Wisper 2011-11-25T23:15:31Z 2011-11-25T23:15:31Z <p>I've been on paleo LeanGains for a few months, and carb intake on training days is also the biggest challenge I'm facing - along with the restrictions low fat intake on training days puts in the diet but that's another topic. I have poor appetite, so I need carb-dense foods to get to the 350g of carbs I currently take.</p> <p>My main go-tos are honey, dates, sultanas, figs, sweet potatos, fruit, home-made coconut ice "cream," and palatinose and buckwheat in a shake when eating just gets too much and you don't care about being dogmatic about paleo.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/79486/leangains-and-paleo-how-do-you-get-enough-carbs/79498#79498 Answer by Adulescens Appetens for Leangains and paleo, how do you get enough carbs? Adulescens Appetens 2011-11-26T01:23:49Z 2011-11-26T01:23:49Z <p>I usually take sweet potatoes and bananas. The possibilities with those alone are endless, e.g. banana-coconut smoothie, yam fries, baked banana.</p>
