For all you low carb dieters...check these Tortilla's out

relax kid.......they have 11g of which 8g is fiber, i know.....but, they are a whole wheat product...you have 2-3? carbs mmmmm....so, you think I can still have my yam or rice and toss in a few wraps will no ill effects except additional calories?

 

[JG1]

kid....lol


Yes, you can still have your yams/rice. 3g of carbs is NOTHING...believe me. It's more of a protein source then a carb source.

Ok, here's a better question...if I DID substitute for my lunch carbs, would I still benefit from the energy that rice/pot./yams give me to fuel my afternoon training??? If maybe I added a little more fat? Such as:

2 wraps <----replacing 6oz yam/sweet potatoe
6oz steak, chx
salad
steamed veggies, beans, etc.


I had 1/2 cups of steel cut at 7am and a myoplex about 930.....so, I'm about 55carbs right now.....yam usually puts me over the century mark, but I'm wondering if that is what makes me tired when I get back into the office.......then I have my 1/2cup oats around 2:30 and train at 4pm.....suggestion?

Bro, do not replace you carb meals with these tortilla's....I keep trying to tell you that but it dsoesn't sink in. 2 tortilla's has 6g carbs, 6oz yam has 48g carbs.....see where I'm gettin at here?

If you want to lower carbs drop the yam, add the torilla's and perhaps a fat source like some EFA's.

 

[JKurz1]

think I'll be less lethargic and have more energy?

 

[JG1]

Yeah, possibly. I know I feel better on fat then I do carbs.

 

[JKurz1]

But then I can have the oats at 230, correct? with a scoop of protein....not mixing carbs and fat is all.......what do you think this will do as far as weight wise? Leaner with less carbs?

 

[JKurz1]

Back from lunch.......

2 tortill - w/ 3oz of buffalo in one and 3oz of chx breast in other...lettuce, ff cheese, chopped onions.....nuke in oven at 450 deg for 10 minutes....top with hot mustard and a TB of flax.......

green beans, large salad, broc, cali, .......readdddyyyy to rock!


Nah, actually they were pretty good......see how I feel.....

I'd switch to CKD if I could have my skim milk and myoplex mid-am meal and lb of peanuts late night....oh well.......
