So whats the deal with not having fats and carbs in the same meal? Obviously fat slows absorption/digestion of everything it is eaten with which is why I have moved fats as far as possible from my training, but as far as the whole "insulin pushes all nutrients into cells, so you don't want to eat fats and carbs in the same meal because then the fats will get shuttled right into the cells which will cause more fat gain as compared to muscle gain." What is this based off of? Is it not more so the ratio of protien, fats, and carbs that effects body composition? Either way the fat will make it's way into the cells, whether it's sooner or later right? So if this even does happen, how does that make a difference? What if your eating a very low GI carb and a fat at the same time? Then you wouldn't theoretically have much of any insulin spike anyways, so would the fat still need to be eaten seperately from the carb source? I'm honestly just thinking out loud here, because I'm bored and don't have anybody to talk to currently.. lol Somebody make me believe!
