What
about weight training sessions?
Not exact matches
«Pre - and post-workout snacking doesn't vary that much... we generally recommend
about 15 to 25 grams of protein and one gram of carbs per kilogram of body
weight after a heavy
training session — our bodies don't use any more than 25 grams of protein in recovery and any extra will typically get stored as body
weight.»
«I like to do a couple of classes of yoga during the week, mixed in with
weight training sessions, which are for strength... Actually the yoga class is less
about strength and more
about stretching and elongating, so I can have the combo.»
If I'm following the approach that is specified in Body by Science by McGuff and also incorporating HIIT (the day after the

Up until

For moderate - to high - intensity
training sessions, the American Dietetic Association recommends aiming for
about 10 to 12 grams of carbohydrates per 2.2 pounds of body
weight daily.
but, given the fact that at the gym i do aerobic and anaerobic activities (
weight lifting) i thought that for me, the amount of carbs that you guys suggest (less than 20 grams per day) is too low... my
training sessions last at least 2 hours and i think that is a big factor when it comes to glicogen depletion... i mean, probably, at the end of a long
training session i have no carbs left at all, i guess... and after the
session the carbs i eat are (for dinner) 17 grams of carbs contained in the milk (350 ml) shaked with the powder proteins... i also don't eat much fat... in fact my nutritional regime has 1300 - 1400 kcal per day... what do you think
about it?
