How many/Do you still need quick carbs while cutting

[ctec27]

I've got somewhat of a dilema, currently on a low carb diet <100gms a day while cutting, how many quick carbs/ do i still need to be taking quick carbs post workout (I'm also using monohydrate creatine)

Depends on your diet overall - From memory - on the velocity diet the only carbs they get is dextrose in their PWO.

I think it would be benefecial rather than harmful!

Will depend on any individual and your sensitivity to carbs..

When I cut I have carbs for breakfast, post and pre workout, usually around 100-120g.

On leg days, carbs increase and days that involve 2-a-days (such as working out in the morning and training in the evening), carbs decrease on off-days, but calories remain relatively the same.

So to think about im actually on a carb-cycle, but not really, it just depends on my schedule..

Reducing carbs can be done (Keto), but seriously, its difficult to completely cut carbs, especially long-term. The best advice I can give is to use carbs as fuel, only when you need it.

im also interested in this question - to have or not to have pwo carbs

how much is 100g of sugars? i use the same scoop as for protein the big 25g one and have about 2 scoops which seems like alot of dextrose but maybe it is only like 30g?? do u have like 1/2 a jam jar or something of it? 100g??

also re creatine and cutting - i dont think this is the best idea but i know u can do it if u want.
