Carbs or protein ?

Question

I just got a gym membership and my trainer advised to alternate my routine with cardio and weights. Other than that, I have no idea about muscle recovery ....
What are the rules for eating carbs or protein with exercise?

Answer

typically eat carbs before working out to provide energy TO work out. follow up a workout with protein for muscle building. however any balanced diet will get you through a workout and day :) I suggest seeing a nutritionist or dietician to actually help show/teach you everything because what you read may not be the best option or even the healthiest even if it shows "results" :)

Answer

No joke, regular chocolate milk is an excellent recovery beverage. It had a really good balance of carbs, fat and protein.

Answer

I usually fast before exercise but that's because I exercise in the morning. 
If I run I focus on replenishing my carbs after, if I lift I make sure to have protein to help my muscular babies grow and recover. Lol 
However, both are important
Carbs for quick fuel & protein for your muscles!

Answer

Both are pretty essential to your brain's functioning. Without sugar, your brain can go into hypoglycaemic tension (basically you faint while like walking/doing light exercise), but without protein your brain can't function correctly either, and you could start developing bad ideas that you don't know are wrong. So basically eat a bit of both, or if you're on a diet pick a good one that isn't insanely restrictive, etc.

Answer

Depends on what your diet is

Answer

there's simple vs complex carbs. stay away from complex carbs and research the amount suggested for your weight. Protein is good after a workout ... helps your muscles recover!

Answer

Eat both in moderation. If anybody tells you not to eat carbs, run in the opposite direction. They're parroting fad diet headlines and completely ignoring that carbs are essential energy, especially if you are exercising regularly. And don't skip the protein. Protein satiates and improves muscle recovery and building.

Answer

your workout routine & diet/meal plan should be based off of what your goals are for yourself .
