Just thought itd be intresting to see what people like as there carb sources pwo , mainly geard towards folks doing a nutrient timing style diet ( no carbs until intra )
My pwo meal for a while has been ground turkey , rice crispys and almond milk
But due to feeling very lethargic after this meal , especially if I train first thing in the morning and snd after this meal ( 150g carb from the rice crispys ) is usually followed by a 12 hour work day , I just find my appite is very Low and energy is not great , so recently iv swapped to sweet potatoes and honey or jamsin rice , Macros are the Same but I just find since changing carb souces I don't feel as lethargic and my appite is much better
What's you thoughts on this guys ?
I'm no expert, but I'm inclined to say that if you feel better, it's probably better. Sometimes this stuff is personal, and I have found it changes after awhile.
For my own personal experience, I'm the exact opposite. I do rice crispies and protein powder "milk" and feel great afterwards. Saturdays and Sunday's I train in the morning, and have that as my 3rd meal (2nd if not counting peri-work out) and still am pretty hungry throughout the rest of the day and keep hitting the carbs easily. I actually had to stop doing sweet potatoes as they were making me feel like I had cement in my stomach. I know people who eat oatmeal and feel terrible. For me, it feels like my body just chews and absorbs oatmeal extremely well.
How long ago have you made this change? do you see any changes in how you look? or how your training is going? Beyond how you physically feel, those would be the other two indicators that would at least let me know if what you are doing is working.
