A couple general guidelines for bodybuilding (packing on lean mass, decreasing bf%)

- Carbs are not bad. Eat your carbs early in the day centered pre and post workout

- Dietary fats are not bad. Unprocessed fats such as nuts, uncooked oils, fish oil, flax oil should be consumed w/ protein and not carbs in your later meals

- Eat 6+ times a day to put your body in a constant anabolic state while keep ing your metabolism up

- Sugars are OK if they are naturally occuring (fructose), such as fruits.... Cherries and Apples actually have very low glycemic loads!

- Simple sugars are best consumed post workout. It will also work great for blood sugar / insulin sensitivity

- Get plenty of rest. 8-10hrs for recovery.

- Drink plenty of water. Carry a bottle of water w/ u 24/7

- Never miss a meal. Pack your meals in advance.

umm, i'll add more as I think of it... my brain is kinda fried right now
