191: What are the 3 Best Times to Eat Carbs? (make sure to hit #3)


Listen Later

Let's talk about the best times to enjoy some carbs throughout the day. When it comes to optimizing your carbohydrate intake, three key moments stand out. Firstly, the best time to consume carbohydrates is before your workout, as they provide a valuable energy boost to fuel your exercise session. Secondly, there's another ideal time later in the day, the third time to be precise, where you should incorporate carbs into your meal plan. Finally, having carbs at night can actually promote recovery, helping your body replenish glycogen levels and prepare for the next day. Interestingly, did you know that the brain is the heaviest user of glycogen in the body? Fascinating, right? So, when planning your meals, consider lighter carb options before and after your workout to optimize your performance and recovery.
