When dieting when is the best time to take in carbs?

[John89231]

When cutting weight, obviously you want to be calorie defciet and high protein. But when is the best time to get those few carbs in? Pre and post workout? Breakfeast? Before bed? I'm not carb cycling or anything just trying to get a general idea.

Breakfast an post work out

Morning a complex carb like oatmeal and pwo a more simple carb like potatoe or rice IMO

It also depends on how many carbs you are eating per day. If around 100 then split half in the morning and the other half post workout. If eating more than 100 then split into more meals with a larger portion going twords breakfast and postworkout

Ok thanks guys, do I need carbs pre workout to have a good workout or just post workout to refuel?

it really depends on your needs, how many calories are you burning during the day and when are you working out.... But what I posted works for me... Comes down to calories in and calories out...
