Today we have a question from Craig.

Craig asked, “When is the best time to eat carbs?”

Great question Craig, thanks for asking.

There are a few times of day which are more beneficial when it comes to consuming carbs.
The main one is after a training session. This is because after you have trained you are more sensitive to the hormone insulin. This means that your body will be more likely to store the energy from the carbs as glycogen within your muscles, rather than storing it as body fat.

It is important to choose the right type of carbs to eat after training. Biscuits and chocolate are considered carbs; however, they affect your blood sugar levels in a more dramatic way than if you were to eat sweet potato or quinoa.

If you want biscuits, chocolate or sweets, it is best to save those for a planned metabolic reset meal, rather than after training.

When you consume such carbs, the sugar is released into your bloodstream very quickly. These types of carbs are called simple carbs, as they are broken down very quickly. Your blood sugar levels need to be kept within a certain range, so as soon as simple carbs are released into your bloodstream, insulin starts storing it as fat.

Carbs which you should consume after training include: long grain rice, sweet potato and quinoa. These carbs are called complex carbs as they have a longer digestion process and this leads to a slower release of sugar into the blood, a smaller blood sugar spike, less insulin produced and therefore a lower chance of fat storage.

Stick to those healthy carbs after training, and around 50 grams of them for the best results!

This is Nathan from the DVCC; have a healthy day.
