The 30 minute window "defined"

[Twist]

what if you want weight loss? then what

It's not as important but it is still a good idea to eat something. Just don't worry too much about it.

I am sure this has been answered a million times already....but after cardio within that "30 minute window"....then what is best for losing BF and not bulking? protein or carbs?

When looking to loose BF, you have 3 optimum times to ingest ur carbs

Breakfast
Pre Workout
Post Workout

(Also simple carbs durring weight training to prevent cortisol release)


As far as ur question I would take in both Carbs and Protein PWO/Post Cardio


Some will say no carbs after cardio to extend the time that your body is running on stored BF.

TBH I dont buy into it, but would love to read and learn if anyone can link me to an artice on it.

I am/was one of these people, but am recently changing my views on this. The fact of the matter is you primarily burn fat while you're doing cardio (not like muscle building where you actually grow while you sleep and not while actually working the muscle). I do still think eating carbs hinders the 'afterburn' somewhat, but not a huge deal, especially when those carbs are complex.

Im could argue a convincing side to both situations

And thats wher I stand with the issue of no carbs PWO
