Timing Carbs On a TKD?
I am curious about how to specifically time carbs while on a TKD?
Because a TKD is pretty much low-carb ketogenic all of the time and then high-GI carbs are ingested preworkout, and then possibly some postworkout. This is very controversial, however.
I am thinking maybe 40-50g of dextrose (Sweettarts, Smarties, whatevever) and then maybe a 20 oz. bottle of Gatorade during my workout which yields 35g of carbs. So that would bring me around the 80-85g mark for the day.
Basically you kick yourself out of ketosis to have a good workout, and then you go right back to ketogenic style eating.Stats!

I would say around 25g dextrose 30min prework out. Then 40 immediatly after.
And on non workout days little to no carbs.Kevin

I believe Lyle McDonald says to use ingest 5 grams of carbs for every set of training. So I used the same amount of carbs for pre and post WO. When I do TKD's that's what I use and have no problems going back into ketosis...
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I am most likely going to do around 25-30 total sets in each of my workouts. So that would put me somewhere in the 100g+ carb range. I am thinking about a roll of Sweettarts preworkout, which yield 39g of carbs, and then a Gatorade during my workout, which would yield 35g of carbs. This would put me in the ~75g range. I should most likely be able to easily get back into ketosis right?
How long before my workout should I ingest the carbs?Stats!

I don't think that really matters. what your activity level is outside of the gym is the greatest factor. if you are a competitive athlete than a TKD or CKD is definetly not for you as your body needs carbs to perfrom at optimum levels when sports are concerned.

that would be a good place to start at. at lot of using a TKD is trial and error. you will have to see how much carbs you need to get in a good training session vs how those carbs effect your ability to stay in ketosis. Originally Posted by MonStar
