Depends on how big you are, how hard you workout, how fast your metabolism is, how your body reacts to carbs, and probably a thousand other factors that I dont even know about. The only thing you can do is try it for a few weeks and see what happens, then make adjustments.

so i wont put on fat just from this one time?

anyway.. i lift in the morning then do 2 hours boxing training at night so i guess my metabolism is pretty fast. still trying to lose some bodyfat though.. i'm at about 11% now.. trying to get to 7-8%

2 cups cooked? Not a big deal.

2 cups dry is insane.

i'm talkin about cooked spiral pasta

Seems fine, I usually have 2 servings of whole wheat blend pasta by ronzini, 1 serving of that is 3/4 cup uncooked. So I get 360 cals, 14 grams protein, 4 grams fat, 12 grams of fiber, 82 carbs, 0 sugar and that's just from the pasta, I also have either a skinless boneless grilled white chicken breast, or a gortons grilled classic wild salmon fillet or a can of tuna with it and that is 2 hours AFTER my PWO Shake. Trust me your fine.

read the back of the bag and see what the nutrional label yields.. is it for dry/cooked?

bottom line are u getting in the amnt of carbs u need PWO? thats the serious question.. 2 cups cooked is prob going to give u plenty prob around 80+ or so ..

so i think ur perfectly fine if not ur getting too many but you can also manage this through the rest of ur macros for the rest of ur day

never a bad idea to carb up big after a workout
