carbs vs protein
As Cortisol levels increase during excersize more and more protein becomes used for glucose and less and less glycogen. For protein to be used though it has to be stripped of its amino acids making it worthless as a protein. I would say eat carbs 1-2 hours pre workout so that glycogen levels are raised and u save urself some protein for AFTER the workout. I mean really why eat a ton of protein if ur just gonna burn it as glucose when u can more effectivly use uhh i dunno glucose? Carbs dont "spike your inuslin every time u eat them" If you eat oats whole grains fiber it wont spike but it will actually stay steady and realease the carbs slowly allowing u to save glycogen for workout out and then allowing u to save protein for building more muscle. In this way carbs are very anabolic.
