Balanced Meals Post Workout vs Fat Free meals

[Jm88888]

Hi guys
Looking for some opinions about eating a balanced meal post workout vs a fat free carb and protein meal. Right now I am eating around 3500 calories a day and slowly gaining, while maintaining body composition. My post workout meal on week days in evening is 45g carbs, 42g protein, 14g fat (plus 1 gram fish oil).
Would I be better off dividing that 14 grams of fat among my 5 other meals, and just eat the carbs and protein post w/o?
Weekends my post workout meal is my second meal and it is 75g carbs 35g protein 17g fat (2g CLA and 1g Fish oil) Same question here, do I avoid the fat at this time.

I know it’s probably splitting hairs, but looking for your guys opinion....

Thanks

Just stick with a normal meal post workout.

There is no reason to limit fat post workout, it won't impair recovery or glycogen replenishment or anything like that.

Reason I ask is because fat does blunt the insulin response to a meal... So I would imagine there would be some benefit to cutting fats out of that one meal... I Appreciate your feedback.

If you are lifting, insulin is increased for several hours. Eat a normal meal.

The more common response to strength training is an increase in insulin sensitivity (Fujitani et al., 1998; Miller et al, 1984), and brand new data show even the acute effect from a single bout lasts for over 24 hours (Koopman et al., 2005). So while we'll have an enhanced whole body insulin sensitivity following resistance training, this effect is even greater for 24 hours following exercise!

Cut the carbs (not completely) and up your fat intake
