Cutting Help

like i said, knowing exactly how many grams of carbs one should consume is a bit complicated.

for bulking, try two to two and a half grams of carbs per pound of bodyweight. for leaning up while maintaining or slowly gaining muscle mass, start with one to one and a half grams per pound of bodyweight and see what happen. it's that too much, lower it. if you find you're losing to much muscle, add more carbs.

you need to time your carb intake properly as well. most people tend to include 1 cup (dry) oats with their first meal and include some dextrose (sugar) during and after training, but the bulk of your carbs should be eating post workout tapered off later in the day. make sense?

So basically have a good amount of carbs when you first wake up and then keep it moderate to low over the course of the day and then have the remaining amount of carbs after your workout. What do you recommend prior to your workout. I was thinking of just having a can of tuna and a cup of oatmeal now. I might drop the yogurt and fruit...or do you think its not smart to drop the yogurt or apple out and have it someother time in the day.
