[bulk then cut]

is there such thing as a carb-calories ratio on a treadmill? like for example 10calories burned = 10g of carbs burned.. or something?

[Freak]

I've never heard of such a thing. Calorie per gram breakdown is as follows:

Carb: 4
Protein: 4
Fat: 9
Alcohol: 7

the treadmills are also not very accurate in anything so don't go by what they say really

[bulk then cut]

so does that mean when it says 1 calorie burned on the treadmill, i burned 4g of carbs?

[ZackKnight]

no

1g of carbs equals 4 kilocalories

im sorry im really slow/.. im confused right now

[ZackKnight]

alright, what do you need clarified?

I def wanna help you and make sure you have it straight

[julio40]

hes trying to find how many calories of carbs are burned when he does his cardio. but i wouldn't worry about that bulk than cut. i dont even think you could calculate that.

[ZackKnight]

The issue there BtC is that while ur burning carbs, ur also depleting your glycogen stores unless ur going into aerobic glycolysis where ur going into your fat storage.

But in that you're always burning your fat storages with your carbs during exercise.

The body tries to be as efficient as possible man

[bulk then cut]

alright guys, so i shouldnt worry about how much carbs im burning right/

[ZackKnight]

nope, just worry about your pre and post workout meals man. that's the best you can do

What substrate is used depends on the type of cardio.
