Need help with carb backload scedule!

[Gerd Beumer]

On my rest days I stay ultra-low carb all day.
If I train the next day on an empty stomach, should I backload my carbs on my rest day, or should I backload my carbs on the training day before my rest day?
Are there any negative effects when you train empty stomach and did not backload carbs the night before?

[Richard Schmitt]

This does depend, ideally you still want to backload your carbs at night on your training day. I would say some carbs the night before your training day is not a bad idea if you need it. Also another scenario is the type of day or job you have might leave you with less glycogen than someone who has a desk job if you have a physically demanding job.
