About that time I (nutrition)

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:18 PM

I know thats what I figured. These say SF on em, but yet theres like 9g of sugar. I dont get it. I asked the people at the store to get a case of the low carb and I would buy it all. I think the ingredients look like this on the lite stuff I got:

80 cals
0 fat
12 carbs
9 sugars
260 potassium
6 protein

So should I ditch it? This is the only stuff I got right now.

Carbs have sugars. IE green beans. Dairy has sugars. Just avoid the added shit. The most common added sugars are Starch,sucrose,maple syrup, corn starch, maltodextrin,demerara, muscovado, turbinado, Mauritius, Malawi, table sugar(duh lol), dextrose, brown sugar, syrups in general, and high fructose corn syrup. I wouldn't fear dairy sugars in yogurt or whey.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:31 PM

Its flavored with sucralose. I dont know much about that.

Pylon · 12-29-2006, 04:32 PM

Dairy sugar is one thing, but I'm betting the "lite" yogurt has added as well. One option that I find tasty is to buy the FF plain yogurt, then mix in some no sugar added apple butter or jelly.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:32 PM

Next meal

Fish fillet -100 cal and 17g protein
flax oil
broccoli -1 cup
yogurt

If you really like it and theres no other option get it. Dont eat it all the time and try to keep it to the early day if possible.

Pylon · 12-29-2006, 04:32 PM

Sucralose is the same as Splenda, I believe.

Sucralose is fine. Its an artificial sweetener. Basically Splenda. Its used by diabetics so it cant cause much of an insulin stire. I use it myself for carb ups. But you could use it in yogurt.

So is it Brutus?

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:35 PM

It is already in my yogurt. I suppose its what was used to sweeten it.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:37 PM

So I am good with this then? It shouldnt case a problem?

I know last night before bed I ate that low carb yogurt which is 1-2g sugar and 3 carbs. What do you think, ok?

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:40 PM

I got it right here. Says its sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium. Whats that?

I think its fine but i would avoid carbs before bed time except veggies. Eat your last meal like 1-2 hours before going to bed. There is no reason to ever go hungry on a cut eat as many veggies as you need.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:42 PM

My last meal is normally right before I hit the hay.

acesulfame potassium is another artificial sweetener. Two sweeteners are often used in conjunction to mask the artificial taste of the other. The effect is synergistic. Acesulfame is known to cause a release in insulin so it is bad to a certain extent. Dont throw it away just next time buy one with aspartame or splenda/Sucralose or a blend to avoid bad after taste.

You cant win every battle. I know you got a job with some tough hours.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:50 PM

It is very tough sometimes. I dont know, I could always bring my almonds to work and eat a chicken breast along with my almonds right before I go home, which would be 1-1.5 hours before bed.

Sounds good to me. Heres a helpfull tip 6 almonds =5grams of fat.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:54 PM

I normally just take a serving. Which is 17. To much?

17 almonds or 17 grams of fat?

Double D · 12-29-2006, 04:58 PM

17g fat.

Brutus_G · 12-29-2006, 05:00 PM

No thats fine in fact i would never go below 10grams of added fat(ie nuts,oils,and butters so on) at a meal. The fat actually helps lower the insulin release which is what your after on a cut. Dont count fish oil as fat and never cut calories from fish oil or protein.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 05:02 PM

Now almonds also help produce testosterone. Correct?

Brutus_G · 12-29-2006, 05:08 PM

Fat helps produce testosterone. Mainly cholesterol and saturated fat.

Double D · 12-29-2006, 05:11 PM

Which is always a nice plus. Haha. I have read that a few times. I dont know how I competed a few years ago. I know the basics about nutrition, but it really doesnt go any farther than that.

Brutus_G · 12-29-2006, 05:15 PM

hey D i gtg eat but ill be back in 45 minutes. Hey think of all the fat nutritionists taught by programs funded by cereal and bread company's
