Does anyone else feel a little snookered by the CBL protocol regarding fruit? I like fruit, but I know it's not a great choice for CBL because of fructose etc, but then on non training days I'm trying to watch my carb intake, so... Should I forget that and just eat fruit on non training evenings (I'm talking a small orange, maybe an apple and banana etc)?Also, I can't find this anywhere but is yogurt okay for non training day evenings? The particular Greek style brand I usually buy has about 5g net carbs per 100g.Thanks.
I take in a lot of greek yogurt on non training days. I love that stuff. I count it towards my total carbs for the day but I don't watch it too much. It's high in protein, fat and pretty low in carbs so if I go over a bit I am not freaking out. Even on my off days I still do bw exercises/HIIT which I can only hope makes up for the extra couple carbs per day sometimes.As for fruit I cannot comment on.I bought my sister the CNS book and she said that you eventually are able to add fruit into your diet. I never got specifics on it though.
I never liked yogurt, but the lack of fruit does sometimes bother me. Sometimes you just gotta say "screw optimal, this back-load is going to be all watermelon"... once in a while. 🙂
Thanks guys.Stephen, out of curiosity, how many grams of carbs do you shoot for on non training days?
I'm 5'9.75(yes to me the .75 matters) and 185 at 18% bf. If i'm feeling particularly fat, I stick with the 30 grams. If i'm feeling good and pretty drained that night I will go up to 75-100 grams of carbs(total for that day). That could come from cereal, yogurt, chocolate sometimes, rice. It's all in one meal usually an hour or two after exercise. I'm doing a light density bulking at the moment. If I take in too many carbs I get fat fast.
