WHAT ARE CARBOHYDRATES?
Carbohydrates (Carbs) are one of the three (3) macronutrients needed to sustain life. They are also the preferred energy substrate of your skeletal muscles. Except for fibre they provide 4 calories per gram.
Generally, most people consume adequate levels of carbs in their diet. However, athletes, people with a high metabolism (Ectomorph), individuals trying to gain muscle/weight or physically active people may need to supplement with carbs around training or in addition to meals.
THE 3 FORMS OF CARBS:
- SIMPLE – sugars which are generally faster absorbed excluding fructose (slow).
- COMPLEX – longer chains of sugars joined together that are generally slower absorbed excluding maltodextrin (fast).
- FIBRE – provides gut health and microbiome energy but doesn’t contribute to muscle energy.
The best high GI carbs to supplement around training are glucose and maltodextrin because they are quickly absorbed, well tolerated and create a greater increase in insulin. This boost in insulin helps create an anabolic muscle building state while increasing glycogen (muscle energy) recovery.
Insulin also helps increase the absorption of other nutrients and amino acids including Beta Alanine, Creatine, Citrulline, Glutamine etc. Glucose and Maltodextrin are incredibly easily digested and absorbed so create very little, if any digestive issues. That said, if you are supplementing with simple carbs during training you should keep your solution to no greater than 7%. That means 7g of carbs per 100ml of water.
