If not, eat at least2 hrs before if you are maintaining. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan Montreal Canada (City of Festivals)

This meal is a good one to eat 'simple sugars' with your protein, and the best time probably if you are a normally 'clean eater'. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

I like it as a side like Brown Rice and other carb sources. I like it with a spaghetti sauce that is little to none in sugars, diced tomatoes and cottage cheese melted into it. A side like that is great with a breast of chicken just great and some vegi's and woo hoo you have a nice meal. It's a low GI pasta that is even slower then brown rice but it's less in fiber and other nutrients so this is why I like to mix my carb sources up and get a variety. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
