Fruit juice, you dont need a ton of stuff right after your workout other than some kind of sports drink/fruit juice and a protein shake like half hour after.....

**LILLEN** · 02-15-2005, 01:40 PM

you need something liquid. eating meet and stuff takes to long for your body to absorb. Do that after 30 min.

Some sort of protein shake immediately after is best. I like about 60 grams of whey protien.

**longhorn814** · 02-15-2005, 02:05 PM

40-60 grams of protein after workout along wiht some fast acting carbs. You can use a weight gainer w/ carbs or chug some gatorade. Eat some low GI carbs and protein a couple hours afterwards too

So Give Some Examples Of Fast Acting Carbs? Thanks Bananas Etc

**cpt steele** · 02-15-2005, 02:28 PM

dextrose maltodextrin fruitose

**tycin** · 02-15-2005, 02:32 PM

dextrose and gluatamine 15 min later have 50g of protein in a shake

Gatorade is not optimal PWO. 80 grams Dextrose, and 40 grams protein.(or 100/50)

Yeah it has some dextrose, but not alot. There's a thread in the diet forums where swolecat addresses this. I'm not saying Gatorade is bad for pwo, but like I said it is not optimal. THe best is pure dextrose.
