I've got my first carb-up before my Physical Fitness Test on Wednesday. Here's what my meals are going to look like, any input or help is welcome.
Breakfast
Bowl of oatmeal with raisins
Cinnamon bagel
Glass of milk
Lunch
Sweet potato w/honey
Glass of milk
4oz tilapia
Snack
Box of peanut butter girl scout cookies
Glass of milk
Dinner
Pizza
Pint of ice cream
Snack
Banana
Protein shake
I know, I know, some dirty foods, but I haven't had anything "dirty" since Thanksgiving really, I need to reward/indulge myself.

Don't forget the basics..
where are your fats!!!!?The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

Another question,
I ate low carb (not quite in ketosis) for 2 weeks then did a clean carb-load, since then in the last 1.5 weeks I've been drifting in and out of ketosis, never showing greater than trace on the sticks. Should I wait longer to carb up again? Or can I go ahead and do it. My carbs for the last 1.5 weeks haven't gone above 50g/day before taking out fiber. I eat a LOT of cruciferous veggies.

I think carb loads should be lowfat. That's just what I've been told... maybe I've heard wrong. ???

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Matthew 22:36-40

I never thought I was lactose intolerant, but most of use are in varying degrees. After I had eliminated milk from my diet for some time, when I had a large bowl of cereal or pounded a glass of milk I noticed lactose intolerant-like symptoms (runny stool, bloated, etc). If you've had problems with lactose previosly, you might consider an off brand lactase enzyme supplement to use during re-feeds.

ONE cheat meal instead of carb-up
not to hijack a thread but what do you guys think of having a cheat meal every 1 or 2 weeks?like instead of carbing-up lets say every sunday night the LAST meal would be a cheat meal.only the last meal to avoid you from cheating the rest of the day.eat all you can of WHATEVER until you are satisfied.is this okay?got this from The Dave Palumbo Diet.

Depends on how you want to work it, same difference basically. I would prefer to consume the carbs over a longer time period to avoid feeling like a blimp, but if you want 1 meal as opposed to a day, that's fine. I guess it depends on how many carbs you plan on eating. Also, you don't have to carb up. You can eat low carb by default and just take a 'cheat' whenever you need to, like a party or if you go out for dinner and decide you want pasta or something.
