How much Dextrose PW do you guys take while cutting?

[JG1]

Just wanted to get some opnions.

Currently am only eating carbs on training days (Friday, Sunday, Tuesday) for my first meal (1c oats, 7oz chicken, fish oil, 200mg r-ALA) and my second meal which is my PW shake (75g dextrose, 50g whey, 200mg r-ALA), the rest of the day I'm go carb-less. On my non-training days I just eat protein/fat all day.

So on my training days I'm taking around 135-140g carbs, and on my non-training days I get close to zero.

Debating whether or not I should lower the carbs in my PW shake....or perhaps since my carbs are so low I should keep them the same PW cause there will be no spill over into fat?

What do you guys think? 75g dextrose PW too much while cutting? Maybe reduce it to around 50g or so?

I would probably just gauge your body. If you are not cutting up enough with the 75 g. PW then lower it to 50, but realisitically that's only 100 calories. But then again I have never "cut" in my life, 400 grams of carbs/day for me IS cutting...

bro, one of the main things that you should do is blunt the insulin response during diet phases. Insulin is known to cause upregulation of fat-storing enzymes; that being said, I think that 75g is way too high.
I am currently on a cyclogenic keto diet and take only about 10-20g post-workout, depending on how many grams of carbs I intend on consuming for that day.

When I cut for 12 weeks the first month use 75g dextose postworkout and the 2nd and 3rd month I use 35-50.

I use 80g Postworkout while cutting.

I use 80g Postworkout while cutting.

You take in any carbs pre-workout like I do with my first meal? On my non-training days I'm going pretty much carbless.

JG1, this is what I do, pre-workout -apple. Postworkout Pro/Carb shake. Next meal same ratio but solid food. I would skip the first meal carbs and just have an apple. Then have 2 Carb meals postworkout, that's the most important time IMO.

How long after your PW shake do you eat the pro/carb solid food meal? 80g carbs, 50g protein?

So basicaly if I eat breakfast at 8:30am, have some chicken and flax (8oz chicken, 1Tbs flax, 1tsp fish oil), and I train 11:30am. So around 11 have the apple and train 30 minutes later?

After the second PW meal you go carbless threwout the day as well?

BTW, you hit any PW cardio? Or just morning cardio?
