does your post workout simple carb count as part of your daily carb intake for the diet you are on???

ok so im having about 90g of dextrose after a workout so this can go towards my total daily carbs being around 150g including the dextrose!!! can you explain y it would count as part of the daily carb intake because ive heard it does and also it doesnt!!!

[SwoleCat]

You have to consider WHAT plan you are referring to.

That is a tell tale indicator.

I mean, what you eat, no matter what time of day nor what it is, HAS to count towards your totals. I mean, if you eat it, it counts!

As well, what is your 150 figure for? Includes what? Etc. See what I mean?

my carbs include 1/2 oatmeal in the morning, dextrose imediately after workout and medium sweet potatoe about an hour after my workout??? does this sound good?

Again, it's dependent upon your goals/weight/bodyfat/program being implemented/cardio/training/etc.

I can't label it "good" nor "bad", that just not possible.
