if you're training every day or twice in a day then the timing of carbohydrate really starts to matter and in that case I see no reason to not ingest those nutrients either before during or after
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
if you're in a situation where you have two or three days before you work out again you don't need to worry about getting carbohydrate in before during or after Because by the time you go to train again you will have restored your muscle glycogen levels easily
and and what I will say too is the rate of glycogen replenishment gets really tossed around a lot as something really important for the most part the rate isn't so important if you're eating enough total carbohydrate on a total daily basis and enough calories you'll replenish your muscle glycogen and most these people I always say dude you you're weight training for an hour you're going to do it again in 23 hours you got plenty of time to replenish that glycogen you don't need cyclic destrin or dextrose or whatever and so I'm not really worried about that
you're going to resynthesize that glycogen as long as you get enough total carbohydrates
The importance of carbohydrate replenishment after a long endurance type of workout? Um, do you think that's important to to replenish the glycogen stores? And depends on depends on what you had starting with.
we talked about the anabolic window for carbohydrates, how there really there truly does seem to be an importance there with respect to at least if you're doing more endurance type of training and you want to be ready for the next day.
