Carbs and insulin window

[KingOfSushi]

Assuming one’s diet is 500g of carbs, is there a reason not to use nearly all the carbs in the windows of insulin? For example I am using rapid acting novorapid pre and post currently.

My current diet is

M1 - 50g
M2 (pre) - 150g
Intra - 50g
M3(post) -150g
M4 - 50g
M5 - 25g
M6 - 25g

Would I be better off taking those carbs from m5 and m6 and adding them to my window of insulin use?

You can only stuff so many carbs into muscle and liver tissue until they are full. So it depends on fat free mass, amount of glycogen depletion during the workout, etc

Anymore after that and they will be converted to fat via de novo lipogensis.

Dude you hardly have any carbs at 5 & 6 and you have plenty of carbs around your workout. If anything, I would up the carbs at 5 & 6. Your body is building muscle 24/7, not just during your slin window.
