    Ah well I'm sure you have the right idea about everything but here's a good rule of thumb for you. Since you're doing CBL, eat fatty cuts of beef, bacon, and/or eggs during the ULC part of the day. Coffee should consist of coconut oil or MCT oil. Eat 1:1 in grams with fat and protein during that period. PWO work have the awesome backload your heart desires. However, monitor how you feel the next morning. If you feel bloated and nasty like you ate too many carbs, if the complete opposite then your spot-on and try to hit that same amount of carbs each time or based in how you feel. Use that chicken for dinner with a carb. If you want. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    Not necessarily.  That largely depends on what your goals were and what time training takes place.

    I highly recommend you buy the book.  Also the foods you eat pre-workout must be high in fat aim for a 1:1 ratio of grams of fat to grams of protein.  You will be on a MUCH higher fat diet than the standard bodybuilding diet, which sounds like where you are coming from.  Here is my advice:1.  Increase coconut oil in your morning coffee from two teaspoons to one tablespoon.  Also, if you can handle the extra caffeine have two cups of coffee.2.  Have one or two pre-workout meals.  I personally find it best to have one meal.  A guy weighing 175 ish would probably want around 50 grams of fat and 50 grams of protein, combined, from their pre-workout meal.  In my opinion the best and tastiest pre-workout meals is half a pound of bacon and three or four eggs (if you are feeling breakfast) or half a pound of 80/20 ground beef (if you are feeling more lunch).  It would be a good idea to eat a little bit of veggies with it.  Ditch the fruits and lean meats, these are not good to eat when you are Ultra Low Carb.  3.  Caffeine and coconut oil pre-workout.  Coffee works here, but caffeine pills are the better option here.4.  Your backloads look good.
