I never really follow any strict diet regiment....mainly just making it clean as I can with a cheat meal every so often....usually once or twice a week. I'm not disciplined enough to really count out micros, macros, and total calories. I make a very conscious effort when meal selecting to keep meats lean with low glycemic carbs and leafy and/or cruciferous veggies that are high in fibe, essential vitamins and minerals and anti oxidants as my sides.
Post workouts are different. My shake is typically any combination of highly branched cyclic dextrin, oat starch powder and/or sweet potato powder or milled long grain rice as my carbs and a few scoops of whey isolate with a little added collagen peptide powder.
