No carbs after pre-workout meal

[Memo]

I was wondering if cutting all carb after pre-workout meal was a bad idea.

I eat cabs all day about 30-40g for my first 4 meals
my pre-workout meal usually is more carbs. Potato rice and apples dipped in coconut oil with steak or fish.

I was wondering if I avoid carbs for meal 6-7. my recuperation would suffer.

For the last 3 weeks my post workout meal was about 1000 calories. about 200 coming from carbs but my belly fat has increased a bit, I am looking to start my summer cut at a very slow pace right now without changing too much not changing too much.

My post workout meals would now be
gym 7-8pm
post workout shake 60g of protein powder in water
6: 200g of salmon 22o calories, 2 tbs of coconut oil and lemon juice
7: piece of steak with a bit of ketchup or hamburger without bun about 8z of cooked red meat
bed 10pm

This would be only on monday-wednesday-friday for weight training day. I would eat carbs after BJJ training session tuesday-thursday-saturday. Maybe cut carbs at 6pm on sunday.

Am I in the wrong direction for weight loss without loosing performance. Thanx

I am 25, 173lbs 5'4, 10%bf, I will soon start a cycle 225mg/week teste and 375mg/week deca.

i find that cutting carbs after training greatly affects recouperation, even when i diet i eat carbs post work out in the form of waxy maize. I find it makes a huge diffrence compared to just protein. Especially with mma and jits, if i dont get my carbs after i definetly feel it the next day. For me personnaly i know this makes a huge diffrence, my body hates me if i miss my waxy maize.

Im no diet guru but i would definitly not skip carbs post workout. At least fast carbs like dextrose or waxy maize in your protein shake. I would not go to sleep without some solid carb tho even while dieting. The muscle your breaking down needs to get feed overnight to optimize growth. Id for sure add in some dextrose for a quick insulin spike after the workout and maybe a small amount like say 150g of slow carbs to feed ya all night. Best would be oats, or potatoes, or brown rice.

So 50g of dextrose with post workout shake, 150g of potato or rice with last meal.

I will try this for 30 days see how it goes

i dont know about you but if i ate 150g carbs before bed, i would get fat. i would stick to 40-60 gams waxy maize or dex after workout and 40 - 60 grams slow digesting carbs in the next meal.

You might be right, What I will be doing in the next month is eating the same amount everyday and monitoring closely my weight and bf%, Reevaluate in 30 days if I should lower or increase.

nonono im sorry for the misunderstanding....I mean carbs that weigh 150grams on the scale (2 cups rice,or 150g potatoes,or 1 cup oats)....not 150g carbs. Sorry about that. It works out to about 60ish carbs depending on the carb you choose. Sorry i weigh my food so i go by grams and ounces not actual pro, crab, fat g.

Ok, Thanx for clarification. I don't weight my food, but follow food label to calculate my daily macro.

I'd keep in the majority of your carbs focused around your workouts then...pre and post....keep the rest lower and last meal none.

Yup.

there is no doubt at all that one is most glucose tolerant after an intense training session, even more so than in the AM... a study done with diabetics showed that after exercise they had glucose tolerance comparable to that or a normal person which is quite phenomenal!

I'm with Johnny in that if you want to concentrate ur carb intake at one point during the day it should be pre workout, during your workout and immediately pwo... on off days u can keep some in the AM and then drop it off later in the day
