Before you get upset that this has been asked numerous times, I've been looking for a straight answer for some time and to no avail
Is pasta a good carb source an hour to half hour before a workout?
I'm not as familiar with the glycogen shuttling process as I should be so I can't comment but I remember people saying it might just make you feel tired
Thanks in advance for your time

Not for me. Pasta would probably make me puke during my workout.
Carb timing or meal timing is really up to you and your personal preference. Whatever timing for your own body and digestive system will be all up to you.
That being said, glycogen stores will be at its optimal level if you are sufficient calories on a daily basis. That being said, unless you're not eating for several days, you're fine.Retired 74kg PL Open Division (3 meets)

100% correct.
Remember, timing and frequency of meals is all subjective to you and everyone will have a different preferences.
Just remember that the #1 rule of thumb in nutrition is to hit your macros and micros on a daily basis, and that should attribute mostly to your results already.
That being said, arbitrary names of the food you consume does not attribute to your success. Thus saying you're eating pasta or pb sammich + banana doesn't really tell us if you're doing the above.Retired 74kg PL Open Division (3 meets)

My dad was a big bb in the 80's, before a lot of pwo's were available. Him and his lifting buddies used to boil a pot of pasta, stick the whole thing in a blender, and slam that before they'd workout. That and a large vat of black coffee, lol.
"The myth that women shouldn't lift heavy is only perpetuated by women who fear work and men who fear women."
