Best Post WO Carb Source?

[tom5933]

Looking to add some more carbs to my Big Blast for Post WO. Was going to go with CytoCarb II but it seems like that isn't as good as I thought it was? What would a good source of Post WO carbs be if CytoCarb isn't any good?

Perfect Carb by LG Sciences, Fresh fruit and Pop Tarts

Thanks, i'll look into that. What do you guys think of Protein Factory's Rilose? Also why does it say there is 99 carbs per serving of Rilose but only 330 calories? That doesn't add up.

Ground Oats or Oat Powder.

The question comes down to a few factors:

-How long before a workout you eat and what does the food consist of
-What type of workout you do
-How long you workout for
-How many times a day you workout

... All of these questions will answer whether or not you have a glycogen depletion or not. Glycogen depleting workouts would be long distance running or longer workouts (3-4 hours). My guess is that you don't do any of these on a regular basis. If this is the case, a steady insulin and glucagon flow is necessary for sustained energy, both during and post workout.

A solid meal with good fats, protein, and complex carbs should sustain insulin quite well, in addition, if insulin is never depleted, all you'll need is a complex carb post workout such as ground oats or oat powder.

Oat powder is awesome for me, I really like it. I get the oat muscle from protein factory and it's great.

I also checked out that LG perfect carb and it's got a great ratio of carb sources, I''ll definitely be getting a couple lbs of that stuff to try out.

I also have a custom mix from PF that is 25% dextrose, 25% rilose, 25% oat powder, 25% malto. Sometimes I'll use about 40g of that and then add an extra 10g of waxy maize for a big combo.

But lately the oat muscle totally does the trick for me.
