why does one crave sugar after a workout? what causes this? I would really appreciate a scientific answer with as much detail as you know. I figure it has something to do with the glycogen your muscles lose during the workout, but not really sure. I will rep for help with this. thanks guys.

If you haven't eating a high complex carbohydrate, yet balanced (some protein & some fat) feeding within at least 90 minutes (or whatever your body prefers) before working out and you don't drink sugar during your workout, your blood sugar will dip extra low.
It would looks something like 12 Noon on the following graph, since your body likes to remain in homeostasis your will crave the sugar that is missing in your body.
Again, to avoid this, I drink Gatorade during my workouts if I haven't eaten properly before... I'm not 100% sure but I think caffeine before your workout can mess w/ your blood sugar as well...Last edited by askthetrainer; 08-28-2009 at 03:06 PM.
