when you are trying to lose fat do you still eat carbs after cardio to replenish muscle glygogen?
just want opinions, not the typical. "calories in, calories out is all that matters" or the " you dont need to cut carbs to lose weigth"
i know the big picture, just having a hard time with planning my meals after cardio.
IMO the most important thing after cardio is water intake. Im never hungru anyway after cardio so I dont eat for 2-3 hours after.
It just doesn't matter as daily nutrition is what determines the diet's contribution to bodyweight and composition.

actually it does, post cardio growth hormone is still high and introducing carbs would up the slin and decrease the growth hormone which is a fat burning agent

I presume you're joking, but sometimes it really hard to tell.
I don't bother, I just get my macros and that's it, don't really think about pre and post workout nutrition any more.

well you're pretty lean so i'm going to assume you do cardio.

I don't do cardio, but if I did it wouldn't alter the macronutrient composition of my diet and it wouldn't alter the timing of my intake, which is simply based on hunger and convenience.
Getting "lean" is a function of total caloric intake and macronutrient sufficiency. It's not a function of meal timing or specific macronutrient partitioning.
Lastly, cardio is not required for fat loss. Rather, it simply increases TDEE and hunger.

You don't need to do cardio to stay that lean. Calories in vs calories out

lmao. thanks man appreciate it.

Growth hormone begins to drop after exercise ceases at about the same rate regardless of what you eat.
See "Acute regulation of IGF-I by alterations in post-exercise macronutrients" Pascoe et al. 2011.
Well you could sprint/jog a mile after your lift to help stay lean. I think carbs might be important as you dump all your energy after your lift. And you prolly alrdy know intaking wht carbs will spike that insulin and flood the protien in.

is this srs?
Edit: brb getting "big and lean" so that my credible advice is justified!

It works for me.
I ate oats after cardio today
Have my efforts been in vain?

Why don't more people understand the difference between correlation and causation. It's not complicated. Really, it's not.
[QUOTE=DOC_M;693467471]help me out man. you big and look lean. what you eat after cardio and why?[/QUOTE]
It doesn't matter as long as you get your calories and macros in at the end of the day
[QUOTE=DOC_M;693467471]help me out man. you big and look lean. what you eat after cardio and why?[/QUOTE]
vegetables,eggs,chicken,rice,turkey because im hungry

Agreed, sir.

thats amazing that your lean and dont do any cardio, you must have your nutrition down pack. however i'm currently in the military so i need to do cardio. but it is nice to know i dont need it to get lean.

I think what you keep missing is the simple fact that caloric balance is the determinant of bodyweight and that micro/macronutrient sufficiency impacts body composition.
Cardio simply increases TDEE and it does not, in and by itself, induce leanness.

what do you mean by micro/macronutrient sufficiency? how do i calculate this for myself?
and what is TDEE?
sorry for all the questions?
i'm goin to add you to my friends so i can keep you posted on my progress if you dont mind.
