whole foods pwo

[lc1987]

hey there. can i use whole foods as my pwo or does it have to be shake?

[1buffsob]

I use oats PWO. But I feel that the protein should be quick absorbing, so I stick to whey or isolate.

yeah you can i use to use eggwhites and quickoats, afterwards.

[SPIKE]

Shakes (pref whey) will be quicker absorbing. I'll mix my shake in the locker room and by the time I'm home and out of the shower I'm already starving.

IMO a hydrolized from of fuel should come first then whole foods. Get something quicker into your body then some whole foods to follow.

Yup, a whey shake should always be taken in first. Then you can have whole foods.

Yes, many online sources that ship aswell Peter.

yes, you can use whole foods instead, and anybody who disagrees is full of horseshit. I dropped my protien shakes about 5 weeks out from my last show, and I looked better than ever!!!

Agreed. I will always go with a whole carb sources, but will usually go with whey for protein.

I've gone both ways. It really doesn't matter.

Yes. I've gone half and half along with full dex for slin administration. I don't like using dex unless it's called for. I prefer oats as I feel it gives me better results and a fuller feeling.

There isn't as far as macros. Only the way it was processed.

yeah post workout carbs i sometimes have white bread with honey, and if iv forgotten my whey i go buy chicken and mash it so much in my mouth its already basically liquid!

[novastepp]

sorry but i dont see the answer? so they are processed with sugar then... does that make one, "better"?

No added sugar bud Don't worry about it.

I think somebody was confused with the flavored sugary oatmeal

[novastepp]

nahh it wasn't the flavored stuff. i thought i read that the quick was different than the old fashioned.

thanks for clearing it up Buff...
