Refuelling – when is the best time to eat after exercise?
The best time to start refuelling after exercise is as soon as possible after training really, then continuing to eat a carby snack roughly every 2 hours. This is more effective than eating a large meal, as glucose from the bloodstream can only pass into the muscle cells at a fixed rate determined partly by insulin levels.
A larger amount of glucose is not necessarily taken into the cells quicker than a smaller amount and the remainder would be turned into fat! The enzymes that convert glucose into glycogen unfortunately can only work at a set speed.
For example; a small meal containing 50g of carbs would be absorbed into the bloodstream and virtually all of it would be converted into glycogen within roughly 2 hours. There is very little risk of any of the carbs being converted into fat. If a high carb meal is eaten, unused glucose in the bloodstream would be turned away and stored as fat.
A delay in eating carbs after exercise could make glycogen manufacture slower and in turn it would take longer to refuel.
Check out this paper; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3132449
“The results suggest that delaying the ingestion of a carbohydrate supplement post-exercise will result in a reduced rate of muscle glycogen storage.”

It is essential that any performance measures selected by the strength and conditioning coach are specific to the physical quality demands of the chosen sport.

This will allow for the proper evaluation of an athlete’s sport specific readiness and highlights any strengths and areas that require improvement.
