Yeah I like some carbs the night before. I can tell a difference in my workouts if I have carbs or no carbs the night before. I have always eaten a lot of big meat meals even before I worked out. Now it's just minus a lot of breads, carbs, and sweat tea with it. Question for you, with that work schedule can you only lift on days off or do you still got it in? Things are definitely still progressing. Since May I have lost 2 inches on my belly and gained 2 inches on my right bicep. I been eating at maintenance or above. My last block of training I failed my squat progressive overload 5x5 at 285. I failed today at 325. Now I will drop to 3x5 and go after 325 next week and keep moving the weight up doing 3x5 until I fail at those. Then drop to 3x3 keep moving up. Still getting strong block to block.You're getting plenty it sounds like. Hard to eat that much all at once. I had terrible diff time doing OMAD fasting that’s a lot of protein I. One meal. You’re a big dude though. If you are feeling ok working out fasted I guess go for it. Many people do. I just was finding lack of energy and aches pains felt my strength was really lacking doing a fasted workouts. Was wondering if the late bigger meal could be made up by taking those calories in morning with pre workout. That’s all. It’s said we should not eat high carbs later in eve. But I work 12hour shifts 7-7:30. I do eat late meals like 8:30 pm go to bed 10pm then back up for work early works ok for me. I too like to have decent fuel intake day ahead of big workouts like deadlifts or squats! Keep up the good work! If things go flat you’re not making gains then change it up.
