Leimanu Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Fat is such a good source of energy I didn't realize the body metabolized it so fast, but that way we're always ready! <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment
aj_rock Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Seems obvious to me, at least, that it would be stored rather quickly. Otherwise, after a high-fat meal, your triglyceride levels would shoot through the roof. Just remember, easily stored, easily un-packaged. Those same fat cells gobbelling fats ASAP also release them fairly quickly and often as well.I could talk for days about the physiology behind it. Just know that, for your average person, it doesn't make a whole heap of difference. It's still calories in and calories out. Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment

Korosia Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 So does this mean the best time to work out is about an hour after a meal? I heard somewhere else (can't remember where, but not NF) that it was better to work out right *before* a meal - that way your body gets all the 'stuff' it needs to build muscle, and you've kind of created an energy deficit so the carbs/fat still get used up. Is that right, or does it not really make a difference?Also, does that only apply for carido, or do things like strength training and walking count? Link to comment
