You do need your carbs, but timing is important. Wholewheat/multigrain bread for turkey sandwich for lunch or morning toast is OK. Oatmeal is also good. The key is to consume the bulk of the carbs early in the day. I'll even have half a sweet potato with dinner, sometimes, if I eat dinner early. If I eat pasta for dinner, I make sure it's an early dinner. Sometimes on a non-gym day, I'll give in to my pasta craving, but I'll eat at 5 or 6 and make sure I go for a 30 minute walk that evening. If I'm getting a bad sweet tooth, I'll have a cookie at lunch on a gym day or on the weekend have pancakes for breakfast. Of course if I do this, I make sure I at least take a 30 minute, fast walk at some point to help burn off the excess. I'm a former chef, so this crap is really hard for me and I'm bound to screw up once every two weeks or so, but if I stick to the general principles, it works pretty well.
Well Bilbs, during the boxing season I walk around very skinny.
In the time I have off I actually am far more muscular and bigger, as I said this compensates increased body fat whilst still looking flattering.
The reason tarver and many boxers have very loose chest muscles is that many boxers refuse to work their pecs as in doing so they would limit their flexibility and punch output would be altered.
