Re: weight training & carbs

[Guest guest]

My opinion: YES! plus if you're not eliminating dairy, I would say yogurt

is an excellent source of carbs (you get the protein factor there also, plus

the calcium). I notice alot of body builders push cottage cheese too. I

will often have a small yogurt prior to working out (as I am a fasting

hypoglycemic, this seems to work well for me).

Good for you that you are working out!
