Ate the above now and im 94kg.
But I think Im going to start reintroducing more carbs as my training has increased a lot more.
I think I had insulin resistance from horrible diet as a kid. I think I've maybe reset it from a year of the 2nd diet ive quoted.
I definitely need that sweet potato before training and/or definitely a higher % of veg after training to restore that glycogen.
I'm done with most grains though. White rice isnt that bad for me- but brown sits heavy in my stomach, so does pasta and bread. Not sure if it's gluten or the other short chain carb they've just discovered. But I'm just trying to listen to by body as best as possible these days.
I might try lentils and quinoa again soon and see how bloated I become. But like Apperz said - carbs are important for those who train 5 days a week. Especially post workout. Doesnt have to be mental either, just maybe that extra veg, especially the sweeter ones like carrot and peppers, rather than a shite load of spinach.
Meal timings are key I believe.
