By the way, do you think I could go with those two meals per day like you do right now, and have the rest being "protein powder meals"?
I mean, going for strength and fat loss at the same time.
yup i do.. if you are going for fatloss + strength gain, then you can get away with eating under daily kcal expenditure.. you just can't be well under EVERY day.. for example, the day of a hard session that requires more time under tension / lots of explosive efforts (jumps plyos etc), you're going to want make sure you have filled up those glycogen reserves considerably.. you could do that the day of, or the day before.. A higher carb intake would be needed.. for day before, you can use whole wheat pasta/etc, for day of you could eat faster digesting carbs much earlier than the session such as bananas/gatoraid etc..
so your big meal would be be higher carb with a good protein source, then you'd go back to lower carb for the rest of those small meal/snacks which are higher in protein.
if you do higher carb on the day before those big sessions, then the day of those intense sessions you don't need to go high carb, you've already got that digested and stored for quick use.. you could go moderate/low on day of, if you start getting jitters just eat a banana/drink some gatoraid, that's a blood sugar issue.
sorry typed this out real quick gotta go get bananas hah.
