Post by Thomasvvcc »

Some say carbs before and after workouts make a huge difference others say total daily intake is what counts What’s your experience

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

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
