Dr. Robert Zembroski explains the optimal times to eat carbohydrates around your workout.
For example, Dr. Zembroski highlights that it is actually beneficial to eat some carbohydrates before a cardio or endurance workout. He explains. “To build lean muscle, fuel yourself with roughly 40-50 grams of carbs (1/4-1/2 cup of steel cut oats) 1-1.5 hours before the workout. By doing so, you have immediate fuel and energy, as you retain your glycogen stores and increase muscle growth and retention.”
