/ 50 gram carbs combo if its suits you best.

all your tring to do with this meal is fuel your work out. it doesnt matter how... albeit im sure you prefer not to workout bloated. hence- do what works for you.

try thinking out side the box alittle.

Definetly. When I get all set for my next cycle I am using a diet far from this. The Anabolic Diet. I am sold on it in theory. Pro/fat 5 days a week and pro/fat/carbs on Sat and Sun.

i like to do rotations also. my carbs will flux from 200- 600 through out the week.

different from what your doing, but far away from your basic cookie-cutter routine.
