there's so many conflicting articles out there, I think you should just stick to what you think works for you

This - everyuthing is trial and error, listen to your body. So many bro science internet experts. People set themselves unachievable goals then think everything is a contradiction.

"Studies show a supercompensation of glycogen stores when carbohydrate is consumed immediately post-exercise, and delaying consumption by just 2 hours attenuates the rate of muscle glycogen re-synthesis by as much as 50%"
Good read that and it's good to learn a bit more about the "why's" of things, as I said I generally eat 30 - 60 mins post workout

"Studies show a supercompensation of glycogen stores when carbohydrate is consumed immediately post-exercise, and delaying consumption by just 2 hours attenuates the rate of muscle glycogen re-synthesis by as much as 50%"
So is this study then saying I should be having my supper or some form of carb straight after I go to the gym (after work most days)?
I have about 10-15g of protein and an apple pre and 35-40g of protein post-workout (no food) - then a meal 30 mins-1 1/2 hours after my workout normally.
From my understanding (and parts of that study above) I thought it was beneficial to have protein pre and post ASAP but carbs were not entirely important?
I also thought carb sensitivity was increased immensely post-cardio so it was beneficial to do resistance, cardio and then have post-workout and a meal?

The sense and purpose of a pre-workout meal is stable blood glucose. -> motivation
-> concentration
-> coordination
Carbs 1-2 hours pre-workout max. 1g per kg bodyweight. If you´re last meal was more than 2 hours ago, it is advisable to have a quick snack 30 mins before the actual workout. Rice Pudding + Banana + Toast with honey for example.
There is no need for any kind of supplements. Neither pre nor post workout. At least half of your energy intake post workout should be fast absorbable carbs and 6g essential amino acids are enough. Whatever food that might be. Your post workout meal max 2 hours after the actual workout. Rice + chicken ( complex carbs + protein ) for example. 1,2-1,5g per kg bodyweight proteins and more importantly the right stimulus are the basis for a successfull training. Anything above 2g per kg bodyweight is nonsense and can be self-defeating. I´d recommend to listen to what actual specialists or doctors, based on scientific knowledge have to say. 90% of all the recommandation on instagram, facebook and the like is based on non-professional references.

It makes sense for me - I'm just interested to hear why it's viewed as 'retarded' by some. I don't buy into the whole 'meal timing' train of thought in any case.
Well yes and no; prolonged periods of not eating (appetite dependant) can, not surprisingly, lead to you being starving and overeating in your 'window' as a result.
Of course, it varies from individual to individual.

Use carbs intra to help the recovery straight away and then a meal an hour after "the window of gains" is up to 48 hours post workout but never heard of a 50% drop in uptake after 2 hours. Be interested to read more on that piece. Generally I eat within 30 mins of workout finishing.

been intermittent fasting, whilst training in the morning on an empty stomach, and I got to say my BF% has dropped significantly whilst muscle build has been carrying on consistently. I've only been doing it 4 weeks, but the improvements I can see are pretty good.
I only eat between 13:00 - 20:00 each day, and train for an hour in the morning only on BCCA's and a black coffee. No protein shakes or anything afterwards. Would recommend to those that want to cut.

I cba to pull the links but theres theories that IF is the way we're supposed to eat, from back when we (I use "we" loosely) were hunters. Long periods of fasting while the animal was being hunted, then a large meal, rinse and repeat. They didnt have iphones and mcdonalds though.
I intermittent fast; not on purpose just my schedule and appetite, and look better than 95% of people in this thread so based on that sample study im all for it.

Only real purpose for IF is to maintain a deficit cause it's harder to over eat calories
