Favorite carbs

[Kay1991]

just depends on your theory of contest prep. If you are a "just hit macros" belieer then sure, under that theory pop tarts and frosted flakes are fine too, however, I dont subscribe to that theory, I think there are other issues of micrnutrients etc, and during prep I tend towards more natural (ie less man-made) carb choices as much as possible.

I see... but the "just hit macros" theory i think you also gotta hit a certain amt of fiber intake per day? and pop tarts and frosted flakes dont give u that lol.

Also, considering that just 30g of the fiber 1 cereal has 14g of fiber in it, more fiber than 100g of oats, isnt it a better option if one were to start to restrict carbs? 25g of carbs per 30g of fiber 1 VS 62g of carbs per 100g of oats...

Brown Rice Bread, Cream of Rice, Rice, and sweet potatoes.

Sweet Potatoes or Indian Basmati Rice..... (this is a NO Pop-Tart Zone!!!)

Go for it, I stick to mainly "out of the ground foods" during prep for the micronutrients they provide as well. It its working for you right on.

in-season
oats is numero uno
white potato pwo
sweet potato
brown rice
quinoa
ezekiel bread, love this with sugar free jelly, make toast
strawberries
blueberries
grapefruit
whole wheat pasta

off-season
honey nut cheerios dry, crunch and finger food
whole grain breads also pumpernickel
oats again
fiber one cereal
ezekiel bread
any fruits I want
and any carbs from the list above

I'm addicted to the Sesame Ezekiel bread with Walden farms no calorie, sugar free rasberry jelly. Also some almond or peanut butter is great on the bread (I toast it as well).

Frozen hashbrowns #1........

Sweet potatoes are my number one. Sweet potato hash browns are amazing as well, just grate them up with cheese grater throw some stevia and cinnamon on them they will change your life. Oats are amazing too

wow i have some great ideas from this now, awesome thanks again!

[The Solution]

Oats
Both potatoes (White/Sweet) Make Latkes and Hashbrowns with them all the time
Just started eating Ezekiel Bread (cinnamon raising makes BOMB french toast)

Egg Whites + Cinnamon + Stevia + Baking Powder.. Dip the bread in there and fry.. comes out awesome.. top with Walden Farms Syrup + Fruit
Fruit (Strawberries/Blueberries)
Veggies -- Broccoli as a side, use Pepper/Mushroom/Onions with omlettes and in stirfry's all the time.

Flatouts./Low Calorie Pita's.. Make great home-made pizzas with Chicken/Lean Beef + Sauce + Veggies (Layne Norton has a video on youtube)

Offseason: Cereal and Pasta/Rice when my carbs get high enough.
Pancake powders (mostly organic) comes out to liek 12-13g of carbs per 1/3 cup.

** I bake a lot of things as well with WW Flour, Grinded up Oats, and plenty of other things that are VERY healthy...just ask Jason (Scooby)
