Are simple carbs fats?

[JustJacked]

Ok, so this probably explains why I can't move up in my weight training. I haven't been able to move up in my lifting in like 6 months. I haven't take carbs post workout yet. I guess I will start. I just ordered 50% Malto 50% dextro from trueprotein.com. Would this be good to take with my whey shake post workout?? But I'm worried I'll gain fat if I eat this many carbs.

You wont gain fat if you eat carbs after training. trust me, your body needs it. Get a creatine product that has dextrose in it. My creatine has 45g of dextrose in it and I take it immediatly after workout.

Depending on your bodyweight shoot for 60-100g of simple carbs after training.

I can't get a creatine product. I already bought some CEE. So I am about to take that. So I will just take my whey shake then take my malto/dextro mix with some water.

Will me now taking carbs, finally get me over the hump, so I can move up in my weights.

Simple carbs after training is a nessecity for building mass and strength. Take about 60g of dex with your post workout shake.

After morning cardio I've been having oatmeal with honey and bananas, lately. I figured the honey would quickly replenish my glycogen. If that doesn't do it the fructose should. Then the oats are complex carb. After that I'll mix-up some protein powder. Anything jump out as a body building no-no? Made sense to me but a second opinion couldn't hurt.

Sounds pretty good to me. I wouldnt eat for about half hour after cardio because your body is still burning fat as energy during this period. If you restocked your glycogen stores right away then your body would just use that as energy instead of your bodyfat.

One thing people do wrong is not eating a big breakfast. You should take in at least 25% of your total daily calories at breakfast. Especially if your doing morning cardio.

Cool. I usually wait a little bit before eating.

Why do you suggest eating 50% of your carbs at breakfast if cutting?

When you wake up after a long sleep your body has drained its glycogen stores and your cortisol levels are high. In order to lower your cortisol levels to normal you have to replenish your glycogen stores. When cutting there are two times per day when you NEED carbs. In the morning and after training.

YES

And as said above, it is SILLY to take in those carbs pre-cardio - unless, of course, you are training for a marathon.

Everytime Daisy quotes me I get the shimmies... DAMN, it feels good to be me...

The need for carbs should be 4:1 protein carb ratio post workout. Basically not that muc his needed.

It actually depends on wether you are bulking or cutting (ratios will vary on this). I am not a big fan of absolute truths. Ultimately it will depend on what works for the particular individual, formulas should be used only as a starting point.

And don't get me wronf Gj, I respect your opinion and I have read the boards enough to know you know your shit, so peace.
