if it comes to just a regular meal, whole food or shake, WHOLE FOOD. but if it comes down to shake or nothing SHAKE.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You're telling ME how to do it?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

it appears that either way works...the shake and the real food...
my question is..if i go with the shake...if i were to put just like a half of tbsp of peanut butter in my shake pwo...how much would this hinder me (absorbtion,etc.)

What is your reasoning for wanting to add it?

taste...i know that fat slows absorbtion so was just wondering if just a bit would defeat my whole purpose if adding/maintaining lbm

thanks fire

There are better choices than peanut butter but if your goal is adding/maintaining lbm then a bit of PB post workout is not going to hinder your progress especially if you are a recreational lifter just looking to add some size with no visions of competing in the near future.

I always drink a shake pre and post workout
and there are 2 reasons for this

1) If I eat solid food before or after I get sick and have a hoorible stomach issue!

2) I have talked to many people and actually tried them both.. Fast digesting proteins actually IMO work much better for immediately after training. They can actually get into your system and strt giving your muscles the nutrients quicker than say a teak can!
I agree that within an hour or 2 a good whole foods meal should be consumed but as far as right before or right after... I will choose the shake 1st everytime!

Whey protein absorbs quicker than tuna or chicken...so use it for post workout only. IMO, the body is designed for real, whole food proteins like beef, eggs, and tuna so we should use whey only for after your workout and maybe directly upon waking.
