By the way 1/2 cup oats give you 27 grams of carbs no 54.

Ooops, didn't notice its steel cut, the regular old fashioned oatmeal 1/2 cup is 27.

yams or sweet potatoe has high molecular wegith strach in it that will help shuttle larger amounts of nutrients into the cells.
it is up to 3000 times potent than dextrose.

interesting, didn't know that. by potent you mean its effects on insulin levels? so you recommend to cut the gatorade and pound a sweet potato with my protein after the gym? thanks for all the advice.

could you delve into this a little more, im pretty interested in the topic of digestion(med student). gatorade is higher on the glycemic index than sweet potatos, so it should have a greater effect on insulin levels. which means greater ability to pull the sugar into cells for storage as glycogen. also, i can't find evidence that sweet potatoes have a lot of high molecular weight carbs. but, couldn't really find much in a quick search. found evidence to the contrary: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/conten...e?format=print

Search Waxy Maize. This is the commercial name for Amylopectin, a high molcular starch found in Corn, Potatoes, yams.

oh gotcha, a waxy maize supplement, yes it absorbs much faster than dextrose.

Most people don't use steel cut oats (although they are the best!) because they are not common in grocery stores and are more expensive... Normal, old-fashioned oats have the macros listed by smokethedays at half a cup...

gatorade works, but there are far better choices like those listed by both Phate and smokethedays... Gatorade is loaded with sodium as well as sugars and the bulk of the sugar found in gatorade is high fructose corn syrup which not readily utilized by the body

good advice, will change the gatorade. the sodium levels are high (96mgs/serving) but i figure that im depleted after the workout anyway. also, there is no high fructose corn syrup in gatorade powder (mostly sucrose and dextrose).
