Daily meals pre-workout and junk food as the last meal

[oRly]

1. I know it says that only about 30grams of carbs are to be eaten during the day. But does this mean 30 usable carbs or fiber?2. Let's say you have sweet potatoes (that gives you about 100g of carbs) with some chicken breast as a first meal about 1hr after your post-workout shake. After a 1-2 hour session of weightlifting you dont empty much glycogen-storage, so that means that you wont really need more carbs for storing. If you then have, as newly recommended, junk food (donuts,cupcakes, sugary products in general) on top of that you'll store the excess fructose as fat. So why the recommendation of the ''junk'' in the last meal?

1. Usable carbs.2. That amount of work will be fairly depleting. Also donuts and cupcakes have less sugar then you thing, most of the carb count will come from the flour. The junk is also an easy way to get the hormonal response we are chasing.
