Is this affecting my gains?
Someone explain this shit to me. Insulin is "the most anabolic hormone" but also leads to fat gain. How do I find the balance?
A strategy I thought would work was cardio before breakfast to deplete glycogen stores so the carbs (oatmeal) I do eat at breakfast are sent to glycogen stores and not fat cells. Also, carbs after my workout because glcogen is also depleted then.

Concentrated protein sources also cause a spike in insulin with none of the carbs to be stored as fat. I'll let you figure out what the most useless macronutrient is.

>its carbs

That's not how it works. The spike in insulin from concentrated protein sources isn't beneficial, it just means you have insuling floating around in your blood with no glycogen to interact with, although it does interact with protein to some degree.

OP, carbs do not turn into fat unless you overconsume, search up "de novo lipogenesis". The body has 3 stages before the carbs turn into fat.

1. Glycogen is stored in muscles
2. Glycogen is stored in the liver
3. Increased oxidation, increased body temp.
4. Glycogen is converted to fat

Just check the research, it takes serious overfeeding to induce carb to fat conversion. Fat pretty much goes directly to your fat stores, think about how salmon is rich in Omega 3's, that's not because they produce it, it's because they eat foods that contain Omega 3's that gets stored in their fat cells. So the fatty chains go pretty much directly from digestion to storage, like in us. As long as we are talking unrefined carbs, and you are not overfeeding like crazy, there is aboslutely no reason so plan your carb intake according to some idea of insulin induced fat storage.

What would be beneficial in your plan is not that the carbs aren't turned into fat but that you would be using body fat as secondary, and then primary fuel source in your morning workout.

Carbs are fine, CICO is all that matters
>>
i train in the afternoon, usually
i eat carbs in the morning, immediately after waking up
i eat a little bit of carbs about an hour before training
then i eat carbs again immediately after training

this. Thanks man

>>42129839
Yeah thats what I thought. Fat can't magically appear out of nowhere.

>>42129843
Yeah this is my plan

>but also leads to fat gain

Human metabolism isn't that simple, jsut because insulin secretion occurs in response to something doesn't mean it has the same effect as when insulin is secreted when something else is happening.

>>42129774
Yeah fatty, you forgot to mention overconsumption is achieved by ingesting just about anything more than 50g of carbs a day, with the exception of carb consumption immediately after exercising.
>>
>>42130283
No overconsumption, as stated in the studies, is prolonged consumption exceeding daily calorie needs. Even overfeeding 500kcal carbs for a week or two will lead to little to no fat conversion.

Bait as shitty as the diet.
