I read a nutrition article on how you shouldn’t have any starchy carbs except breakfast and after workout. I run cross country and was wondering if it would be ok to have starch at night after a good hour and a half workout. If not, then basically I’m having no starch at all except breakfast, and that gets boring faaaasst.
Yes. You can eat anything you want, whenever you want.
You’re still VERY skinny. Just fucking eat. Seriously. Eat, thats it. You’re running XC, eat more.
You’re overcomplicating things way too much.

Well I think you answered your question already. After your workout you should have no problem consuming carbs. As a cross country runner I wouldn’t worry too much about it. The article you read…who was it written for? I am guessing you did not read that in a runner’s magazine. Be careful if you are reading nutrition articles for weightlifters, as the nutrition requirements may be different for you.
i’m confused. you said starches are good in the morning and after workouts and then you ask if they’re good after you workout.
you answered your own question before you asked it.
If you are running cross country, I presume bodyweight is not likely a big issue for you now, nor are you too concerned about body comp. Just eat healthy.
WTF are you reading articles about dieting for?
Well I was wondering because on rosstraining.com it said that you shouldn’t consider running a “workout”.
Mainly, what I would like to know, does the body respond good to carbs and protein after cardio like it does after lifting or no?

-
Stop analyzing your carb intake unless you feel like you are not getting enough carbs.
-
Eat carbs.
-
Find an information source geared towards runners like yourself. If you are running cross country, and trying to build muscle…eating too many carbs is the least of your worries.
Good luck.
Kiddo, you have to stop splitting hairs and confusing yourself.
In many cases people should read a lot, and exercise more. Not Yours.
Keep It Simple-
Eat like a shark.
(This does NOT mean go do a bunch of research on the eating habits of sharks)
