Carb Timing

**Biggaintime** · 05-28-2020, 03:25 PM

Here's how you carb time. Eat Fuck'n carbs all Damn day long. Problem solved. Eat protein with your carbs. Although some studies show thats not really important. I do every time. I will sometimes do Gatorade with iso before and after my work out. If you want to gain weight eat more if you want to lose weight eat less

Any type of protein or fat will turn a high glycemic carb into low. I always suggest protein, no matter what

If your in a deep cut and only getting 100g of carb a day, keep it around your workout. Possibly keep them all in pre workout to help with muscle break. Just need to experiment to see what works for you

I eat carbs ore and post workout. Other meals only veggies...maybe some pussy and ass.

It varies for me depending upon my goals. I generally have high carbs throughout the year though. Now everyone is different and some do well with higher fats or higher carbs. For me personally when growing I want to turn my body into a muscle building and fat burning machine. If things are done smartly you can get to a position were you are taking in a shitload of cals (and carbs) and are still relatively lean. It means you only have to lower slightly and the fat will drop off and it makes future dieting much easier. You should always want to start dieting on the most calories possible at a relatively lean body fat.

At my biggest I am taking carbs in most meals and it varies but the meals I tend to have more fats (and low or even no carbs) are my first and last meals. The rest of my meals are filled with carbs and the meals around my workouts have the most. Now if certain aids are used that can change things as well. Right now I have just added IGF-1 LR3 so I will be pushing the carbs in postworkout. I am talking 400g carbs in the few hours post workout. Now when dieting or just holding things are much different and I may have approx 80g carbs pre and post and a small amount (25g) in a intra shake with eaa's. There are definitely no set rules but for me I am usually over 500g carbs per day unless dieting. When taking in such an amount (calories in general) it's important to keep an eye on fasted blood glucose and insulin sensitivity is everything in bodybuilding. If your sensitivity is low it will have a massive impact on your gains especially when growing. I very rarely ever go below 200g carbs per day but I will if it's needed. Now this doesn't count possible mini cuts were I prefer to use low carbs or even keto for a very short time.

Right now I rotate carb sources but my mains ones in regards to carb grams are pineapple, red grapes, apples, rice, pasta, oats and hbcd's.

good advices i see here. yes insulin sensitivity is key so keeping periods of the day or month where carbs are out will ensure good sensitivity, carbs are amazing pre and post workout even without insulin, with even more ofcourse. they dont need to be overdone as body doesnt have unlimited capacity to store glycogen BUT high amounts (in the hundreds of grams) can be jammed in pre and post workout
