So Basically, the more carbs you eat the more they'll be used as glycogen? Am I lost here?
Over eating carbs will be stored as excess. If you're not insulin sensitive, the energy will go towards fat. If you are sensitive via working out, then yes the carbs will want to be shuttled to the muscles as opposed to fat. Any excess or overload of carbs will still be used as fat.
Eat before the gym. Trust me when I say this - Drinking egg whites out of the carton is your best bet lol.
Buy the one's from superstore - 2 bucks, 500ml and drink it.
That's 50g of protein. With that either eat a Banana, or just have a tablespoon of olive oil.
You're golden! Post workout have a whey shake with some Sugars.
FYI, Egg whites don't really taste like anything. I drink them all the time.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
