Oats After Workout Instead Of Dextrose
Hello All,
My body does not handle carbs too well (use to be very overweight and body is prone to fat storage) especially simple ones. I have read the hundreds of posts and debates on whether dextrose is needed PWO or if oats is okay, and I am going to switch to oats for now. I would rather have slightly less optimal recovery rather than fat storage from the dextrose.
I have 3 questions for those who use oats or know about the proper usage of them in the PWO shake:
1. Workout days I am to get around 150g carbs total. This would be split amongst three meals - breakfast, PWO and PPWO. Is there any particular breakdown or distribution which is better? IE. is having 50g/meal okay?
2. Many posts in the debates I read said the oats had to be cooked, and some said they did not. Any opinions?
3. If I want to have a shake which is drinkable and I will have the oats raw, can I grind them up without worrying about the GI affects?
Thanks in advance!
