Question: how many grams of carbs should i eat after a workout?
Answer: Consuming 0.5–0.7 grams of carbs per pound (1.1–1.5 grams/kg) of body weight within 30 minutes after training results in proper glycogen resynthesis ( 1 ). Furthermore, insulin secretion, which promotes glycogen synthesis, is better stimulated when carbs and protein are consumed at the same time ( 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ).
