Glycogen Resynthesis
Glycogen resynthesis refills carb stores after training—fastest with timely carbs and protein, especially before another hard session.
Glycogen resynthesis is the refilling of muscle and liver carbohydrate stores after hard training—fastest in the first few hours when carbs and protein are combined. Endurance athletes need aggressive refeed timing; general gym-goers benefit from steady daily carbs without obsessing over a thirty-minute window.
Sleep and total calories still matter.
Common questions
-
How soon should you eat carbs after training?
Within two hours is a practical target when the next hard session is soon; otherwise spread quality carbs across the day with adequate protein.
