More Carbs, Less everything else

1Corinthians13

Man, I've been posting like crazy! I didn't realize how much I needed this website ... or how much a website like this could help ... until I joined!

Anyway, I'm noticing that I almost always go over in fat and protein but don't even come close in carbs! And this is staying close to my total calories...or sometimes being below.

What foods can I eat that are high in carbs and low in everything else? I don't understand this b/c I am eating healthy. It's a little frustrating.

Man, I feel like I have a lot of those in my diet anyway! Maybe, I need to eat less meat...

What are your ratios set like?

I just have them at the default setting. I do want to learn what they should be for a runner, though.

When starting out and trying to build muscle, protein is a good thing, as long as it isn't high in fat and cholestoral. There is a neat article around here somewhere that talks about percentages, 50% protien and so forth... *mumbles to self* I'm going to go try and find it, it may help!

This isnt the one I was looking for, but look at the post from songbyrdsweet. She pretty much knows everything. :bigsmile:

I know there's protein in the milk, but when I need 200ish calories and need more carbs...I add a bowl of cereal. Kix, Cherios, ect.
