Protein acts as the last line of defense when energy is required, meaning that energy accessibility is running very low. When the body breaks down protein to make more glucose, it takes from the muscle, causing them to waste away.
Gluconeogenesis is more common in carbohydrate-free diets , so be sure to consume healthy carbs to prevent this. Replenishing glycogen stores with complex carbs is important to prevent protein breakdown and muscle wasting.
They know those good carbs are a necessary nutrient to help them power through training sessions, resulting in muscle maintenance and growth. Some of the reasons why athletes consume a fair amount of carbs include:. By now, you understand the importance of glycogen stores. Some glycogen is even stored in our muscles. When you use those muscles during exercise, you tap into the glycogen stores in that particular muscle.
Some athletes take advantage of glycogen by loading up on carbohydrates by consuming carbs a day or more before a workout to maximize the muscle glycogen stores. This can delay fatigue and even improve athletic performance, making for a better workout and stronger muscles. Out of the three macronutrients, carbs are the most efficiently metabolized.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the Dietitians of Canada, and the American College of Sports all share the position that high carbohydrate availability is associated with improving performance during high-intensity exercise. Because carbohydrates are the only macronutrient that can be broken down quickly enough to provide sustained energy during high-intensity training.
Both carbohydrates and protein will both provide 4 calories per gram. But it is much easier for your body to digest and use the calories from a gram of carbohydrate than it is a gram of protein. Research has shown the link between nutrition and athletic performance is greater than initially believed. During exercise, muscles slightly tear. Muscles feel sore after intense exercise because of this minor damage that allowed the muscles to exert more force than during regular activity.
After exercise or during rest, the muscles need to be repaired and rebuilt. Just like for building muscle, protein and glycogen is needed for that muscle repair.
The body looks to complex carbs as its main energy source. When the body breaks down muscle tissue for energy, it does so to access the amino acids the building blocks of protein. The amino acids are then broken down into glucose and used for energy. Carbs help to prevent this process encouraging protein sparing, which means they conserve muscle tissue by providing energy instead. When carbs are present, the body will use carbs first and foremost for energy.
Decreased energy due to low-carb consumption may affect athletic performance. When glycogen stores are low, athletic performance is decreased. Muscle strength can be compromised and fatigue increases when glycogen stores are low. Therefore, consuming carbs before the workout for energy and after to replenish glycogen stores are important contributors to improved exercise performance.
Complex carbs are vital for sustained energy, athletic performance, and overall muscle building. The time of carb consumption also impacts athletic performance and muscle building. Consuming complex carbs immediately before a workout could lead to digestive distress, so try to limit complex carb consumption to up to a few hours before an intense workout.
The amount of complex carbs you eat depends on your body composition goals. Athletes may pile on the carbs as they are required to train day-in and day-out.
So it makes sense that they should consume a higher carb diet than the average person because they have higher energy needs. If the goal is to build muscle, we now know to eat all three macronutrients, including a fair amount of carbs. The moral of this story is that carbs, just like every other macronutrient, have a place in improving your body composition. In the end, it takes a well-rounded diet and a smart routine to build muscle. Lacey Bourassa is a health and wellness writer in Southern California.

This is the question on your mind right now. Just why are the most demonized macro on the gym floor so essential? Carbohydrates deserve more credit than we give them. Even when fats and protein are present, carbohydrates are our go-to movement juice. Especially those who undergo high-intensity training, say, like a hypertrophy or strength workout. So, by providing you with the energy to train, carbs aid muscle building.
They allow you to work harder to force a greater amount of microcellular damage. The more muscle tears you create, the more room for growth given proper recovery. Protein synthesis is a process when biological cells generate new protein. This is usually balanced out by protein degradation, when the body breaks down you guessed it protein cells. For simplicity, see this as new protein structures being formed. These can then be used to re-build and bolster damaged muscles. Almost every single scientist on planet earth agrees that protein ingestion post-workout improves protein synthesis.
Does that mean you have to guzzle a shake before your dropped dumbbell hits the gym floor? Not really. Having a protein rich meal between minutes to two hours after training seems to have the best results. But there is also research that suggests carbohydrates actually improve protein synthesis. This is just one reason to include fast-acting carbs in your post-workout nutrition ritual. This process then helps push amino acids into the muscle and speeds up the regeneration of protein [2][3].
In the case of carbs, the sooner you can get to them the better. So, if you can stomach it, try to snack on something simpler with a lower glycemic index after training. Besides just tasting good, they might even help protect your physique. Remember how we talked about carbs being your bodies preferred energy?
Well, when you ingest them one or two things happens. Not training? Now when you do decide to work out, in say an hour or two, your body transforms the glycogen back into glucose for energy.
This is bad news if you want to make any kind of size gains. If you have an abundance of protein in your diet, this might supply the energy. Another reason to hit the grains for gains is better recovery. Scientists say that the faster you can get carbs back into your system the better too [4]. They can help improve protein synthesis, meaning your muscle fibers can grow back bigger, better, and stronger. We all know that intense exercise makes you more at risk of illness, right? Simply put, it suppresses the immune system especially during recovery.
Well, that or some other kind of illness…. Now, if you want to build muscle you need to train. So, by keeping you free from illness for longer, carbs also indirectly help you build muscle. Olympia and Al Beckles was starting to reach his peak, many bodybuilders would do the 'no carbohydrate thing' for some time. Cory Everson, on the other hand, never dropped her carbohydrates—ever. In either case, protein is a relatively expensive and inefficient energy source when compared to carbohydrates.
As much as some frown on sugars and starches, these carbohydrates are your body's most important fuel source. Your body breaks them down into the simple sugar glucose. Glucose is either directly consumed by your cells for energy, or it's stored as glycogen in the muscle or liver for later use when your energy demand requires it. Those are the simple, accurate facts.
When glucose is in short supply, your body will begin to utilize fat and protein even muscle protein for energy to preserve glucose levels. This complex energy system has been referred to by some as the "Glucose Economy.
As you burn calories energy through exercise, or remain in a carbohydrate-fasted state as on low carb diets , your body scrambles to make glucose in an effort to maintain its glucose economy. It is your glucose economy that determines how fast your body burns fat, how well it performs physically, and how fast you recover after training.
Yes, low carbohydrate diets may be an effective way to manipulate your body's glucose economy to burn fat faster. Since the body is in a carb-depleted state, it is forced to convert fat into glucose to meet its energy demands. But you simply can not do this for any extended period or you will not accrue muscle. Smart bodybuilders may carbohydrate-deplete gradually only for a few weeks maybe weeks as they get shredded for competition. During these critical competition, low carbohydrate trials, high protein bars commercial examples: The Pure Protein bar and The Promax Lean Protein bar , are convenient and effective means to increase protein intake and minimize carbohydrates.
Beware, though, bodybuilders and other athletes may be at risk of catabolizing muscle protein to meet the body's demand for glucose and may actually sacrifice gains in lean muscle if they follow low carb diets or just use low carbohydrate bars , for extended periods of time.
I say again strongly, such use must be occasional, not for extended periods of time. Most of the training year, bodybuilders and strength athletes are training to pack on muscle. During this type of training, low carb diets categorically will NOT be as effective at building muscle as a diet that is higher in carbohydrates. Moderate-to-high carbohydrate diets provide better energy levels, support muscle growth, prevent muscle break down, and promote faster recovery after training, all of which are vital when athletes are training for size and strength.
Research suggests that for these training periods, a protein bar with moderate levels of carbohydrates perhaps in this case, something like my actual favorite, The Promax bar from the SportPharma company , will prove a much better choice than an ultra low carbohydrate bar.
