Carbs in Meal before workout??
Question: I eat breakfast in the morning right before i go to lift weights.. What's a reasonable amount of carbs that i should take in before i lift??
Also, after my lift i dont have time to make a meal before i go to school, so is taking a Protein bar with 33g of carbs and 30 g protein ok to take, to fill in for my missed meal after my workout?? I will also take 1 scoop of whey to add 20g after my workout to give 50g protein after my lift?? Is this a reasonable diet, and how many carbs before i lift should i take in in my meal??
Answers: good job! finally someone with enough sense to eat before they weight train in the morning.
how many carbs you need really depends on how long your training session is going to last. you don't wan to perform high intensity exercise for longer than 1.5 hours or the levels of catabolic hormones will increase drastically.
you really want to ingest at least 5 grams of carbs for every set that you are going to perform.
I would also 86 the protein bar after working out for some whey protein and fat free milk. whey protein is far cheaper per serving and will supply a lot more bioavailable protein for recovery.
another thing you should do is to try to eat at least a snack 1 hr after your post workout shake. since you are young and in school I would suggest taking something easy to make and carry like a PB and jelly sandwich. that should hold you over until lunch.
You are taking in more protein than you should be! You should get 30 to 45g of carbs in EVERY MEAL. You should get no more than 25g of protein in each meal. When you cut carbs and add protein you cause your kidneys a lot of distress. This distress is added to by weight lifting and exercising because your kidneys then have the extra burden of filtering lactic acid from the blood stream, etc. I suggest you speak with a physician about this.
With or without exercise-
optimum protein,low fat, low sugar, low carbohydrate,low salt nutrition-
for losing weight- replace two meals with the above said nutrition
program and having one meal of your choice, plus water one liter for every 44lbs for desired results.and do maintenance for the equal period of weight loss
for maintaining weight- have once the above mentioned nutrition program and two meals of your choice,plus water -one liter for every 44lbs of body weight.
Male=1 =1kg=2.2lbs
women 1 =800gms=1.76lbs standard weight
now You can work out your possibilities
Fat% Men 16% and women 26%
Men 2000-2200 calories, women 1500-1800 calories(intake
ok i have been to ALOT of dietary nutritionalists...
protein is good to build muscle... its a better energy than carbs... and hunny up there has it wrong... you should get about 30-60 grams of carbs A DAY
if you want to loose inches(never say weight)
carbs is an energy supply... if you want to tone up and loose some of that fat on top of your muscle you need to cut out as much carbs as possible... you want to use the STORED energy not the energy that you just put in... or you will never loose that little bit
when something is high in carbs... see if it is high in fiber too becuase if its high in fiber it will go right through you and the carbs wont have that much of a chance to grab on and store as fat
okay I have read and heard many different things, but I would suggest that you skip the meal before you workout, and do a protein shake and a meal after your workout. Also if you are trying to build muscle you need 1-1.5 grams of protein for every pound you weigh. so if you are a 170 lb man you need anywhere from 170-255 grams of protein per day. If you eat meat through out the day then I would stay on the lower side of those numbers, but of you are like me and don't have time I would go with the higher protein. Also take a multi-vitamins, and try to eat something every 3-4 hours, because you have to feed your muscles in order fo them to grow and get stronger. Also a good tip for your workouts is to do all major muscle groups first, then work on the smaller muscles. So for instance bench press first, then work on biceps and triceps, because what happens is people do the smaller muscles first to get them out of the way and by the time they get to the bigger muscles and they want to do squats or heavy lifting they have already fatigued those supporting smaller muscles so you can not lift nearly as well or as much as you would if you did these muscles first. Good luck!! oh and to answer your carb question, you need lots of carbs, lots of protein, and lots of fiber to build muscle, and no cardio unless you want to get cut.....then you need low carbs, low fat, high protein, lots of cardio, and still lifting. sorry so long!
