Fruit and Diet

[ASU]

My current diet looks very similar to the "Crum's diet"
Lots protein, fats and fibers and carbs only post weight training and non on cardio days.

They suggest Orange Juice for post workout carbs, but there are no malt or dex in the orange juice

Im sticking to the 1/2 cup oats post workout for now, till I get convinced that simple carbs (malt/dex) more beneficial post workout and not make your stomach flabby

No one thing is going to make your stomach flabby unless you're incredibly lean and preparing for a comp, when everything you put into your mouth matters. There are several components that add up to "flabbiness" - like Shadow was trying to say - watch the rest of your carbs and you'll be fine.

Personally, I have a hard time mentally with including sugar post workout. My body has never responded negatively to it, but I prefer fruit because my mind can handle it a little better Very silly, I know...

ashley. Thanks now it makes sense to me as long as I keep my carbs low and have sugar post workout I would be fine

How many grams of carbs (sweet tarts or other sugar would I need post workout)
If this is my only carb meal and the rest of my meals comes from fiber veggies

I eat tuna

You don't have to have "breakfast food" like eggs for breakfast..... have chicken/rice/veggies or leftovers, etc..... Or find some new ways to make the eggs....

Check out the sticky above "Recipe Thread!" or Obiwan's "Yummy" Thread in the Muscle Food board -- some good ideas abound....
