I will have a pre workout meal, then another pro/carb shake right before the workout and all the way through it. So if the protein and carbs from whey/dex mix is available in about 20 minutes or so... wouldn't that be used for what happens while and after workout? Instead of extra carbs I ate hours ago?

I am just trying to understand why such high amounts of carbs in the middle of the day when I am not doing crap and still have my intakes taken care of later before and after the lifting time.
Since you still want to keep carbs lower early on in the day, I'd stay around 40g in those meals.

The topic of drinking a shake during a workout or even remotely close to it is controversial... Some say that it is an inhibitor to drink a shake while working out because it forces more energy and blood into your digestive system to be used for digestion, otherwise this energy and blood would be put towards muscle replenishment... Others say it makes no difference... You can decide which side of the topic you agree with, but personally, I lean towards the side saying it's an inhibitor, jmo... If you build up an excess supply of carbs throughout the day, then when it comes time for your workout, you do not need to be refueling during your workout... The PWO whey/dex shake replenishes glycogen stores that are utilized during your workout, but if those stores are at capacity before you workout, then the likelihood of then being totally depleted is small...

Does this make sense?
