Now, from the planned amount of carbohydrates you will take in a day-to-day, there is a problem of time with carbohydrates that should be considered to maximize the effect. The main time to consume carbohydrates to take advantage of sparing protein /anabolic capability is in the morning as soon as you wake up(because you have not eaten at least 6-8 hours and increased cortical levels) and post exercise (high glycemic carbs after exercise causes insulin to spike interesting amino acids from the blood and delivers them to the muscle tissue).
Another important time for the consumption of carbohydrates is 1 to1 1 / 2 hour pre-workout. But the pre-exercise carbohydrate suppresses the activity of lypolytic (fat metabolized during exercise) 3. It's okay, however, because the surplus calories become leaneris almost impossible unless you are a beginner weightlifter or you have good genetics. Just make sure to be aware of the glycemic index (grading scale of how many different forms of carbohydrate insulin spike).
