Carbs

Do you guys eat more carbs on training days than non training days? I'm asking from a bulking point of view

I keep mine the same.I consume my carbs in the first 3 meals of the day.

Yeah on non-training days I dont have a pre and post workout carb based meal

you can "cycle" your carbs when bulking so that off days are a little lower to try and keep body fat levels down,.

Thanks for the responses. Ok so on training says I have 4 carb meals (meal 1 - 100g Potatoes, pre-workout - 100g Oats, post-workout - 50g dextrose, about 1 hr post workout - 100g Oats) so for the non training would you suggest limiting that to the first 3 meals like VonD does, Meal 1: 100g Potatoes, Meal 2: 100g Oats, Meal 3: 100g Oats

Why only 100g potato in morning? It's only like 27g of carbs

Increase your potato to 200-250g.100g is not enough.

Ok I will increase to 200g, thanks iMan and VonD

You can also go for 100g Oats morning, 100g Oats Pre Workout and 200g Brown Rice an hour after your dextrose and whey.

if you want to avoid carbs late at night and you post w out shake is at say 20h30 then you should be having carbs + protien whole meal about an hour after thatlike AT 21H30, BUT you want to avoid carbs at night and especially just before sleeping so , the if you sleep at say 22h30 its an issue , what to do ?

Im in the same boat actually. What I am doing now is dividing the portion for in the afternoon and the other one an hour after post workout shake.

what do you mean iman ? what i am asking is you need carbs soon after training right but you shouldnt havecarbs at night . so what to do if you train at night ?

so what your are sayin is say your afternoon prtion is 400g carbs then you would split that into 200g at say 16h00 and 200g at say 21h30 an hour after p wout meal ?

yes that is what I mean. Not sure if it's correct

This is a load of bullshit about carbs not being had at night,u need carbs post work out for recovery end of story,so if its your last meal of the day or half way through the day or first thing in the morning,it doesn't matter aslong as it is within your daily calorie allowance...I have guys having their last 2 meals of the day with carbs. Its about carb timing,if its post work out and right before bed makes no difference as long as its post work out.

Thanks for clearing that up dj, it just I have herd plenty peeps say that no carbs after 4pm causr your metabolism slows down becuse body knows its going to sleep. So any carbs will go to fat storage instead of glycogen. I believe bro, don't stress, I just want to learn and understand why. I tols you that result I got from sticking to your diet was phenomiinal with regard to how little effort I put into training and concidering I diett at like 70 % capacity.

true story.. I once ate carbs after 6pm.. now i'm obese

I take it that this is your wit comming through chapel ... You don't look obease
