So I feel like less and less people are talking about nutrition across every forum. And I have researched and pubmed everything I possibly could but when it comes to nutrition I'm out. So could the knowledgeable and experienced people please help me out on this.
I have read that our body is sensitive to carbs first thing in the morning so we don't want to put a lot of carbs in at that time(is this true? Because first thing in the morning our body is suppose to be in an anabolic state when when take in food).
I have also read that I do not want to take carbs before bed because the insulin spike messes with the GH release(but couldn't one look flat the next morning?). So the only times that I have left is around my workout. When should most carbs be taken in?
How much of my carbs intake should be pre and post workout?
Does taking in carbs during workout help any...if so how much? I know that when we are lifting our muscules takes up carbs without the help of insulin but that is only when we are in the process of lifting and not the resting period between the sets(this was in my nutrition book but idk if it helps bodybuilders any).
Sorry about the long post but I just want to get a good thread going covering carbs for during bulking, lean bulking, or cutting.
