Now I must say that this is at the top of my list for a reason! A one-size-fits all recommendation such as this doesn’t factor in your activity levels, your body composition or your physique and performance goals.

You need to consider the most opportune time to ingest carbohydrates for maximum glycogen uptake into the muscle, ensuring you don’t store fat!

To say yes, it’s best to eat your carbs in the am or post workout isn’t good enough…

…Say you’re 15% and I’m 10% body fat, we both just worked out real hard, but you trained legs (large muscle group) for 60 minutes, and I trained biceps (small muscle group) for 35 minutes. Do we need the same amount of carbs?

For one, the absolute worst time to be ingesting carbs with fat is post workout! Insulin is a nutrient transporter, so why transport fat through the bloodstream when the muscle needs glycogen to be replenished?

With that being said, having high fat/carb meals in general is not a wise choice!

YES YOU CAN! And no, it doesn’t just require shoving a bunch of acidic, ammonia- producing proteins down your throat. Instead, you’ll be adjusting to a high fat intake and some other critical dietary changes.

Again – We factor many variables such as your goals, current body composition and workouts into the program before you start!
