I agree in eating after work-out. I always exercise on an empty stomach and eat soon after. My favorite is a shake with egg, cream and, if I have any, fresh strawberries. Higher in carbs than my "normal" meals....but it's still pretty low and it's all healthy nutrients.

If you truely eat high fiber cereal....no refined carbs, no added sugars, that's great. But people will take this to mean the cereals that are on the market advertized as high fiber, but they're mostly refined ingredients.

I also disagree with the amounts!
"The general guideline is a carb intake of a half-gram per pound of body weight. So a 150-pound person should eat about 75 grams of carbs, or the equivalent of a cup of cooked pasta. "

If you run a 10 min mile, you're replacing almost half of what you just burned off!
