Cool. I was just saying that tapering carbs down throughout the day isn't a proven method. Tapering carbs down over the course of a cutting cycle makes sense if you're dieting for a show.

High GI carbs are nice after a workout, but they're not necessary. You should be very insulin sensitive after a workout & your insulin should be up a bit from your pre workout meal/shake. The big reason for high GI carbs is rapid glycogen replenishment. But your diet is very structured, so you don't really have to do the high GI carbs. I don't think it's ever been shown that high GI carbs post workout are more efficient than low GI carbs in replenishing glycogen, so long as they are consumed in equal amounts. However, it's still good to have a PWO shake/meal with carbs and protein. That will pull you out of the catabolic state caused by your workout.

I've always used maltodextrin & dextrose or WMS post workout. The big reason is because I prefer to go ahead and replenish glycogen quickly because I'm lazy and a little slack with my diet from time to time. Pitysister just brought to my attention than WMS isn't necessarily a very high GI carb. Just thought I'd mention that. I would stick with something that breaks down to glucose for my PWO carb source. Try to stay away from sucrose and fructose during that period.

I'm kind of rambling. The diet looks pretty good though.
