When do you usually eat your carbs on workout days?

I take them prior to, while exercising, and following the session. I aim to have a meal roughly sixty minutes ahead of training. I add a high-carb powder to my water bottle and sip it en route, throughout the workout, and any remainder afterwards. I follow the same approach for cycling, though that often involves several bottles plus solid food on longer rides.

I spread them across the entire day, including after lifting.

Roughly sixty minutes prior to the session and then again a few hours later.

Overall I don't believe timing matters that much. Eating properly leads to progress regardless. Still, it's often said to be better to have them around the training window and to cut back on rest days. These points are minor details though unless prepping for a show. Our meds already help with insulin control so the exact moment of ingestion shouldn't change much. Short version is before and after training while lowering intake on off days.

I train early in the day and like to have mine after the session. Too much food before training just doesn't feel that good. I still have a bit beforehand but the majority comes afterwards. I prefer keeping a slightly higher carb level spread across both training and rest days so glycogen stays topped up.

Five times daily whenever the mood strikes. Still, a fifty-gram sugar hit is required before every workout.

I eat zero carbs on a keto carnivore OMAD plan and feel great. Back when I did eat carbs, with limited amounts I would split them around training fifty percent before and fifty after or thirty seventy. With higher totals I spread them across the day but still gave the largest share to the post-workout meal.

Morning workouts get carbs afterward from me. Evening ones get them beforehand instead. Appetite is low early in the day and I avoid pushing meals too close to bedtime.

That checks out.

A video I saw lately pointed out that total carb intake matters far more than scheduling them precisely. Two hundred grams eaten at ideal times can still fall short of four hundred grams consumed without any plan. What fits the person best is what counts. Substantial food even four hours ahead leaves me feeling sick, so on lifting days a light bite two hours before training works for me since nearly everything else lands after the session in the early afternoon.
