pre/post workout carb while carb cycling

[mexikaz]

on carb cycling do take in a high amount of carbs pre and pwo even if its a low carb day?4 example 1 scoop of why with some dextrose pre then 2 scoops of whey and somemore dextrose pwo.

i think it was a question, he maybe isn't as fluent in english as the rest of us.

on a carb cycling day, you dont normally take in high amounts of carbs post and pre workout, or else it would negate the whole idea of having a low/medium/high carb day.

if anything, take the amount of carbs you are allotting yourself (say 150 grams on your low day) and divide the number equally over the number of meals you are eating that day, so 150 grams of carbs over 6 meals is 25 grams of carb per meal.

if you want, you can forgo the last carb meal and subsititute natural peanut butter for the carb and use those carbs in your pre/post workout window, giving you and extra 25 grams at those times.

hope this helps.
