avoidance when cutting?

[reso]

should i avoid complex carbs such as WHOLE WHEAT BREAD or WHOLE GRAIN Bread?

[Slim Schaedle]

I've read that any kind of bread will shoot up your insulin levels,......so, fine for post workout then.

[reso]

ah crap:( what veggies are good to eat and have a good low carb count? besides brocolli:/

[Slim Schaedle]

Im not too sure about the carb issue...but i do know that good veggies are bulky ones ...like you mentioned broccoli...and then stuff like cauliflour (spelling?)

[reso]

cool thx

[MWB]

Old fashioned oats and sweet potatoes are good carb choices. For veggies I like Brocolli, grean beans, mushrooms romain lettuce ,cauliflower

[reso]

mushrooms high in sodium/carb count??????? also i heard pickles have no caloric value ,is this tru?

[syntekz]

sugars have bunch of sugar don't they?

[CBates]

When cutting, I pretty much just stick to the green veggies for fiber.. Spinach, asparagus, green beans, and so on.

[w8lifter]

Mushrooms don't have a high carb count, but I've never checked the sodium content...I doubt a fresh vegetabel would be loaded w/ sodium.

I usually eat broccoli, caulflower, green beans, romaine lettuce, celery & green pepper.

LOL. I get ahead of myself sometimes, don't I? (WOW)

I meant to say that pickles have a bunch of sugar...

Oh! *lol* nice one.....

i think sweet pickels would, but other than the sugar already in cucumbers (negligible), a traditional pickling solution doesn't have sugar in it.

What's wrong with carrots?

[YatesNightBlade]

High GI

[Maki Riddington]

Personally I don't see carrots being a problem, you'd have to eat a lot of them to really notice a rise in blood sugar levels.

:withstupi

Yup I agree with Maki. Sorry bout the sign. I can't seem to help myself.

[ElPietro]

Ok...well right now meal two for me is an apple and a ziplock bag of baby carrots...not sure if it's the best...but the amount of carbs from the carrots is almost insignificant...

It looks like its getting close to cutting time for a lot of us. Does anybody see a problem with frequently using beef jerkey for snacking while cutting. Besides the sodium content it looks sweet to me. Anyone?

[CBates]

Most beef jerky is kind of expensive. If you have the money for it, then it's fine to eat, but I'd rather save money and eat tuna and chicken.

[mr_hand]

Yesterday, I was at the store, and I bought one of those minnie bags of beef jerkey. There is about 12 pieces in it and when I read $5.99, I almost s**t.

[gino]

If you eat jerkey every day, the sodium won't be a problem because your body will make adjustments to balance the added sodium intake. With sodium, consistency is the key.

ElPeitro - that is a meal for you? Where's the protein?
