Quick question regarding spiking insulin AFTER workout

[Slaiv]

lets say i dont have dextrose or the maltodex one, but i need some sugar to spike my insulin A.S.A.P. since i JUST finished working out

i have some 30% less fat Dark Chocolate Rasinets kid size (you know the one for Halloween, where the serving size is 3 small pouches to equal the nutritional facts)

well.... what if i ate 1 small pouch? here are the macros

Cal - 67
Fat - 3g
Carb - 12g (1g is dietary fiber)
Protein - .8g

what do you guys think? 11g of it is sugar!! would that be ok? sure not a staple in my diet and spiking my insulin post workout, but if u have nothing else, would this be ok?

Just get some SweetTarts, or Smarties, they're made of Dextrose. Forget about the Dark Chocolate Rasinets.

Agreed....not the best choice but great in a pinch.

yeah the spike in insulin will store the fat as bodyfat, so try to eat any fats with carbs. Also 11g of sugar wont do too much. I put 80-100 grams of carbs (sugar) in my pwo. Any sort of simple sugar will work

Then what would you use? in a pinch?

Agreed....not the best choice but great in a pinch.
