    Carbs before or AFTER lifting...

    Ok, so could somebody give me a basic nutrition lesson! I dont know what I should eat pre and post workout other than protein! I have heard no carbs after, but others tell me different!

    Help me out!

    If all you do is lift, I'd suggest placing them before as I think this pre-WO nutrition would be more optimal. I'm not saying that your PWO nutrition and carbs wouldn't matter, but if you are JUST lifting, unless your sessions last 2-3hrs, you're probably not going to deplete your glycogen stores.

    I like to have them all before. Meaning, if I eat 300g of carbs per day, I will most likely eat 250g BEFORE I lift/run, then drink a simple protein shake afterward (maybe with milk) and have a giant steak dinner with veggies or something of the sort. I dunno, I'd rather get a pump on in the gym I suppose lol.

    Plus, at night, (when I'm idle) and eat carbs, I get extremely hungry (ravenous like - think "mad wolf" hahaha) and want to eat everything in sight. I dunno if it has to do with blood sugars levels or if my head is not screwed on right, but either way, do what tastes best.

    Listen to this guy^^ he hit the nail on the head....... And if you are going to do cardio, do it after lifting, for two reasons
    1. You won't be too tired to lift and risk muscle loss
    2. Lifting should have depleted most of the complex carbs you ate before lifting, so you will be burning a lot more fat.

    Also, if you are going to lift and do cardio, increase your post-workout carbs, because adding the cardio to your normal routine will burn up your muscle glycogen much more rapidly, don't worry about those carbs being stored as fat, most of them will be going straight to your starving muscles

    But like Determined stated earlier, don't over think it. Use carbs as a source of energy, and as thus, if you are feeling drained, I'd up the carbs.

    If I were to brick my workouts like that w/ weights and cycling, I'd lift first. But mostly because I would probably have more energy and be going into the session fresh and not beat down.

    Although I have read that having a weight lift session in the morning followed by cycling training in the afternoon will lead to an increased peak power output, so this could possibily carry over to your form of cardio. Suppose this would just have to do w/ a larger uptake of muscle fibers.

    Wrong on so many levels. Don't come to a thread preaching **** you don't have a clue about as if it is the be all end all. The first thing you need to realize is that assuming a proper pre workout meal was consumed it should still be digesting by the end of your workout.

    Don't make wisconsin look bad, we already get a bad rep sometimes.

    Cardio and weight training can be a huge topic for debate, but I have a few opinions on it.

    1. Unless your competing in a cardio based sport large amounts of it arent needed for losing body fat.

    2. I personally prefer to do cardio after a workout if its substanial just so I can lift at my peak without being too tired.

    3. As far as carbs are concerned in relation to caridio heres what I think. So in a "worst case scenario" you have a really long workout, a really long cardio session, and you perform glycogen depleting exercises. So now at the end of your workout your very glycogen depleted. Still no biggy. Our bodies can still reglyconate within the next 24 hours before our next workout. If you have another training session/event coming up that day, well then thats a whole different story.


    So I still firmly believe that carbs pre-workout are the optimal choice, but they are just fine post workout too. Reason why should be clear above.

    Personally I eat them at both times usually, but I don't place a huge urgency on the post workout. Hell today after my workout I'll have a small protein shake and then wont eat for 3-4 hours. Why? Because it doesn't matter.

    My philosophy:

    - protein and a little carbs (100 calories of juice or whatever) with preworkout meal
    - 100 to 150 calories of carbs (maltodextrin) that are slower than processed sugars while working out to keep energy high without spikes.
    - fast cardio for up to 20 minutes to get fluid flowing and mood to kick a$$
    - hard lifting for 1 hour after cardio
    - fast sugar and fast protein PWO

    Whats with the either or mentality on here recently? Carbs and protein to fuel, carbs and protein to recover. Add fat wherever you want

    2. Lifting should have depleted most of the complex carbs you ate before lifting, so you will be burning a lot more fat.

    Also, if you are going to lift and do cardio, increase your post-workout carbs, because adding the cardio to your normal routine will burn up your muscle glycogen much more rapidly, don't worry about those carbs being stored as fat, most of them will be going straight to your starving muscles
    yeah but he didn't he the nail on the head, that's the thing. It's way more complex and there are many factors. You won't lose muscle in the course of a day for a smaller Pre or postworkout meal. And your second statement just shows lack of knowledge of the human body, not that i know everything, but i know that statement is false.

    Don't make wisconsin look bad, we already get a bad rep sometimes.

    I look at Wisconsin bad because of Brett Farve! it's where he is from i strongly dislike him lol...but love the cheese


    But does no one else prefer fats Preworkout?? I love a nice big salad with a variety of veges and some diced chicken or ham, some cheese, nuts, and Italian dressing. I Just find i workout better with the fats as energy, maybe because i workout 3hrs after i eat.

    Its best too eat carbs both before and after training. Rather than writing it out I'm just gunna paste my threat I wrote the other day.

    Effects of diet on muscle glycogen stores and endurance.
    In this experiment, six subjects maintained normal caloric intake for three days but consumed most calories as lipid and five percent or less as carbohydrate (high fat diet). In the second condition (normal diet), the three day diet contained the recommended daily percentages of carbohydrate, lipid and protein. The fird diet (high carbohydrate diet) provided eighty two percent of the calories as carbohydrates. the glycogen content of quadriceps femoris muscle, determined from needle biopsy specimens, averaged 0.63g of glycogen per 100g wet muscle with the high fat diet, 1.75g for the normal diet and 3.75g for the igh carbohydrate diet.

    Endurance capacity during cycling varied considerably, depending on what each person consumed 3 days before the exercise test. With the normal diet, exercise lasted an average of 114 minutes, whereas endurance averaged only 57 minutes with the high fat diet. The high carbohydrate diet improved endurance performance by more than three times the endurance on the high fat diet. Interestingly, the point of fatigue coincided with the same low level of muscle glycogen under the three diet conditions. This experiment demostrated conclusively the importance of muscle glycogen for sustaining high intensity exercise lasting more than an hour. The research emphasized the important role played by nutrition in establishing appropriate energy reserves for long term exercise and strenuous training.

    A carbohydrate deficient diet rapidly depletes muscle and liver glycogen and negatively affects performance in short term, anerobic exercise and prolonged high intensity earobic activities. These observations relate particularly to individuals who modify their diets by reducing carbohydrate intake below recommended levels. Reliance on starvation diets or other potentially harmful diets (e.g high fat, low carbohydrate diets, "liquid protein" diets, or water diets), proves counterproductive for weight control, exercise performance, optimal nutrition, and good health. Low carbohydrate diets make it difficult from an energy supply standpoint to participate regularly in vigorous, longer duration physical activities.

    I wrote this in a way I hope many of you will be able to understand. If anyone has any further questions message me and I will get back to you asap.

    You guys have no idea what you are talking about. Im completing a bachelors degree in athletic training and nutrition, and I have the textbook right in front of me that states what I just posted.

    It doesn't matter to me though, if you want you can listen to:
    the chunky randy dude who knows more about twinkies than about protein and carbs
    or the dimasso kid who looks like he weighs in at at grand total of 109 pounds....

    Both of them are obviously clueless.
