Is the whole carb/fat separation garbage? Does anyone abide by it anymore? Esp. if it's clean cals? Nuts/peanut butter and granola or oats?
That part of his theory is what I find kinda goofy. Yes that situation would lead to fat gain but it would require a large meal to create it. It seems he has just used an article-selling, round-about way to say not to eat too much in a single meal.I think the intent is not be so extreme as to say if you have carbs in a meal you should have zero fat and visa versa. Rather meals that are HIGH in carbs such as a PWO meal should be lower in fat, meals that are higher in fat such as a typical pre-bedtime meal (e.g. Cottage Cheese and flax oil) would be lower in carbs. The idea being that you don't want to have a high amount of fat and carbs in the bloodstream at the same time. I think most guys tend to eat this way in general without even thinking about it.
so consensus is, it's ok to include both?
cottage cheese - 50g pro
almonds - 15g of fat
granola 30g of carbs?
Yeah I separate that as much as possible although it is definitely hard to completely separate them when you are trying to really bulk.i abide by it for the most part. it's kinda hard to completely separate them though. i surely don't believe it's BS.
