What is everyone's thoughts on grains? Is it good to cut them out completely somedays (as in days when workouts are easier or off days)?

I've decided I definitely want to add grains into my diet on days like today where I worked out really hard and need the carbs for energy. And definitely I will eat them nights before the mornings I will go for long runs.

But other than that has anyone has success by cutting out a portion of the carb intake? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    It's not that complicated. Eat your grains, just stay with in your macro-nutrient goals.

    If you are allowed say..250 carbs each day...eat whatever types of carbs you enjoy to eat to fit into your limit.

    didn't think it was complicated and I'm aware I can eat what I want just stay within my guidelines, just wanted to know what everyone else has done or not done to get some feedback.

    I never like the idea of cutting out an entire food group. I may limit how much I consume, but never deny it entirely.

    If you have an intolerance, allergy, or medical related condition to any particular food item (some people have a grain intolerance) then I would absolutely limit or eliminate that food item from your diet.

    If you do not have any of the above conditions, I would not seek to eliminate anything from your diet provided you enjoy eating that food item.
