DailyTiming of Carbs?

[mtgbiker]

As a general rule ....Bulking or Cutting

Is it wise to consume the majority of carbs during your morning and early afternoon meals then taper down to 0 carbs for the last 2 meals at say 6 and 9 pm?

For instance:

7am - 30 % daily carb intake
7:30-8:30am - Work Out
10am - 25% " "
1pm - 25% " "
4pm - 25% " "
7pm - 0%
9pm - 0%

exactly carbs are great fuel but with too much and not enough activity they are stored as fat. Eat higher carbs earlier in the day and before your workout. After your workout consume mainly protein and fats--light on the carbs.

Thanks HG!

I have been eating mostly equal grams of carbs per meal. Like 225 grams total by 7 meals. So like 32 grams per meal.
I'm basing this on lean mass of like 200lbs or 2.5gr/kg .

I heard this before too. i am eating about 110g carbs, dieting down. i wake around 9am do cardio, then eat 1/2 oats - 27g, then ill have another meal with 1/2 oats, BUT my post workout is 10 egg whites and 1 CUP OATS - 54g. i thought post workout should contain more carbs or at least have some to recover, no?

i just have carbs morning, pre-workout and post-workout. also, do you consume fat with the protein and light carbs? like a TBSP of udo's choice with my post-workout meal?

The key is getting just enough carbs, and not exceeding that threshold where you're bod can stay in moderate ketosis. Light complex carbs in the morning, simple carbs post workout - and that's it!!.

For me when cutting I only take in about 30g simple carbs post workout. About 50g complex in the morning right after cardio. Thats it. Then every 5th day when I start to roll off and feel i've hit bottom I eat about 300g complex carbs (mainly brown rice and oats) to refuel the glycogen stores. Then back to the 4 day low carb cycle. Some need more carbs to keep the muscle balance right, but I have found that my body really has to have low carbs to drop those last % on my lower back and glutes and quads. Take fiber supplements and at least 10g EFAs every day as well.

Buy some keto stix from the pharmacy. Make sure your hitting light purple in your urine tests. For me thats perfect to maintain muscle and lose the fat.

hi all!

so what kind of food do you suggest troughout the day?
what do you eat?

Creeps,

Off Season sample of food eaten. I stay completely away from simple sugar foods like cake and deserts.

Proteins include: Chicken, lean red meat, broiled fish, cottage cheese, natural PB, beans, soy based products and maybe 1 protein shake eod. I usually eat solids for most of my protein intake.

Carbs include: Oatmeal, wheat meal w/flax, apples,pears, pinapple only in morning, soy products, almost all green veggies except peas. New potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown rice, 1-2 pieces of whole wheat bread eod.

Even in the off season, I try to eat very clean and watch sodium. Of course....I drink water out the ass.

Since posting my original question, I have cut all carbs the last 2-3 meals in the day and can feel a differance already....I think it's good to shock the body once in a while.
