MM - Missing the boat witrh me I think......why would I or we want to limit carbs now during bulking? Makes little sense to me....I guess I never knew anyone truly carb sensative, but it's more about overall cals than anything else......brown rice, oats, pasta....all staples!
yea, its fine letme try to explain...
I EAT a decent amount of carbs. If its early enough...... (after 5pm is too late for me to consume hugge amounts of carbs, i have learned i am very carb sensitive and night/carbs dont mix.)
But i know alot of people will say "where does your energy come from"...Simple...before i go workout, i have a can of tuna & handfull of peanuts.....
The FAT will help with my energy levels....and protein will always be building mass......
FAT, is i believe dont quote me on this, your bodies BEST energy source. Now Carbs are the bodies EASIEST energy source.....(IF IM WRONG HERE SOMEONE PLEASE SET UP)...
Fat = 9 calories per gram
Carbs = 4 cals
protein = 4 cals
So if you do have a decent amount of FAT ready to go (being digested) your body, or my body atleast, has had decents amoutns of energy...
I HAVE had OATMEAL preworkout.
i HAVE had potato preworkout...
and honestly the peanuts i feel the same amount of a "boost"....
Jkurz, i know its calories in vs cals out right? BUT INSULIN PLAYS A HUGE ROLE IN HOW FOOD IS STORED....
Lets say....
you have
whole wheat + tuna
now the bread will spike insulin, but not too much because it is whole wheat and there is also a protein source too so the insuline spike is not TOO much
now lets say I have...
Tuna + Peanuts....
now, there is virtually NO Insuline Spike....Meaning My body wont have to adjust my insulin levels and all that nonsense, and will go straight to digesting food which burns calories....
Yes your choice would burn calories as well while digesting, but your body main goal at that moment would be to "regulate" your insuline levels...and in turn some of that carbs which got turned into glucose might be stored as unwanted fat.....
i hope this kinda helps ya...
but remember this is from expierience...and some technical knowlege...but mostly how my body acts...
If i have pizza i blow up, my face gets rounder, etc...just from one slize...because im so damn sensitive
