Veggies are considered carbs, right? If so, are we only suppose to eat them PWO or with every meal?
Well it says to eat veggies (and fruits, which are also carbs btw) every 3 hours, so unless you're working out every 3 hours, that means you eat them throughout the day. Was that a joke?

On a different note, I really don't like this "carbs PWO only". If you're cutting serious weight then that might be good advice, but normally for hard training athletes, this would kill you. I think there's a disconnect between the body-building types and the actual athletes, and unfortunately much print and online material is aimed to snag both of them, so one ends up getting screwed. If you're working out hard (read: not just weights) at least once a day, 6 days a week, you need more carbs than just some gatorade right after you finish.
