I really dont eat much differently PLing than I did when I trained for BBing... Most of the guys I train are very conscious of their weight as well because they want to be as competitive as they can... We have one guy on the team who competes at 181 but floats just under 200lbs much of the rest of the time... Works for him I guess, as hes ranked on the all time list in the top 20 (and won best lifter at worlds last year, submaster!) but I like to stay within 5-10 lbs of my goal weight...

it depends on a lot of things..... I can eat before I bench, but I can't really eat much before I squat or deadlift heavy. Always a shake and some fruit, sometimes a few eggs or peanut butter..... but that's it.

After workouts is where powerlifting and bodybuilding part ways. My post workout supplement is Golden Corral. Even the 198-ers eat close to that.....

Most guys on our team eat pretty much anything.. I hover around 192, and drop to 181 to compete.. Our 275er just totaled 2500 a few weeks ago..

Anything low carb for me.

what fed?

I was close to that mark in the APF but keep feeling like I could have ht it UPA or SPF with looser judging..... higher weight class though.....

I eat rice and meat because I want to feel good training or spaghetti something with carbs Powerlifting and low to no cabs is not Powerlifting you need the energy to train and the intensity calls for ENERGY. If it's morning it's a shake of Oats, milk and a casein powder with a little whey in it

I'm not the cleanest eater but pre I eat clean so I don't feel like shit.

I try to eat 2 hours prior because of this 1.5 at the soonest.

I have had bad Oat shake days because of drinking it too damn soon not good at all.

But I too have to keep it clean and I'm not a that clean of an eater but I hate feeling like food crap training.

Have you ever had pepperoni pizza prior it sucks sucks bad lol or some real spicy Mexican?

Honestly, I cannot eat too much...and have to do it probably 2 hours out. I would be puking or sitting on the toilet instead of training. But I like eggs, PB, and oats and stuff like that. I think the less sugar you intake the better. It jacks with your insulin levels and I seem to crash hard with sugary stuff.

Well excessive sugar intake creates and furthers metabolic syndrome. I have to disagree about low carb dieting not being applicable to powerlifting, a pure ketogenic diet, sure it can't be done successfully, but it can be done with CKD.

I've done a few meets where the only food available at the meet site was supreme pizza or greasy ass burgers.... I usually eat after squat and/or before deadlift..... it's brutal to be belching that up for the rest of the meet.....
