POST workout fast carb! Which one or ones?

A lot of people do the whole high gi thing. to some it is like common knowledge. But I see no reason that you would ever want to spike your insulin or (when cutting) replenish your glycogen levels.

Bino do you think it is good to replenish them once you wake up? like shouldn't you just use the rest and depletion that the night sleep gave you as a tool to further keep your levels low? or is there something I am missing?

Well you will never fully replenish glycogen with one meal. It is why competitors load for 3 days going into a show. You are constantly breaking down glycogen to be used throughout the day; to maintain blood sugar, fuel your brain, make ATP etc.

But I suppose the question of eating carbs upon rising would depend on your training schedule that day. If you are cutting as you stated than I wouldnt if you are getting up to do cardio...if you are training in the a.m. than I would have carbs in my first meal , unless you had some in your last meal the night before to utilize during your workout and had a pro/fat meal in the a.m.

But unless I am in the late stages of cutting, I do usually advocate carbs in pre workout meal.

When people are in a higher bf (14+ IMO) I have been advocating carbs before workout (weight training) and after weight training (if no cardio) when on a low carb diet. my reasoning is that the carbs will be utilized for the weight training and muscle building almost exclusively. Is this good reasoning?
