INSULIN: The Contradiction!

[SUST-MAN]

Ok...so lets say i finish my work out at 7:00pm

I take my insulin shot at 7:15 (5iu)

I must immediatly drink 10grams of carbs + 5 grams of protien per IU...

So 50grams of carbs...and 25 grams of protien...

Doesnt this sound like NOT enough protien for a post-workout meal?

Question....HOW CAN YOU EAT THE PROPER AMOUNT OF PROTIEN POST-WORKOUT....IF YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 25 GRAMS?

2nd Question:

When do you eat the next meal....and what should it contain?
How many Carbs
How much Protien
How much fat (If any)

Thanks!

Who the hell says you can only have 25g protein?
Its eating sufficient carbs that matters. You can have all the protein you want. I've been taking 10iu post workout for a year. I eat 100g high glycemic carb and 50g protein after the shot, and then eat 700-900kcals of low glycemic carb and protein when the shot peaks.
2hrs for humulin, 30min for humalog.

ok....well what you said kind of proved my point.

You are taking 10iu....

10 grams of carbs + 5 grams of protien = 100 carbs & 50 pro

"The carb/protein drink taken after the insulin shot should contain AT LEAST 10 grams of carbs and 5 grams of quality protein per IU of insulin injected with little or no fat(creatine taken in this drink is optional but works great). " - ACNEMAN

Actually....after reading this again, i see that it says "AT LEAST"....

The only thing that i am worried about is Gaining Fat.....

Doesnt the excess Carbs & Protien turn into fat?

ALso....

I will be using Humalog....what exactly do you eat 30 min after?

thats just a guidline, u will not get fat w/ protein and carbs pst wk out, unles u take in like 300 g carbs and 250 g protien, hell if only taking 5 ius go 50/50 protien and carbs

Dont take the slin that late if you plan on going to bed over the next few hours.

Who the hell says you can only have 25g protein?

Seriously!

try to pack in as much high quality (i like isolate) in the duration as possible

Better to overcompensate on your first cycle. Fat is easy to lose.
Death is a little harder to recouperate from. If you take slin and you have never gone slightly hypoglycemic. Then you'll never really know how many carbs YOUR body needs. Insulin can be dangerous, especially if you don't know what your carb ratio is.
Find out the carbs you need and then adjust your diet.

Speak for yourself. It was a cake walk for me.
