A question on FRUIT???
I remember reading in a thread someone suggested instead of eating a banana to eat berries. Are berries better for you? Would you suggest a different fruit or is any fruit a good choice?
thanks...

Hey gbrice75, Why do you suggest a banana post workout over other fruit? What's the reasoning?

I have seen research showing that fructose and lactose are only capable of replinishing liver glycogen due to how they are metabolized. Doesnt mean I wouldnt still throw a banana in my post workout shake.

Higher glycemic carbs generate a larger insulin response thus helping to replinish glycogen levels faster. Also the sugars are less likely to be stored as bodyfat post exercise. I usually only eat fruit in the A.M.
