Macro advice

The main issue here is WHEN you train. I train in the AM so it makes sense to eat some carbs pre-workout. Plus pasta? Or sweet potato?

Am. As soon as I wake up I drink a bunch of water eat my fruit, bagels, and protein shake and then preworkout and go lift. Basically hitting the gym within an hour of waking up. I prefer to lift at night but I can’t sleep if I use caffeine. My preworkout includes 10mg cialis and 220mg caffeine anhydrous

Bread, even as bagels, is NOT my No1 choice. Heck, bananas wold better. But we've asked and answered it obvs

A lot of it is personal too. I have cut down carbs a lot as I have gotten older. I also do not train for strength like you do so very different.

Hi guys. Kind of a silly question but I want it answered. I do lots of heavy doubles and triples in squat and deadlifts and was wondering if some days I eat 400g protein and 300g of carbs would it be just as effective as if I ate 300g protein and 500g carbs? I just hate eating carbs. Protein is easy to eat but all the rice chewing makes me want to die. Wondering if I can make it easier on myself some days and just up the protein without tanking my strength gains. For the record I don’t care about muscle gain only strength at the moment.

Add much protein as poss
