i too am pretty carb sensitive, so you think that if i place more after than before a workout i will avoid fat gain? wouldn't placing a bigger percentage before my workout be more beneficial for nutrient partitioning?
Thanks for the response dude
yea man, I think post WO is more important...
when you look at it biologically,
with the pre-WO meal you're just keeping your body nourished to prevent catabolism and providing energy for the workout.
but with your post-Workout, your glycogen stores have been used significantly (depending on how hard your workout was), your creatine has been used and your muscle cells have been damaged. As a result of natural adaptation, at this state your muscle cells are temporarily far more insulin sensitive and your testosterone levels are elevated temporarily too. So resources are gonna be used far more efficiently not just for repair but for super-compensation (in order to be prepared for such stress in the future)...
I personally don't use high GI carbs ever, but post-WO is when others tend to use dextrose etc. for recovery since the body will use it much more efficiently
