Every meal is important!!

I prefer higher carb meals pre and post workout

I’d say it’s probably better to eat your meals than have them liquid but a shake and carbs is okay I guess if you’re in off season and struggling to get food in

Thanks so much

Nicolas did you read one log? Or did you read the last 5 years of logs ? , check which one I have used more over the years ?

Excuses.

[Nicolas Cantemir]

For people I prep I favour high carb , for me personally my digestion does better on lower volume food occupying less space in my stomach , so I like high fat . In terms of energy and performance I notice zero diff between using carbs or fats as fuel

So Jordan in your personally case now you don’t eat meals with carbs and only meals prot + fat. ? Because when you competed you eat tons of carbs. I saw on your logs.

[Nicolas Cantemir]

When I have done this I have always gone post workout

To enhance recovery as best as possible n replenish glycogen

Thanks. But before train without carbs I don’t have energy and if I don’t eat carbs after ( only prot plus good fats ) I feel fine. This is bad ?

[Nicolas Cantemir]

Same with hilly , post is always very easy to digest as body just laps it up

But if I train without carbs I feel bad, no energy. And after if I take iso and then protein meal with veggies I don’t feel tired. Is possible change before yes and after prot plus veggies?

[Nicolas Cantemir]

I agree with the guys above it’ll be the source causing the issue rather than all carbs being an issue. Each person is different and some people do have to push harder but honestly with the reaction your getting sounds like it’s something not quite agreeing with you. Have you also looked into any sweetners or diet additions your having that could be causing this also

Potatoes, rice not feel good. Oatmeal at breakfast before train feels great. But something make me feel terrible is iso plus peanut butter. Super bloated. Could be possible?

[Nicolas Cantemir]

Like Ryan says it could simply be the carb sources you’re using or another macro source for that matter if you’re experiencing bloating after eating.

If it’s something that you think is always there, it could be caused by something else.

If it’s food related you will need to eliminate things one at a time to find the culprit.

Perhaps could be the potatoes, or the rice, because oatmeal before train makes me feel good.
But another think makes me feel terrible is the iso protein and the peanut butter. Could be possible???

[Nicolas Cantemir]

Hey,

It could be the carb source causing the bloat, can you post your diet up and recent pics. Carb cycling is an effective diet strategy but every one is different and there are many ways to get lean.

The only carbs I eat are oatmeal, brown rice or potatoes. If I eat oatmeal before train( breakfast) I feel fine. But after train rice or potatoes makes me feel bloated.
And something makes me too much bloated are iso protein.

Hi mister, I come from Spain and sometimes it’s difficult to me understand the text. Now you eliminate the carbs for the last meal, why?, because you begin the preparation for competition. Thanks so much.
