Given my carb-challenged physiology (type 2, non-insulin dependent) I'm not able to take advantage of a 40/40/20 macro ratio.
I need about 2900 kcals to gain 1lb every 7-10 days (5'9", 150lbs, ~10%). About 100g of carbs is my limit before blood glucose creeps up. Most are consumed pre and/or post w.o. Factoring in 250g of protein, that leaves about half of my calories from fat.
Thought I would see what kind of ideas everyone had on the best way to make this work or on alternatives. I will be hitting the doc up for some exo insulin on the next visit but in the meantime this is what I have to work with.
