Low carbs and basketball....newb mistake... or just plain dumb?

Yeah you CAN wait an extra week for your first carb up. Some people do, some dont, just monitor your energy levels and if you start feeling bad add A FEW carbs a couple days.

Cashews are alright also, as always just keep you CAL count in check.

On carb up days I think its like 300-400g of carbs...8 will give you an exact total if Im off

300-400 is a good number to shoot for

Okay.... heres another question..... On my carb up days....is this in addition to my current diet/cal count? So would I go from say a 2100 cal diet to a 2400cal (or whatever the math comes out to)? Or should I be lowering fats/proteins on these days and uping the carbs?

Thanks for the help I apperciate it... Sorry about all the beginner/newb questions.

in addition to current diet and no do not cut anything else.

 

[DJLegacy2k1]

And if you WERE to cut anything back on carb up days, you should lower FAT slightly, ALWAYS KEEP THE PROTEIN UP!

But try to keep totals as close as possible :-D

I would only add make sure the carbs you are getting are good carbs like fiber and not slammin a WM shake PWO and a cupcake at night before bed for your last dose of 30 carbs lol

I've been dieting and working out so long I forgot when it is to enjoy a cupcake or two, sometimes I try to tell my self I've over doing it and endulge but it just dosnt appeal to me any longer.

How about cashews? I have had my ANPB by itself on occasion... man is that stuff sticky..lol. Thanks for the advice. I have been doing my best to track all my food intake. So hopefully I will be able to keep my cals in check.

When I carb up how many carbs should I be getting on that day? and I should wait about 2 weeks(since I'm just starting) before I take a carb up day correct?

Cashews actually have 30 grams of net carbs per 100, so it's a bit (see http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c20nv.html). Most other nuts are far lower

They kill PB for taste though, and they have been killing me lately, as I've realised how good they taste with melted cheese on top

Cashews have more carbs than protein in them.
