PWO Meal

[hicktown]

TweetWhat do yall think of this shake? I take it immediately upon waking up and right after the gym. Sometimes Ill drink it before bed too.

2% Milk - 10 OZ - Pro 9G Carb 13G
1 Cup Oats - Pro 5G Carb 27G
Protein Powder - Pro 24G Carb 3G

Equal to a total of Pro 38G Carb 43G

Should I add more carbs?

Tweeti would say add in more protein to around 50-75g and make sure you are having those high gi carbs in the 50-100g range as well. myself personally its 100g whey and 150g carbs

Tweetthanks for the response Guns

I remember reading on a forum that anything over 50G protein is a waste, im more than happy to increase it!

Oats are a low gi carb, what should I swap instead?

i dont agree at all with the over 50g being a waste of course that's my opinion and i eat 1lb of protein with all of my meals. that's me and i am pretty good sized and under 12%. as for carbs my personal fav choice post workout is banana flavored baby food oatmeal. it gives it a good kick and it's much faster than normal oats with the sugars added. kind of a best of both worlds for me

TweetGreat little tip with the baby oatmeal brother!! I always kept my protein intake around 35-50g because I believed what ppl said about not being able to absorb that many grams of protein...but clearly you can ingest more, just look at you Guns and all the damn pros!

TweetYea I'm not a big fan of the shake post workout for more than 1 reason. The fat from the milk along with the oats is going to creat a slow digest. Replace with non fat milk and it will speed up as no fat will be present. Also the protein is just to low. I shoot for 50-75 grams at every feeding.

TweetPost Workout your body weather on cycle or not is in a very anabolic state, meaning your protein synthesis is near doubled than at normal times of the day. Its in this window utilizing as much protein as you can will help aid in repair, Here is my PWO regiment.

During Workout I'm sipping on 20g BCAA and Dextrose

Post Workout:
Immediately After - 3 Scoops Isolate 72g Protein - 20-30g Dextrose - 5g Creatine Mono - 1 Cup Oats
35-45 min later - 10-12 OZ Lean Meat (Chicken/Turkey/Fish) - 1 Cup White Rice
1-1.5 Hours Later - 8oz Lean Meat - 1 Medium/Large Yam

TweetI don't drink a shake after a work out. I just wait until eat. I drink a protein shake once a day at 8 in the morning with my two pb and j. That's the only shake I drink. But I eat 10 pounds of just meat a week and eat about 7 dozen eggs. I'm not exaggerating at all. I weigh 238 lbs today. And probably 10 to 12% bf. I eat all day long full meals every two hours. I used to drink lots of protein. I dont any more because its outrageous expensive. And food food gets you swole. I'm sure I would grow more if I was supplementing with more protein. But for now I'm doing it like this good luck.

TweetYea, you want to take in the max amount of protein you can each meal, or your wasting a chance to grow. I drink a 50g shake pwo and then have a full meal asap.
