I’m new to this entire scene and the gym,
Carbohydrates are obviously important for the gym I feel such a difference when I eat like 3-400G carbs daily then under 100.
People say they Bloat you like crazy.
I’m just a little confused

Sorry if this a a “noob” question

Do you think the bloating stuff is overblown? I feel like alot of these guys are just fat

Carbohydrates make you carry more water, but it's not subcutaneous so to say it bloats you referring to edema is just a fib, a janky electrolyte profile can make you retain water so if you eat a ridiculous amount one day especially if you've been in a sustained caloric deficit previously, you'll carry more subcutaneous water, but not because of carbohydrates, moreso cause of salt

^- A note on the caloric deficit aspect, eating less calories means you'll carry less water, just a verity pronounced as a little less than 1/4th of the water you retain comes from food rather than fluid, this is why when people on a diet binge they experience what is pretty much the pinnacle of natty "bloat" (with the exception of people with inefficient kidneys/hearts, e.g BP issues, irregular heartbeat, etc)

Forgot mention that the reason carbohydrates make the scale go up (post waste excretion) is because for each gram of glycogen stored, three to four grams of water bind to contractile tissue along with it

^- A pound of lean mass can store a varied amount of glycogen by the gram (internet says 4-8, don't know how true and where the disparity comes from), making it easy to jump up 1-3 pounds even just after an active day

Okay thanks man I really appreciate this, you’re very well spoken aswell. I was wondering because everyone always talks about pre workout carbs but my lifestyle I can’t do this I have set eating times but aslong I get a lot of carbs in it should be good.
