Hi Maryke. I read similar info in the book "Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance". Ideally I would like to weigh a constant 68kgs and therefore would need to eat at minimum 5g x 68 = 340g of Carbs. That would require me to eat at least 14 bananas or a complete loaf of whole-wheat bread. That sounds a bit extreme and I would find it difficult eating anything else after having consumed so much carbs during the day. There will be no space left in my body for other fruit and veggies as well. Also very important is when you eat your carbs because I believe that timing is important. From what I have read it seems that carbs needs to be consumed just before and after workouts because that is when they are most beneficial to the muscle glycogen stores and won’t be channeled towards fat storage. Your thoughts please and do u think I am correct in my thinking?
