not really. in fact, i get most of my calories from carbohydrates.

 

the thing about carbohydrates is that certain types are best eaten at certain times of the day (depending on the composition).

 

> fruits like apples and oranges, all kinds of vegetables, legumes, sweet potatoes, and oats are best eaten as breakfast, pre-workout, as they supply you with slow-digesting sugars to provide energy throughout the day. they also don't cause insulin spikes.

 

> starchy carbohydrates like pasta, bread, rice, grains, potatoes, bananas are best eaten a few hours (at most) after a workout, as to take advantage of the increased insulin tolerance caused by physical activity.

 

> sweets are best tolerated by the body during or immediately after a workout, when blood sugar levels are low. that explains why people drink sports drinks, and why most runners have an occasional sweet tooth.

 

Depends on the fruit. Some fruits spike up insulin level too. IIRC, watermelon does.

Mornings I have like 4 eggs.

Then I have a rice meal for lunch

Then I workout

Then I have some tuna or chicken

Then I have some veggies

and some fruits

 

Nonworkout days, the rice meal that I'll have for lunch..I'll put what I'm going to eat on my plate, then I cut it all in half. I leave the other half in the ref, and eat the half that's left on my plate. About 3hours later I finish the other half.

Another meal I"ll have Eggs.

Then Tuna/chicken

Veggies

Fruits

 

I'm trying to eat JUST the carbs that I need, nothing more nothing less.
