Carb drink while working out?

[Tystick]

I am eating 50-100 grms Carbs before I work out, and drinking a carb drink while I work out. This was someones advice because my metabolism will burn up too many calories while working out. I have noticed it gave me a more sustained energy throughout my workout. Now I hope I have this right...dont you have to burn through all your current carbs and whatever else youve eaten before your body starts to use fat for energy? So I am thin and would like to gain weight but loose this fat I have covering my abs. It Seems like a oxymoron and probably cant be done .Does anyone have any suggestions? Cut the carbs, do more cardio, or use some sort of ECA stack while not in the gym.

I try to hit 3500-4000 cals. everyday ....600-800grms of Carbs 200-300grms of protein. I dont count fat but I try my best to limit my intake. I am 6'5" and 200lbs.

for every workout i make a bottle of squash mixed with 2-3 heaped teaspoons of glucose, 3 250mg vitamin b3 tabs, 1 tab 500mg vitamin C and maybe some glutamine...makes a great carb workout drink.

The question I really need answered is; If my body needs something to burn for energy, and I am drinking Carbs, whould I still be burning fat for energy or using the carbs from the drink?
