but there after, like an hour later... do you need complex carbs or all simple carbs (sugar)

Shot of humalog, 10 min later your dex/whey drink
60 min after your shot, have your meal. my fave is ground beef and some brown rice.
So yes an hour later have complex carbs, and if your BG is low consume sugar... but otherswise complex are fine

Simple or complex carbohydrates, either one is fine. However, because fat gain is my enemy, I use only simple carbohydrates throughout the whole insulin activity period, so as to not take in any unnecessary carbs as these will be stored as fat. Once the insulin is no longer active, I eat as I usually do.
As I said above, both simple or complex is fine, but complex carbs seem to digest slower, therefore the chances of anything being left over later on are high when compared to simple carbohydratess. And the more there is left over, the more chance of fat storage. So I choose to intake simple carbs while insulin is active because the faster the carbs get digested, the better, and simple carbs does excatly that.
Good luck.

Hey bro, this is what I usually do...
PWO: "x" amount of dex, 5g creatine and 5g glutamine
PPWO (1.25hrs later): 50g simple carbs and 50g protein
PPPWO (2.00hrs later): 40g simple carbs and 50g protein
Next meal = insulin nonactive = eat as you usually do.
My stats are 225LB and 7%BF, and I have found for my weight, the nutrient intake amount I have while insulin is active keeps my BG at not too low but not too high either, and that is excatly what you want. You want just enough fuel for your body to keep out of hypo, and not too much as excess will be stored.
That is what suits me best.
