"So I'm doing the TKD consuming my carbs pre and post workout. I've been getting a lot of mixed answers. For my pre meal I'm having purely oatmeal. Will having something like a banana or orange help with explosiveness? I'm doing your Strength Training for Fat Loss.
"I'm trying to consume the least sugar possible. So for my post workout meal I'm also only doing oatmeal but with brown sugar. Any post workout meal tips? Should I incorporate fruit or some other simple sugars? Also since I'm only doing carbs pre and post workout, what about veggies?
"I lift 1st thing in the morning after my 1st meal of course. So I've been consuming veggies up until my last 2 meals. Mainly dark leafy ones. I think I pretty much have my diet down to the T, just a little confused on this stuff. Thanks for the help!"
My Answer: If your workout is after breakfast, then eat a real breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage and coffee with cream, no sugar. Don't eat oatmeal or any other cereal for breakfast. No toast either. Just eat a high protein/low carb meal for breakfast 1-2 hours before your workout. You will be much more alert and ready to train.
After your workout, eat whatever carbs and protein you want. This means you get only one carb-up meal on the days you workout. Whatever carbs you want. You figure it out. If you want to make it simple, then drink a post workout drink high in carbs and moderate in protein.
On days you don't workout, you don't get any carb-up meal. Veggies are your only carbs. You should be eating veggies with lunch and dinner every day. For all intents and purposes, veggies don't count as carbs, because each gram of fiber negates each gram of carbohydrate.
