I assume your consuming a carb/pro drink post workout. That's fine for performance but for body composition i don't think such a huge spike in insulin is a good idea. I just drink protein shake these days.

A few of your meals have no fat? What food sources are you using? I would have healthy fats and/or veggies in every meal to manage insulin levels.

yeah i was reading up on alan aragons methods....thats where it came from ..on sgx i was taking in a similar ratio pwo...but yes it does seem high.....it would be in the form of a shake...with whey,dex,oats,banana

this is just something im toying with...i really am having a time figuring out what to do pre, and post workout....as well as how many carbs to eat...throughout the day...i think i need to run one of my ideas for a month a see how it affects me

I also workout after meal 1. I eat shredded wheat and natty pb with ff milk and occasionally some OJ for meal one. So that's 60-70% carbs and the rest in fat, virtually no protein.

For meal 2(PWO) I eat ff cottage cheese with honey. That's 60-70% protein and no fat.

I like getting that protein in after the workout for rebuilding. I like having those carbs before the workout for energy. I swear by my pb(fat) BWO although I don't know if/why/how it works.

I'm not saying this is the right way or the best way, but I like it. I also like your idea of trying your plan for a month, although if it totally doesn't work, it won't take you a month to learn that:D
