juliep513 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hi All - I'm new to the forum/whole30 - starting today! I workout/lift weights 4-5 days/week and I was wondeirng how the meal planning & carbs go - are the only carbs throughout the day the ones in the post workout meal? And then the other meals are strictly fats/proteins? I was also thinking of doing a squash carb in my last meal because its closest to pre-workout. What does everyone else do? Do you have carbs throughout the day or not really? Is it bad to have some berries with almond milk at the end of the day? Just wondering what are best practices, etc. Thank you!

Alana in Canada Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Check out the whole30 food logs in that part of the forum. You should have veggies, a protein and a thumbful ofapproved fat with every meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted November 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2012 The Whole30 is not a low-carb diet. You can eat as many starchy vegetables like sweet potato, butternut squash, etc. as you need to maintain energy levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I eat my sweet potato post workout , a fruit with meal one, and another sweet potato with meal two.....( or variations on a theme) After that I stick with veg, but I'm trying to get more compact and my workouts reflect that.... If you have a game plan, eat to fuel your specific goals, you'll be able to dial it it by week two, just by how you feel if you listen to your body and not your emotions..... If I were trying to pack on muscle, I'd be eating two sweet potatoes with every meal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
