I apologize if this is a dumb question, but during the 10 day prep phase I should NOT add carbs to my PWO shake, correct?Also, I know cottage cheese is recommended a lot, but 1 cup of low fat has about 14g carbs. Do these carbs not count as usable carbs or what?Thanks for the help. 🙂
Roger, thanks!
So during the ten day phase (i do not have the book yet hence the question) what carbs are acceptable to meet the 30g limit?thanksps. sorry bumping an older thread but this was the first i saw that was relevant to my question.

Try not to do any if possible, it's easy to rack up 30g of carbs on a lot of the foods that are considered ULC.
You're shooting for 0g of carbs per day. You shouldn't be eating anything containing a lot of carbs anyway. Instill some discipline and don't eat ULC desserts. Unless you can fit it in, it shouldn't cause stress.
So every meal protein:fat and by zero carbs not even broccoli or fibrous carbs?
Correct on the first part. For carbs i shoot for less than 10g useable carbs. This means total carbs - fiber. You can look up the nutritional values of foods using websites like fitday.com and theres a bunch of other ones too.
yes thats what i was figuring.Do i have to use protein shakes during the prep phase or can i just eat meat etc...?

Only use the shakes post-workout and make sure you check the carb content of your protein powder before using it some of them have quite a bit.

I haven't been using shakes for the longest time.Will get back into them and will be using or trying out Dymatize Elite which has 24gP/2gCHO/2gF or BSN Syntha 6 which is 22gP/13CHO/6gF.The BSN also has though 5g of fiber so really its only 8g CHO.
