72g of carbs. And maybe a shake. Would that been a good pre workout ?
Obviously a chicken breast, and brown rice would be better micronutrient wise but that is not what I'm asking.

If that is what you desire then by all means do it if it fits your macros.Originally Posted by michaelsp9
Is it optimal? Not really. are there better alternatives? Yes.Contrary to popular belief, I dont actually bench 900lbs, as stated in my username.

-Orange Triad
-CreaCore
-MusclePharm Fish Oil
-Caffeine Tablets
Nutritional ketosis requires explicit reduction of CHO intake to generally lower than 50 g/d and, for some, <30 g/d. Protein must also be restricted, often to <1.8 g/d per kg body mass and sometimes to < 1.2 g/d per kg, with remaining calories composed from fat.

01-09-2014, 01:17 PM #8The answer to this, to me, is blatantly obvious. Pop tarts are FULL of sugar, therefor OP is looking for pre workout alternatives that have are full of sugar. Oats depends on the brand, apple is low in sugar, and rice ... doesn't have sugar I believe.Originally Posted by thebencher900lb

I used to eat poptarts all the time while cutting i have no idea why though lol.
IMO, you can fit other things into your macros besides poptarts that taste sooooo much better than them too
but to answer your question, IIFYMBench: 245
Squat: 395
Deadlift: 405

That would be a good post workout for the insulin spike. Preworkout: a shake or even chicken and rice.
