When counting carbs.....

[pintoca]

I count everything, I foresee a lot of chicken breast with no side dish on your road...

Don't count fiber

Interesting because I've been experimenting lately with reducing the fructose in my diet - based on the premise that it's preferentially stored and utilized by the liver (as opposed to muscle tissue) and easily converted to fat......and the jury is still out. Not sure if the trade off (losing out on the fibre, vitamins, taste, etc.,) will be worth it.

In any case, the tuna/apple combo is no post-workout meal to sneeze at. See how it goes and my only advice would be: if you feel tired during your workout, switch to a carb source more conducive to the production of muscle glycogen (e.g., oats, yams, etc.,).

so far its interesting to note that when i consume the tuna (around 430pm) and then the apple...man the apple right after consuming it..makes me extremely hungry!!! i mean like i havent eaten all day!! why is that??? so i drink water to quench it (little help, but not really)..suprisingly enough..when i get to the gym 630...im not hungry? i mean my workouts go really really well...when im thinking that they are not going to be since all i had was tuna/apple pre-workout...
