This has me confused. I assume it's supposed to be a maltodextrin/dextose combination. You should be aiming for a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein PWO. You don't need 68g of protein in your PWO shake. In your PWO meal, definitely have something that's high protein & low fat.

I don't remember ever reading where tapering carbs towards bed time helped anyone to cut. It's about net carb intake....and even more so, net caloric intake. I know you have very depleting workouts, so carbs in the evenings won't hurt you. Especially if you train in the afternoon/evening.

I am not sure how tapering carbs has helped other people. However, i do know that lowering my carbs to 20-75g a day was the only cut diet that ever worked for me.

I will have to ask him about the dextrine/dextrose. What do you take for this ross? I just got doing some HIIT and i had some whey and a glass of apple juice but i was looking for some other ideas.

Thanks

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.

Thanks Ross.

Well...fructose can be metabolized and used for energy. As far as storage goes, fructose first replenishes liver glycogen if there is a shortage, then it's stored as fat. Glucose on the other hand (starch, glucose, dextrose, etc) replenishes muscle glycogen before being stored. And your body can metabolize it more easily.

Glucose is best post workout.
Fructose is best post night out. (drinking depletes liver glycogen)

Fructose when found in fruits is perfectly fine. I just think that loading up on it post workout isn't the best idea. It will still raise your insulin some which helps to stop catabolism. But for muscle glycogen replenishment, it's not best. Lots of juices are a combination of fructose and dextrose or some other sugar. Grape juice for instance, contains lots of dextrose, which is great. I'm not sure about what's in apple juice.

I think rice cakes and blueberries are good for after your workout also. You will then get the glucose and fructose in one .

example is 70g rice cakes and 50g blueberries ( something like that )

Blueberries are great for the antioxidants. I would actually recommend taking a basic antioxidant supplement PWO or having some fruit such as blueberries. Vitamins E & C are great to have after a workout.
