Was looking through the kitchen this morning before work and found some Sundried Ripend Cranberries the wife bought and seen they have 35grams carbs per tiny little box. I know it is said we shouldn't reallly eat fruit for back loading but these are pretty ripe. Lots of fructose I am assuming. What are your opinions on this? It would be something different and better for you.
fructose is not favorable actually …is the fructose content listed on the package?
I may be remembering wrong, but in one of the podcast interviews, Keifer mentioned that if you are going to backload with fruit, have it first since fructose will refill your liver glycogen. If you have fructose later in the night, the other carbs you've already backloaded may have already replenished glycogen stores. I believe the issue with fructose as carbs is that it can bypass the mechanism that limits fat gain while backloading, so once those glycogen stores are full you want to avoid fruit.
It doesn't list fructose on the package but it says 32g sugar and 3g fiber. I am just assuming the sugar carbs are fructose, don't know for sure.I believe you are right with the mechanism that limits the fat gain, that fructose can bypass that. Thought I read that somewhere also now that you mention it.
Yea if you're going to have carbs have them right after your workout. Kiefer even mentions he'll normally have some over-ripe bananas PWO.
Yeah I am liking the idea of over-ripe bananas better than anything else. Just so happend they were in the house as I was searching for food ideas for tonight that are quick after I get home from some sand v-ball.

Hope I'm not being patronising here, it is not my intent, But v- ball wouldn't warrant a backload. Maybe you're working out early the next morning but otherwise I wouldn't think v-ball would activate tGLUT. Ignore me if you're density bulking and don't really care about maybe gaining a ill fat.

this, plus the fact that fructose causes very little (if at all) insulin release. fructose is a very bad choice of carbs for CBL...
No, no, I train at 11 everday during the week. V-ball is just something I have done for years now during the summer. Gotta get out and do something during the week, its a nice break. I was just trying to find something new to eat is all. But whole reason I asked was because I was assuming it was fructose and I wanted to know what others thoughts were. I would never consider 3 games of sand V-ball enough to be backloading for!!
if fructose doesn't really raise insulin levels, can I eat some fruits during ULC periods? Or drink a glass of juice mixed with water?
