Carbs when working out
I have been exercising fairly decently and know to hit the protein after my workouts, this is usually in the form of a protein drink that is ready and waiting.
Not sure if I had discussed it here but up until about 2 months ago I was only taking in about 500-600 calories a day and still hitting the exercise on a regular basis. I met with a NUT who mapped out an eating plan for me which consists of the following
Per Day:
60+ grams protein
1 Serving Fruit
1 Serving Veggie
1 Serving Whole Grain
Calorie goal is 1000-1200 which is still pretty difficult for me to hit. The thing I am unsure of is about how many carbs should I be taking in per day on average. My largest meal for carbs is typically breakfast on the days I workout.
My typical routine is:
MWF 5K or 45 minutes dreadmill 30 minutes Upper Body
TTH Morning 60 minutes weights lower body and some upper body
TTH night Tae Kwon Do class
Sat just started Back to back TKD classes 45 minute serious class 45 minute Slower paced family class.
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated as I am having a difficult time pushing my running to a new level, I still get tired pretty quick.
