There certainly is when you're limiting carbs and starches. It is probably the worst of all foods when doing that in starch content

Wrong. It's best to eat those complex carbs early in the day. Like brown rice, etc. A medium to a medium-large baked potato is VERY high in starch and carbs. Roughly 70-90 carbs depending on how big it is.

For example:

My "cutting" diet:

7:00am: 8-10 Egg Whites with 1-2 yolks, scrambled or omlet style, with a piece or two of weat bread toast about 50-60g Protein about 30-40 carbs

9:30am: BioTest Grow Low Carb Chocolate Protein Shake (4g Carbs, 40g Protein)

11:30am: Tuna Salad and Whole Wheat Bread(2 pieces) about 40g Protein and 20g Carbs

2:00pm: BioTest Grow Low Carb Chocolate Protein Shake (4g Carbs, 40g Protein)

5:00pm: 96% Lean hamburger Meat (40-50g Protein, 2-3carbs), or 10oz Lean Grilled Chicken breast (30-40g Protein), or Lean Steak (40-60g Protein 2-3 carbs)

6:30-8:30: Very heavy weight training

Post Workout: BioTest Grow Low Carb Chocolate Protein Shake (4g Carbs, 40g Protein)

11:00pm: Another BioTest Grow Low Carb Chocolate Protein Shake (4g Carbs, 40g Protein)


For a total of about 300g Protein/day. I need this to maintain my LBM (lean body mass), or muscle tissue while restricing carbs to cut as much as possible. I am 6-1 and 285bs now at 9-10% bodyfat now (holding a bit of water though) and I am cutting using this diet. Also, throw in cardio INTENSE for 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes each time. Do it on an empty stomach for maximum results.

Also, you need to drink roughly a gallon or so of water a day. Don't go over 2 a day though. If you want to know more, just shoot me a PM.
