For best results from personal experience, eat some carbs + protein around 1 hr before you hit the gym.

I've had some crazy workouts after popping off a proteinplus powerbar as pre-workout.

I also found, in a pinch, a plus-size snickers/mars bar is a very tasty and energizing preworkout

Holy shit that's like what 150g ++ of carbs in one sitting??!?!

Dayummmm........

I love those Fortifx bars from Egonutritions. Can't get enough of em especially the peanut butter cup. Such a shame they're soooooo pricey.

Looking at your recent progress pics, you are still far from fat.

There's no need to crack your head calculating, just eat more til you hit around 75-80kgs, then reduce the carbs.

Sugar is considered "fast carbs" like maltodextrose.

Some people seperate it because they split the slow compound carbs (brown rice, sweet potatoes) from the simple sugars (used PeriWO)

It's not something you need to worry too much about until you get more advanced.............

No, salt is not only good for health and in fact necessary to replenish the minerals washed out of your body during sweat, but of course, excess salt is bad for health.

Moderation is key.........

Btw, if you cooked the earlier dish, I gotta say, you are a pretty damn good cook! Certainly better than me, and I consider myself not bad (better than most girls )!!

Of course it won't, knock yourself out.

If you're really worried, use sea salt and drink more water. You'll be fine.

Why would Gatorade keep you "fit and focus(ed)"?

Yes depending on the amount consumed and total macros you can be leading yourself down the sweet garden path to diabetes.

By the way, diabetes affects a growing number of malaysians every day.

I would stay away.

If you want to be focused - green tea, green tea extract, guarana, caffeine tabs, coffee >>>>>>> soda.

In that order.
