Eesh. Ok, I think you have a good attitude and a little “fuck it, I wanna do it” so here’s some rules to try to follow.

1.) Every meal needs animal protein.
2.) Every meal needs veggies.
3.) Every meal needs a complex carb source.
4.) Every meal needs a healthy fat.
5.) Every meal needs more than 500 calories.

For example, a McDonald’s cheeseburger fulfills all these requirements.

Ok, once those are straight we’re ready to take on PWO and PPWO.

PWO.) Simple carb and simple protein.
PPW.) Meal with a simple whole carb and a lean, fat-free, animal protein source.
PPPWO.) Animal protein, complex carb, good fat, fibrous veg. Aka, normal meal.

So, PWO, simple sugar like dextrose, maltose, d-glucose (redundant) and a quick protein like whey. Surge is good, or skim milk if you’re cheap. Fructose (fruit), honey, or oats suck PWO. Don’t even try.

PPwo should be lean protein and simple whole carb. Say, chicken breast and white rice. Next meal is a regular meal, steak, spinach, brown rice, and EVOO. Capeish?

So you go from high carb to med carb to low carb fairly quickly.

Random notes;

Egg whites are gay (Unless you are a professional.)
Meat is the basis of every meal, regardless of goals.
Don’t be a bitch, eat like a man.

good stuff, im keeping the egg whites tho. Im a broke college student and that shit is cheap

Now when should i majorly slow down my carbs for the day, after 6 or 7ish?

My dinner is around 430-500 and thats the last meal i eat any bigger amount of carbs. Usually anywhere from 50-90g carbs. Its usually around 7-800 cals also.

I go with protein/fats and no/low carbs at 800 and 11 then its bed time. Both of these are snacks around 250-350 cals,so an example would be 25-30 whole plain almonds with a light string cheese.

i get up at 4:30 and go to bed around 9 or 10 so i should stop eatin carbs about 7 u think? and they should come from veggies if anything right?

how the hell does a McD’s cheeseburger contain healthy fat?

let’s see, processed bun (great for fat storage), shit quality meat, meaning poor protein source, and and it’s grain fed cattle (hopefully, lol) so the fatty acid profile is horrible.

not too mention, the quality of veggies at McD’s is probably poor as well

Yeah I was wondering the same thing…

-the bun of a McD’s cheeseburger is not a complex carb.
-the fat is not healthy fat, its a McD’s cheeseburger for gods sake, its complete shit
-are you actually saying that that little slice of tomato, a couple onion slices and a pickle count as a serving of vegetables? uh…no

A McD’s cheeseburger is not an example of clean healthy food you should be eating, obviously.

yea im no eatin that shit anyway, i go clean

i’v been following most of the advice you’ve all been giving me and im likin it these past two days. today went real well, feel free to give me any advice il listen

thanks again

I just limit the carbs like i do as my day winds down so that im not full when i get to bed. I dont like that feeling so its just a personal pref i guess. Im sure its not a bad thing either, just more a habit than anything for me

yea iv been doin that too, i hate feelin full tryin to go to bed

does anyone know if honey is an effective preworkout foood??

I would go with some better carbs than honey, maybe use it post workout but im not sure about before. I suppose you could try it and find out though, doesnt hurt to try new things.

yea il keep tryin it

Big question…is there really THAT much of a difference between whey concentrate and isolate??

I dont think that the differance between them is that much. I think for the average, healthy person either would work just fine. I wouldnt worry about it that much, a good workout and overall healthy daily diet is more important than the dif between isolate/concentrate. They both whey protein at the end of the day anyway.

sweet deal, i just bough some protein off nutrabio.com and its cinnamin bun flavored and its an isolate so i figuredid ask, it was pretty much the same price so itsnot a big deal.
