So that's exactly the opposite, loads of carbs, loads of protein, a little bit of fat.

Also, how can you do a decent workout on that amount of carbs?

Not dissing at all, but if I don't eat a decent carb rich meal + a banana, I surely can't deadlift or squat!
Working out, I'll be able to answer that question next week

However, I will then have 30g carbs pre- and 30g carbs post-workout, that don't count towards my daily goals as they will be burned completely by the workout.

That said, I feel strong and with more energy this whole month (aside from first few days/week) and even playing 3 hours of intensive hockey find myself faster and with more endurance than before, with no carbs.
