Have you tried carb timing? Eat some lean beef in your last meal. Beef has an amazing zinc profile compared to chicken. Try taking in your carbs in meal 1(morning) the the other 80% before, during and after training. Don't count the carbs from veggies, your other meals are protein and green veggies.

hrmm...interesting. i like to keep a good amount of natty pb and flax oil in there.
i'm dropping my carbs bigtime now....i seem to do alot better on keto diets w/ a refeed but tried just dropping my overall caloric intake this time around w/ a 40/30/30 ratio. not very successful thus far, even with AM cardio.

on off days you suggest hardly any carbs?

i'm assuming by 80% you mean take carbs pre work out, dextrose in my P/WO shake and then some carbs in my post work out meal?

i may just go back on a CKD. always did the trick in the past

I highly recommend taking in a workout drink....2:1 ratio carbs to protein, sip on it during the workout. I think Epa/Dha(fish oil) is a better fat supplement. As long as you consume them around your workout you'll be fine. I workout 5-6 days a week and low/no carbs on off days is a good idea if you respond well to keto diets( I don't). Keep the carb quality high, breakfast should be something like oatbran hot cereal and blueberries with a whole protein source or milk isolate. IMO, whey is HIGHLY over rated outside of your workouts.

...gonna try that tonight.
getting sick of eating beef all the time, fuggin boring after a while

Ground turkey is great! We eat it all the time. Get the stuff that has like 85 percent fat free instead of 99% fat free or it will be too dry. Try mixing a whole (peeled avocado with a can of drained Rotel which is canned tomatoes w/mixed chilies) put on taco,Good eating.


Also great to make meatloaf with using the lipton onion soup mix recipe on the side of the box and substituting turkey as mentioned above for the beef, awesome, you'll like it a lot.

Then why not go with something like ground sirloin which has better nutritional value? Purchase ground round if you want something fattier, it's still better nutritionally than turkey.
