What if I’ve gained like 5-8 pounds :( I’ve been feeling so insecure about my weight. My clothes aren’t fitting me well. Like I’m able to run/ perform well. And I’ve gotten faster but I can’t tell if all this carb eating / weight gain is worth it or if it’s going to be harder to lose it :(

I’m 150lbs and what you just suggested is 10-15 plain bagels a day. That seems wild.

Small caviar here, your body also stores glycogen in the brain, but that’s only beneficial for athletic performance for one very key reason. Once it goes into the brain as glycogen just like with the muscles, it can’t go anywhere else, it’s only going to fuel the brain. The only place where it could shuttle from is the liver as you mentioned, but a real key in ensuring that we’re topped off in terms of our muscle glycogen, and what’s in our brain which super compensated different ways, is how impacts hitting the dreaded wall. From everything I’ve seen we don’t slow down because we completely run out of carbohydrate fuels, we actually do this because we get very low in carbs in our brain being near obligate user of carbohydrates says danger I’m gonna slow you down with about 20% like a gent in the body because I need it to fuel myself. So it’s gonna prioritize the brain getting glucose over your muscles. Doesn’t necessarily impact us for a three day carload as you mentioned, but if somebody is chronically in a lower state of carbohydrate, use the also highly recommend against, you might also look at the fact that your brain may be pulling carbohydrates that you meant for your long run because it’s finally getting a car carbohydrates that it needs in the short term.

Please break down what we should actually be eating. When I think carbs, I was thinking rice, potatoes, oatmeal, but then you said almost no fiber, so what carbs are you eating?
