If I break it down the numbers don’t stack up:
I know a lot of people here eat potatos and rice, but Peat says that’s not ideal, so let’s scratch those.
Fructose is debatable at best. I’m aware Peat is a fan, but Peat also says 200 grams of carbs per day are optimal, and he lists a quart of OJ and two quarts od milk as the ideal source. That 200 gram carb combo come out to only about 50 grams of fructose (from OJ, as there is none in milk). I also remember a few very knowledgable people in this forum also capping the daily fructose intake at 50 grams max.
And so - if a person consumes 200 grams of protein (weight lifting) and tries to adhere to the Peat recommended 2:1 carb to protein ratio, how the hell is one supposed to reach that, without going nuclear on fructose? (Over 50 grams). Or going the starch way? Both non-Peaty. Lactose also not feasible in that amount - way too much milk.
Would the artificial forms of powdered glucose, dextrose or maltodextrin be okay? I very much resist that idea, it’s bad enough I already consume lab-made aminos like bcaa, glycine, taurine, whey or creatine.
But where to then get those 400+ grams of carbs that are zero starch and low fructose?
