Subject: How many carbs to replenish?
I want to stay moderately low carb to maintain recent weight loss, but want to fully feed my cells to be strong for the next workout. I know that there are probably too many variables here to get a specific answer, but how do you figure out what your body needs to be replenished after a workout without replacing calories that you want to be taken from fat reserves?

I'm new, so workouts are not over an hour so I figure 20 g carbs is plenty for pre-workout. There must be a set amount of carbs that cells will take in after a workout, I don't want to eat anymore than that.

Hope this makes sense.
