Green base - kale, swiss chard, or spinach. 80% time it's kale
Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries - depending on what I have
Carrot
Quickoats
Apple
Almonds
Chia seeds
water, occasionally almond milk

I can't eat bananas, which sucks because they mask the bitterness of the kale.

Also doing Shakeology. I use blackberries, raspberries, pineapple,banana, strawberry with almond milk or water. Need to get better with adding veggies. I have Ninja blender and it works great.

He throws in avocado and all kinds of random shit. Even sweet potatoes.

She swears by it. I don't get the appeal though. It does the same thing as a bullet, costs a lot more, and more cleanup.

I need the endurance for football, I understand the "just walk theory" out there, don't disagree with it, but need to run. All I see out there is that you should never run for than 20 miles a week broken up 3-4 times a week. I just want to run once a week, no more than 6 miles, usually between 3-6 miles a clip. I read not to run more than 7 mph (8:30 mile), which seems low to me even at my age. Subjective thoughts, objective facts, Science?

I still do IF, so my question is will it help/hurt? My eating window is 1 to 9 pm, and I work out fasted right before I break the fast at 1. Are eating all those carbs after the work out beneficial?

Different things work for different people. I know you're doing IF but T-Nation has some exceptional articles on carbs/workout although you might not like their stance on IF.

What I am asking though are the carbs after a workout beneficial? It seems like if you work out fasted it should be reversed. High carbs on the rest day (the day before your training day), and then low carb on training day if you work out fasted. It's probably clear that I don't have a firm understanding on how carbs actually work.

The reason I do it like I do it is because I don't "do" carbs well. Some people have the metabolism where they can eat 400g's of carbs a day and are ripped. When my "off" days are less intense (i.e. treadmill walking) my body doesn't need as many carbs so I try to stay close to keto. On the days I train heavy, the muscles are starved for carbs so those are my bigger carb intake days. Usually it's white rice, sweet potatoes/white potatoes and a shitload of vegetables.
