ok to eat brocolli, flax, and protein in same meal? or no?

[Clean]

I know you are not supposed to mix fats and carbs with protein, but does the brocolli count as carbs? So I am asking would it be ok to have brocolli, flax oil, and a protein at same meal?

Thanks

Really? I am afraid you have been misinformed

Mix all three. Fats, protein and CHO. Eat around the plate. That is unless you are on that wanna be adkins thing.

John Berardi was a big advocate of the fats vs CHO concept. Though I find some truth in mixing unhealthy fats and high GI carbs as a waste, and fat gain, eating healthy fats, with veggies and a low GI carb and protein is fine. Just don't stick to fats, pre and post-workout

brocolii is a fibrous CHO, eat it up. B does the body good.

Maybe with some ranch dressing? it has 11g fat, and 1.5 of that is saturated. 2 carbs.

Actually I disagree with the above. Some complex carb+low amount fish/flax oil+pro will create positive anabolic environment pre-workout. PW - stay away!

Also I'd sub in spinach instead of broc any day, but....
