PWO while on lower carbs....and durning workouts
I'm only consuming about 80g of carbs a day right now, and I try to balance when I eat them to cordinate with my events through the day.
I'm always really wore out when it's time to go to the gym though.
I'm sure as far as glycogen storage in my muscle....is about none by the time I get to the gym in the evening.
Lower carbs, morning cardio, working all day......so the tank is empty.
It only takes 3 minutes for simple sugars to convert to glycogen in your body so I've been drinking a pop BEFORE and DURNING my work out.
It makes the training easier, and more intense. it works out to be about 48 carbs so would be just over 200 calories from sugar, which I have to burn off during the work out.
I drink my PWO nutrition shake after, but I make it with lower carbs now also.
Anyone see anything seriously wrong with it? I'm just using the simple sugars durning the work out...instead of after.

This thread would fit better in the diet forum but no, I don't see anything wrong with it. Simple carbs during your workouts aren't bad, and some would even say beneficial by providing a sustained insulin release and anti catabolic effect.

How come not a Gatorade or something along those lines?

That's what I use to do also, I use to mix a drink for work out and PWO.
I do the same now, but my carbs are pretty low right now.
I do a can of coke while working out because the liquid sugar is just so simple, it gets in your blood stream fast, instant glycogen basicly. From what I understand it takes under 3 minutes for your body to convert this to energy.
It's 39 grams of sugar, so about 160 calories which I burn in about 20 minutes of lifting if my heart rate stays around 140.
After, I eat only about 30grams of complex carbs and 66 grams of protein.
Then for my last meal, broccoli is my only carb source.

Whole wheat flour, then just rye whole grains I believe.
I've always been under the impression that whole wheat flour was a little more complex though. I'm not sure where it ranks on the charts.
I've always figured if it's a solid heavy loaf, with grains, and whole wheat flour it's fine in some moderation.
I'm still only consuming 28grams of those carbs in a mid day meal, even if they are not as complex as yams or brown rice, in the middle part of the day while i'm active it should be fine.

gluten for one......
and unless i'm mistaken wheats are higher glycemic than brown rice or oats....and the quality is much less

As charted on glycemic index:
Multi Grain Bread 48
Oats 48
Yams 51
I'm not sure what values brown rice has. But your whole wheat protein enriched pastas are the slowest burning I've found also.

About once a week I have a meal with higher carbs, a good cheat meal.
I always hate it though, hard to go back to eating none after remembering how good they taste. It's like starting from day one.
With 600mgs of EQ a week too, it's hard to follow any form of diet. you just want to eat.
