Carb Timing Still Matters for Building Muscle
Some say carbs before and after workouts make a huge difference others say total daily intake is what counts What’s your experience
Re: Carb Timing Still Matters for Building Muscle
I think total carbs matter more than timing As long as I hit my daily macros I don’t notice much difference in gains or energy

For me carbs before workouts make a big difference If I train low on carbs my strength drops fast I always eat a carb heavy meal about 90 minutes before lifting

I’ve tried both ways when I timed carbs around my workout I felt more energized and recovered quicker But when bulking total intake was way more important

I think it depends on the person Some people feel better training fasted others need carbs for fuel I just go by how my body feels that day

Pre and post carbs help with performance and recovery especially if you’re training hard I keep them lower the rest of the day though

I used to stress about carb timing but honestly once I started tracking my total calories and protein results didn’t change much Timing is just a small bonus

Carbs before and after workouts just make me feel stronger and fuller Even if it’s mental I’ll take it better pumps and better workouts

Re: Carb Timing Still Matters for Building Muscle
If you’re training more than once a day or doing long sessions timing helps But for most of us hitting the gym once daily total carbs are what matter most
