It's the fat and carbs combo that does the real metabolic damage to your health.

You need to specify what you're talking about here, because you may confuse some people. You can have carbs and fats in the same meal, Ossoi is talking about processed garbage that COMBINES fats and carbs that does not naturally occur in nature.
Unless you actually think the former, which is absolutely fucking retarded.
As for recovery/specific workouts, I think it goes from person to person. Strength training seems to work for a lot of people, along with 12-10-8 workouts, but neither seemed to work for me. I try to take 2 days off per week but if I'm feeling good I'll cut it to one. However, there's been times where my CNS is completely fucking tapped and I need 3-5 days off. Just listen to your body bros, he's trying to talk to you!

I already said low quality fats in the post he replied to. I would speculate that it's this combination that is so powerful in terms of taste, endorphin release and leptin suppression that makes it so easy to binge eat. Therefore solely demonising the carbs in a large pizza for example, is missing the big picture.
Regardless,, there is a train of thought that says when lifting weights to eat protein/fat before training and protein/carbs post. With carbs saved for evening meals on rest days

There are so many different opinions and approaches to that it makes my head spin. I finally stopped thinking about it and just hit caloric and protein goals with at least enough carbs to not go catabolic. There are days when my fat intake will cut into my carb intake some and whether its a workout day or not I eat the food I feel like eating. Sometimes I eat breakfast sometimes I don't. Some people are sensitive to food and its effects but luckily, thank god, I'm not one of them. Low carb, high carb, fasted training, pre workout meals etc.. I never notice a difference. I might be better able to experiment with stuff like that once I'm out of the deficit. 4 more weeks, fuck this adipose fat.

Low carb helped me lose 30 pounds. High carb has helped me pack on muscle and train for hypertrophy. Ever do hypertrophy during keto? It's a nightmare.
I also do not like to eat before a lift. Ever. I like training on an empty stomach, otherwise I burp up all my food during and feel bloated. My friend always eats before training.
Like you said, person to person. Figure out what is best for you. I don't believe in eating windows.

If I eat 45 minutes before training, I don't have a problem. Eggs/bacon/oatmeal/banana are my go-to in the morning before I head out to train. After lifting, I usually drink a protein shake and eat a few california rolls before I do jits.

I do best if I eat roughly an hour before my workout unless it's something really light like a protein bar. Empty stomach and completely full are both awful for me

Is this for weightloss, muscle gain, or both? I usually workout not too long after I wakeup so we're talking 10-12 hrs without food which I can really notice on heavy lifts.
If it's for weight loss I've heard a lot from both sides and don't have any clue which is best

Training fasted is fine - I would recommend using BCAAs to make sure you don't get catabolic

I go to bed at 10 wake up at 5:30 and go lift.
I down some Amino Energy and go. I don't personally drink coffee or anything caffeinated so the 100mg of caffeine really gets me going. Also, I've never crashed while using it, which is a big plus.

I'm at 167 and still have a bit left there. I've been as heavy as 225 but the current drop is from 195. I'm no more than 12% bf at this point but its hanging on. Unfortunately you can't do much of anything about it besides continue dropping weight. Genetics are super fucking irritating like that. Ill probably have a nice 4 pack before the bottom is flat.

Going to go a couple weeks @ 2000 calories/day and ramp up my exercise. Really trying to track and weigh everything I eat so I can eat an honest 2000 calories too. My weight just teeters between 184-187lbs. I'm lifting 3-4 times a week, and cycling 2-3 times a week. Hopefully I can figure out the logjam and get lean.
No, I'm mostly just fat fat. I'm only 5'8" I have a decent amount of muscle, if I weighed about 175 I think I'd look pretty nice. But that's just a guess.
