How much fat is acceptable to include in your PWO meal? I've been tending towards very low fat carbs like cereal, but was wondering if something like Pop-Tarts, which have a fair amount of fat are compliant. What are your upper limits?

If you have a caloric goal and a carb goal, the fat limit is easliy calculated.

For example, using 40g carbs and 200 calories, you've got 40 calories left over to play with. If you had 0g protein somehow, that'd only leave you with 4.5g fat.

Thanks Erik. Damn, not much then... guess I'll stick to the Cocoa Pebbles :huh:
