This whole carb intake has taken a turn for the worst and there's a lot of good information with good intention but it is not a cookie cutter one size for all, because certain diets and certain protocols will require different types of carbohydrates that are on the glycanic scale, it's all about timing..
not all carbohydrates are created equal and not all of them need to fit in a perfect window like everyone else.. depending on your goal whether you're doing a recomp, whether you're cutting down, whether you're gaining weight everything is going to be timed differently especially if you're doing cardio 5 days a week or two days a week, because that alone will also induce a State of nutrition partitioning along with tools that are using and everything will be shuttled into particular areas where they are needed most... we can't just eat a cookie cutter type carbohydrate and expect the same results for everyone, carbs will change whether it is rice post or pre-workout or if it's a carbohydrate supplement intra workout, or if it's a Pop-Tart pre-workout or gummy bears post workout.. the timing will vary depending on the goal depending on the cardio and depending on the diet..
.there is no simple formula that carbs has to be taking this way and this is a type of carbs because that is absolutely bullshit and if anybody believes that then keep doing it and continually look the same and don't make any fucking changes..
.your body will respond differently with a different macros and nutrition when they are given at the appropriate time, it's all about timing your macros switching things up, switching up your types of carbohydrates and so on.. if this doesn't make any sense for you I would forget about reading and I would hire a coach and they'll explain everything to you... Don't just eat carbohydrates because one person told you you have to.. some people are intentionally trying to keep the furnace going and they're trying to utilize a state of thermogenesis by burning adipose tissue, only later on to incorporate a modest amount of carbohydrates pre-workout and post-workout.. and this will change also in several weeks to keep the metabolism guessing...
if I seen the same person running the same intake with carbohydrates year-round I would stay away from any advice that individual gave you.. there's going to be adjustments and needed to be made, sometimes it's not going to be in your favor and you may not like it but it's going to change the sensitivities and how you respond with nutrition partitioning especially under the present of fasted cardio in the a.m. come for the rest of the day your body will partition nutrition in the pro for your areas and it will be utilized and ways that you have never imagined before... This whole bullshit eating carbs and protein and high calories and lifting heavy weights is some fat boy bullshit.. you'll probably look good with a shirt on but take your shirt off and you look like holy hell.. I much smaller than I used to be with a shirt on but I changed my apparel and it fits me perfect and complements me, I do miss filling out sleeves but we'll get to that point but just not right now.. you have to make adjustments.. that's why some boxers stay away from speed bags or heavy bags for a while and the only work on head movement then they switch it up and they work on foot movement you have to fine tune everything in order to integrate and put everything together at the right time and right place... This is an art, when you're not machines that you shovel nutrition down your throat expecting to get these results because you're only going to be disappointed in the end questioning why you went wrong... Know how to time your macros and know when to adjust them and when to switch them around to different times of the day rather than keeping everything the same ordinary mundane diet although still using the same ordinary boring foods...
