First Carb Nite

[xaggie95]

Wow.  I was anxiously awaiting the beginning of it but about 1/2 through the evening it became a chore.  All in all I feel great this morning and had a good night sleep (not any different from previous nights)Let me know how I did.  Fat 146gCarbs 406gProtein 104gWhey Protein Drink (I think this was likely a mistake since I felt a little full before I started Carb Nite)3 Chicken Tacos with Cheese and Flour Tortillas1 cup of White RiceA lot of chips and salsa (approx 108g of carb in just chips)1 skinny cow ice cream sandwich5 Flour Tortillas (with butter)3 Glazed DonutsBefore bed Ghiradelli chocolate squaresPlenty of waterI couldn't get anymore food down.  I did notice my body felt a little tingly as the night wore on.  Maybe the surge of insulin?  Quick question, is the next Carb Nite and subsequent ones supposed to mirror this one as far as intake?

I can't yet speak from experience, but from reading, I think the following are markers of a good carbnite:1. Spike insulin with quick absorbing, rather than slow release, carbs.2. Feeling of psychological satisfaction at being able to have foods that are forbidden on low-carb days.3. Feeling ready to start the next 7 low carb days.4. Not too high in fat.5. EnjoyableI can't really comment on the macro ratio breakdown - but I will be consuming at least 600g of carbs on my carbnite. 400g seems quite low - but everyone's different.
