well youre undereating.. thats your major problem from the looks of it

Bro per what I've heard amongst creditable BB's, its really glycogen that you expend when you train into the pain zone and that a sugar product would be preferred post workout as opposed to protein drink as chances you have plenty of protein in yr system already. I personally drink scoop of sugared Gatorade post work out as I train intensely.

That being said, when I do my cardio early AM,(after ingesting small amt of protein), is this the time also to take a Gatorade immediately when done with cardio? Then wait 30 min and have full breakfast? Thanks!

what intensity and duration are you doing your cardio?

 

[The Survivor]

what intensity and duration are you doing your cardio?

80-85% for 20-25 min, 3 times a wk

 

[3J]

yea you dont need gatorade... you dont need post workout nutrition like that.. you should do that in a fasted state and just eat a good breakfast afterwords...

I just read this entire thread and wow 3J, you are for sure an asset to MC.

3J any truth to the belief you should wait at least 30 min after doing cardio for the "after burn" before eating allowing yr body to continue to burn fat even though yr cardio session is over?

it really matters to when you are doing cardio.. is it post workout???

also, the "afterburn" as you say lasts longer than 30 min... and whether or not you get food in doesn't matter.. it takes time to digest food unless its a fast acting protein like whey.. even with that it will take about 30 min to start digesting

I try to do cardio on near fasted state first thing in AM, then I wait 30-60 min then have breakfast, then wait at least hr, then train. Is this correct? thanks

 

[3J]

yes sir.. but i wouldn't do a nearly fasted state.. i would do it fasted... and i would do it low intensity, heart rate of 130-135

Question re the GI, I know low GI is 55 or less, but is a carb that comes in at say 25 any better than one at 55? Also John Parilloo states that eating protein with a carb will dampen the insulin spike, you you agree? thanks

he says that because of digestion time...

remember that if you were to eat pasta alone vs eating pasta with.. beef.. or olive oil.. for example.. there would be a big difference in GL...

fats will always slow down digestion..

So the slower you release insulin in yr body, the less your GI spike will be correct? Then yr body can utilize those carbs for muscle building?? Thanks 3J

 

[3J]

no thats not exactly correct... gi is gi, regardless of how slow you release it.. it affects GL... and spiking your insulin at times can be beneficial to muscle growth.. ask anyone who uses slin post workout lol
