I'm about to start my new diet and a mass gaining program, in about a week that is. I've had a lot of conflicting information on post workout meals.
Here is what I have potentially....
16 oz. milk with 1 scoop of whey protein (and a banana (26 g carbs, but low GI) blended, 5 g glutamine, and ester C.
Opposed to that, i also thought about taking out the milk, replacing it with water and having a shake with 50 g of carbs (half maltodextrin, half dextrose) and 1 + 1/2 scoops of whey protein (about 30 g protein) still with the glutamine and ester c.
I'm kind of scared of maltodextrin and dextrose though because I heard it can lead to diabetes. I still want the insulin spike though?
Not sure if EFAs would be a benefit in a post workout meal or not. Any ideas?
I am 160 lbs shooting for 10lbs of lean mass over 10-12 weeks and not too much fat.
Can anyone help me? I'd really appreciate it.
