Add peanut butter to this meal?

[JG1]

On a low carb diet, just eating carbs for my first meal and postworkout (non-training days eat carbs only first meal).


Here's the problem, my first meal on training days is a protein pancake I make that has the following:
1c oats
1.25c Egg beaters
1/2c NF cottage cheese
8 splenda
sprinkle of cinammin

I blend everthing in a food processor and cook it in a 12" pan, when it's done I sprinkle some more splenda and cinnamin on top. This meal has about 530-540 calories...bout 55g protein, 65g carbs, 6g fat. (This pancake is awesome BTW)


Problem is I train 2.5 hours later and I'm always hungry by the time I get to the gym, and feel like I'm working out on an empty stomach. I was thinking if I add maybe 1Tbs of peanut butter in the pancake the extra fat might help with the hunger from the extra fat.

Is there a problem with having 15g fat in moderate high carb meals? I've always heard NEVER to combine the two (fat/carbs). BTW, I also take in some fish oil caps with this meal.

na, the PB won't help much. you need to eat a small meal about an hour before you train. i usuall have a can of tuna and a banna.

peanut butter slows digestion don't eat it before you lift you'll taste it on the way back up. and btw it isn't as good the 2nd time around

You also dont want to mix fat and carbs like that. If your training its going to create an insulin spike and eating fats before that will just make you fatter. You just want to have a small meal before training otherwise your asking to get sick. Something like a bannana and a small chicken breast would be fine. Or you could have a whole wheat bagel maybe.
