I really really struggle with proper eating when it comes to my workouts. I'm a vegetarian and have been all my life. But I eat so much crap. I would say that 70%~ of my diet is made up of carbs. It's really ridiculous. I also find that I usually don't have my first meal of the day until about 4-5pm. Which is usually a plain cheese sandwhich, a pizza or home cooked noodles with vegetables. Being a vegetarian and disliking cooking is a pretty tough deal! Ha. Also julian, I tried to email you from your website, but your contact form is broken, after Googling for 5 minutes to find your contact information I couldn't find anything for bodyhack. Do you have an actual email? (Finding this on your site was impossible).

I don't think carbs are necessarily bad. Vegetarianism was long deemed healthy (maybe still), and I don't see how low carb should be possible for vegertarians (if you have ideas, please tell me). I have a non-proven theory: perhaps humans can adapt do different diets, not only different environments. Or actually in former times the environment pretty much dictated the diets. So if humans were good at settling in diverse environments, it practically follows that they are good at adapting to different diets. So maybe not the modern 90% junk diet (sugars and white flour), but the difference between low and high carb might not be so important. Also not sure why pizza tends to be condemned so much. Sure, if you buy a pizza at a restaurant, it is probably soaked in fat and covered with cheap cheese. But if I make one at home, it tends to have a lot of vegetables on it, and the amount of cheese doesn't have to be excessive. It seems at least healthier than the average cheese sandwich.
