I purposely cut the carbs down the last 2 meals. This is all a little under 3k cals I believe, I am running through this quickly atm, as I do not have much time. What do you think, more carbs pre workout?

[Dabomber]

When cutting down, try to avoid powdered food, canned food, dairy..

why dont u eat potatos instead of met Rx and phosphagen hp???

[YatesNightBlade]

Have some fruit Pre workout.

[Alex.V]

Yah, I'd throw an apple in pre-workout. Fructose is pretty good before hitting the gym.

Everything looks pretty good ... but eat DIRECTLY after you train. This is not negotiable.

[The_Chicken_Daddy]

See that? NOT NEGOTIABLE!....or else we might just get nasty....

[Yaz]

I feel like you guys think I'm a complete idiot. Of course I know a post workout meal is NON NEGOTIABLE!

[Leviathan]

No... they don't think you are an idiot, they are just making sure you bring your food into the gym so after that last rep you immediately dive into the food right there on the weight room floor.

[Budiak]

I've seen guys shake up protein on the workout floor. Big guys.

[Anthony]

Oh, I apologize Yaz, for some reason I thought you were training shortly after your 1:30 meal. Think you mentioned something in chat about training around that time. Maybe it wasn't normal day. Sorry!
