I visit two website frequently. This one, and the One on AST Sports Science. Great trustwothy information on both sites. However, they have research to proves certain things that HST dimisses, and vice versa. For example there is information on this site about eating carbs after cardio can stem fat buring whereas AST has research where they say it is good if you carb up after cardio and that it does not have any negative effect on fat burning. As a matter of fact, they say it is impossible to store fat from eating carbs after a cardio session. That is just one little example from many. Anyone else confused because of conflicting information from two sources they think highly of? Thanks

Bryan has made great strides in producing non biased scientific studies available. You may want to go back and re-read his Articles.
Personal note: When I read AST's articles especially based on their VP2 WHey and how their whey got published in the Journal I was extremely disenheartened. Because no where in the actual study does it say they used "VP2" whey but AST sure made and want you to believe they did.
Excerpt from Bryan's article on pre/post nutrition
BEFORE
Consuming simple sugars right before training can reduce the amount of glycogen used during exercise. This can prolong performance. More importantly, higher blood sugar and insulin levels appear to create a hormonal milieu favorable to anabolism (growth).
AFTER
During exercise muscles use metabolic fuels at an accelerated rate. In order for physical work to be continuous, the body mobilizes stored fuels to make fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids available for oxidation. This is a catabolic process and cannot occur simultaneous to anabolic processes such as glycogen formation and protein synthesis.
In order for the body to recover from exercise, the catabolic environment must be quickly changed to an anabolic environment. The food that you eat after training affects the hormonal milieu in your body in order for this to take place. With the rapid introduction of carbohydrate, protein, and fat into the system post exercise, the body is able to begin reparations on damaged tissue and replenish fuel reserves.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are important for performance and perhaps more importantly for glycogen recovery. Studies have shown an increased ability of muscle tissue to take up serum glucose immediately following strenuous exercise (Goodyear 1998).
