carbs and dividing it equally

Even though i have been lifing weight for about past 3 years..all i knew was protein...that was one good thing i never missed in my meals..however excuse me if my questions seem non sense or stupid....i have just started 6 meals and clean eating..I hear that you have to divde your carbs equally though out your meals...and also i read ..to eat vegs in the evening and last meal to be casein and fat... so if i am on

210 carb
210 protein
46 fat

if i leave the last meal alone and divide 210/5 that would equal 42 g of carbs each meal....if my 1st 4 meals are complex carbs and 5th meal if i have
a veg(brocoli, or green bean) that would mean almost 600 Gram of vegs to consume to equal 42g of fiberous carbs....I feel like I am incorrect or I am missing a point can some one elaborate

thanks..........

Be a little patient. You waited what, 11 minutes?

And don't count fibrous carbs - it takes more calories to digest them than they contain I believe, so they really don't count for anything.

Ok..i was just reading about that on another website...thanks Any knowlege people agree with this method the article says no fat in the morning, post workout and the meal after postwork out also...it says to divide total carb into 3 of the meals 25% in the morning 50 % post workout and 25% meal after postworkout to minimize fats......i cut and pasted some of the article below

Meal Breakdown

To maximize food absorption and favor muscle gain over fat gain (or to preserve muscle mass while dieting) you should ingest 6-7 meals per day. Three of those meals should contain carbs and proteins (breakfast, immediate post-workout drink, and meal 60-90 minutes after your workout). The remaining 3-4 meals should be made up of protein, good fats, and green veggies.

The ideal time to train is around 10:00am. This gives us the following eating schedule:

Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal

Meal 2 (post-workout, around 11:00): Carbs + protein recovery drink (Surge)

Meal 3 (12:30): Carbs + protein meal

Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 5 (18:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 6 (21:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Obviously, not everybody can train at this time. For those who have to train in the evening (around 5:00 or 6:00pm), the following schedule is appropriate:

Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal

Meal 2 (10:00) Carbs, protein, and green veggies

Meal 3 (12:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 5 (Post-workout, around 18:00): Protein and carb drink

Meal 6 (21:00): Carbs + protein meal

Finally, those who have to train in the morning (around 8:00am) should use the following schedule:

Meal 1 (upon waking up): Carbs + protein meal drink

Meal 2 (post-workout, around 9:00): Carbs + protein recovery drink (Surge)

Meal 3 (12:30): Carbs + protein meal

Meal 4 (15:30): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 5 (18:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies

Meal 6 (21:00): Protein, fat, and green veggies

* Note that in this last situation we use a carb and protein drink in the morning. This is because we need to get the nutrients absorbed as fast as possible so that digestion won't interfere with workout intensity.

Why in the world aren't you eating your fibrous veggies with the carbs? That doesn't make any sense.

Whoa there buddy. Funky's probably written more about this kinda stuff in the past month than you'll ever read in your life.

I think fats are more important than carbs most of the time. The rule of thumb I use for carbs is "Only consume a lot of carbs when you're going to use them." This excludes vegetables and fruit.

I follow the same mentality, its been working for me.

Ha ha. I think sometimes we forget there are humans behind the computers. Its as though we expect the computer to be our instantaneous source of information.

I keep things balanced on workout days or not. I might taper my carbs a bit quicker on non-workout days but for the most part my diet stays consistent throughout. It's worked worlds of wonders for me.

I also wanted to add that the only real rule I stick to is keeping fats away from the meals around my workouts (on workout days) and carbs away from sleep time. Other than that, balance is the key to my diet.

Is seems like a good deal to me, do you mind posting an example, of what you mean exactly in numbers.....

Posted by: ABCs

I don't count numbers actually. I have become quit in tune with my body that I know what I need to change where, when I want certain results... if that makes sense. I have come to the realization that I am not a competitor of any sort and am doing this lifestyle for me and my general health. I could easily post my diet but numbers won't be in there. The only numbers I have are numbers of progression. 70lbs of fat lost and 8 inches off of my waist... not to mention the muscle I have gained. I have been a bit more lax on my diet due to a recent car accident but getting back into my little groove of diet and training takes little effort since I have become so accustomed to doing it.

As for what I mean by balance is that each meal has EFAs, good clean carb source (usually OF oatmeal or long grain organic brown rice), and a healthy amount of protein. I also keep my fibrous veggie intake as high as possible. Everyone reacts differently to different parts of a diet so tweaking where you feel fit is the most important. I have found "balance" to be my niche.
