[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 266215, member: 43589"] Vince, I have had the luck to be able to do a 3 day dietary analysis on a few IFBB Pros. Most of them eat kind of low carb diets. While the muscles need carbs to grow, carbohydrates calories in excess can quickly spill over to be stored as body fat. So lower glycemic carbs are usually consumed as much as possible. Here is analysis I did on Phil Heath during a bulking cycle. Typical day’s total consumption: 9394 calories, 910 g protein, 881 g carbs, 239 g Protein = 910g = 3640 cal (39%) Carbs = 881g = 3524 cal (38%) Fat - 239g = 211 cal (23%) Fat is usually kept the same year round, Protein is kept the same and carbs are cycled. Most carbs are low glycemic sources and taken in before and after training to only fill glycogen stores used during training. This help avoid any spill over to body fat stores. My hats off to you training early in the morning. I have 7am classes and up at 4am but I am not functioning 100% until after 8am. It would be hard to get a meal in that time of the morning. [/QUOTE]
