pre and post carbs question

[imported_ikoskela]

From the Pre / Post Exercise and Nutrition article:

Quote[/b] ]
It is recommended that at least 0.7 - 1.0 gram of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight be consumed immediately after exercise and then again 1-2 hours later. If you experience gastric upset try increasing the amount of water you consume with the carbs. Try to shoot for a total of 7-10 grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight over a 24-hour period 3 for maximum glycogen storage. This may well be in excess of caloric needs but it is important to shoot for this intake if glycogen storage is your primary goal.

If I am already consuming 400-600 calories more than my daily maintenance requirement to gain mass and am breaking it down 50% carbs, 25% protein, 25% fat, should pre and post carb suppliment consumption be IN ADDITION to this 400-600 extra calories I am consuming or should it be INCLUDED in that?
Thanks,
Ian

In the context of bodybuilding overall calories should be taken into account. If the workout drinks cause 400-600 above what you have worked out for growth (which is already 400-600 above maintenance) you going to put on more fat.

You need to re-arrange meals and take less carbs in other meals or use less in the workout meals. The statement was refering to research of performance (athletes). Maximum glycogen storage is not as important for BB. In Bryans eating for size article you will find that he suggests 20-40 grams of carbs pre/post depending on BW.
