Just a few more cutting questions.

[deathdroprob]

1) Milk at all? Im talking the Lite stuff. I looked at the carbs it says 12.3 gs of sugar per 250mL. Im guessing no...

2) What good cerial is ok for Breakfast? Should I just stick with Oats? do I just eat it wwith water?

3)Should I ahve no carbs in the Pm except ofr PWO Meal?

4) I make Kangaroo mince rissols as staple of my Protein Diet. Am I allowed to put a packet of Taco seasoning in there for the good taste, I make 1 kg of it at a time?

5) Is tomato and BBQ suace allowed?

6) Are Plain Potatos allowed? And are they ok in AM and PM?

7) Cardio. Ive been told 4-6 times a week. Should I be doing it in the morning on an Empty stomach? or later on in the day? Still on empty stomach? Ill only being doin the Morning thing 1-2 a week

thanks for reading guys

1) Milk isn't great when your trying to cut, but a little (1c./day) won't hinder you all that much. You could have it in your PWO nutrition.

2) Very, very few cereals I have found. Just stick with oats and water. Throw in some cinnamon, a few walnuts, a little organic applesauce. Tasty!

3) It really depends on what time of day you work out. If you work out in the PM it's fine to have some carbs, just choose more low-mid glycemic (a sweet potato rather than pasta/white potato). You need the energy for the gym.

4) I don't have a clue what that is, but adding the taco seasoning is probably OK if it will make you stick to the diet. Just check how much sodium is in it, and assuming there is no sugar.

5) Tomato and BBQ sauces are typically very high in sugar. They don't belong in a cutting diet (or any diet really). If your making your own sauces then there could be some options there.

6) White potatoes are OK, red potatoes are a better choice. Try to have them the first half of the day (also see #3 above). Keep your total calories and macro breakdown in mind. It doesn't take a lot of potatoes to hit your daily limit of carbs.

7) Mix up your cardio. Do medium intensity steady cardio (maybe 65% of your max HR) on your two morning workouts. If you feel OK doing it on an empty stomach go for it. If not, have a protein shake beforehand. For your other cardio later in the day, alternate steady state with HIIT. On the days you do HIIT, make sure you have some carbs/protein 1-1.5 hours prior.

1) Milk at all? Im talking the Lite stuff. I looked at the carbs it says 12.3 gs of sugar per 250mL. Im guessing no... No. Carbs add up quick. Technically milk is a sugar not a protein, hence the lactose.

2) What good cerial is ok for Breakfast? Should I just stick with Oats? do I just eat it wwith water? Rolled or steel cut oats with protein powder or eggs/whites on the side.

3)Should I ahve no carbs in the Pm except ofr PWO Meal? Depends on when u usually lift. Generally I limit carbs after my second meal after working out which is bout 3:30pm then I am pretty much carb free.

4) I make Kangaroo mince rissols as staple of my Protein Diet. Am I allowed to put a packet of Taco seasoning in there for the good taste, I make 1 kg of it at a time? Usually they are high in sodium. I limit my sodium intake during cutting. I would make my own recipe for taco seasoning so you can control the sodium.

5) Is tomato and BBQ suace allowed? Be careful with serving sizes. Also BBQ sauce can be loaded with sugars. Again these carbs will slowly creep up.

6) Are Plain Potatos allowed? And are they ok in AM and PM? Too high of a glycemic carb if you ask me. I say no period. Stick with your 100% whole wheat foods and veggies.

7) Cardio. Ive been told 4-6 times a week. Should I be doing it in the morning on an Empty stomach? or later on in the day? Still on empty stomach? Ill only being doin the Morning thing 1-2 a week When I had time I did it in the am on an empty stomach. Usually only ended up being on weekends. The other time I found works well (mostly for my schedule) would be early evening, Which is about 6 hours since I lifted weights.

If you have a fiberous green veggie and a lean protein, white potatos are no where near as bad as most people think. Sweet potatos are obviously a better chouce, but I have never once had a problem with white potatos and im highly carb sensitive. Tom Venuto seems to eat them all the way up through competition time also. Keep in mind the rest of your meal balances out the GI value of the entire meal.

To each his own, the rest of the advice is spot on!

Good Luck

I ahve no probs having water with Shakes, they go down quiker but I wouldnt mind having milk with my shake immedtailty before bed, for the longer lasting asorbtion. But milk has to muc carbs, so anyone got any other suggestions? Ill prob have a table spoon on ANPB with it too.

Casein shake, or cottage cheese pre-bed, with (optional) good fat to slow digestion. Flaxseed meal may be best (good fat + fibre) but most use PB (taste)

EDIT:

Actually, a nice tasting pre-bed drink is Ascend Miscellar Casein, not too expensive if u buy the 3kilo containers.

I have it in hot water with cinnanom, and a dash of milk. Tastes really good

The cheese options in AUS are not great - Bega Super Lite and Kraft Non-fat cheese singles are the best options, but per 2.5 grams of P, they have about 1 gram of C (Bega is slightly better but tastes worse), so u'd still get at least 10 grams of sugar pre-bed then.
