[hq1]

Wat meal/s of the day do u tend to include ur fats in?

Also before bed what do u prefer? fats/protein, carbs/protein or just protein...etc

[pinoy]

i usually have my fats with protein for my pre workout meal which is around 1 hour before...i usually have 2 whole eggs and 1 tbsp flax which comes out to like 24g fat. for bedtime take protein/fats

why would u put fats into your post workout shake? all it does is slow down the digestion of the whey and the whole purpose of post workout shakes is to shuttle protein and carbs into the muscle

agreed, no fats in your pw shake! just simple carbs and whey protein.
i'd have your fats before bed, breakfast, and if you have any meal composed of just protein add some fats to it

at night (bout 1- 1 1/2 hours before bed)lately i have a number of egg whites, and one full egg, mixed with low fat cottage cheese... this any good?

would u add any fat to this?
Or remove the full egg from it?

that looks fine, although I would personally take out the whole egg and add flax.

Why shouldn't you eat carbs and fat together at a meal?

I believe Str8flexed (and probably others) has explained this before as follows:

Carbohydrate intake causes the body to produce insulin. Insulin is a storage hormone. In the presence of insulin, the body cannot adequately perform lipolysis (the breakdown of fat for energy). Therefore any fat consumed with a high carb meal will be immediately stored rather than burned for energy. That is why theoretically you should not overconsume these two macronutrients in the same meal.

Keep in mind though that at the end of the day, it is the caloric deficit which determines fat loss. In other words, if you eat a meal high in fat and carbs, your body will store the fat initially. But if you are in a caloric deficit during the remainder of the day (when insulin levels are not elevated of course), you will mobilize and burn stored bodyfat.

i take in about 65 grams of fat a day 20 percent of total cals, i usually only take in one or two actual fat servings a day, usually a tbsp of peanut butter in the morning w/ my oatmeal and whey or on a pb and bannana sandwich which ends up with about 20grms fat. Then by the time i finish my other 5 meals i dont have room to add another real serving of a fat like oils, flax etc.

would u suggest keeping this fat until before bed with my cottage cheese?

[pinoy]

pb and banana sandwich = bad!

[persevere]

why man? cause of 'carbs and fat combined'?
you get a good source carbs and fat, add in a can of tuna or a protein shake on the side and your set.
