Meringue for carb up?? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Paul1 · 26-06-2007, 01:58 PM

I am following a timed carbs diet at the mo and getting good results, the problem is on my carb up day, I dont think I am getting enough carbs. I dont seem to be much fuller after my carb up day than on any other day.

Would eating meringues be ok?

The reason I ask is looking at the ingredients; egg whites & sugar, this on the face of it looks quite good for a carb up dont you think? Or would you stick to slower digesting carbs, eg oats etc

Cheers

no mate yes it is full of sugar but the point to a high carb day is to use good complex carbs as this will help keep you fuller longer....use Oats/WMS or Cornflour as they are the same....other alternatives could be bagels??

I dont understand, WMS, I am lead to believe is digested something like 70% faster than dextrode, so how would that keep you fuller for longer.

Wouldnt 'table' sugar be digested slower than WMS if the above is true.

Thanks for the advice

WMS also replenishes muscle glycogen faster which is the whole point to high carb days along with raising the metabolism and leptin....forget table sugar mate....
