I've heard from numerous people that fructose will only support restoration in the liver and not restoration of muscle glycogen. Is there any truth in this b/c I generally use fruits as a pwo source as well...

Re: OMEGA Blue Collar Diet (Phase 1 first 6 weeks)

they say its preferentially re-glycogenates the liver

but there are enough "other Carbs" to give the full spectrum of absorption.

It comes down for me just making me FEEL BEST, there is just something about a bit of real juice that feel so good, and it works best.

dont get caught up in myths/some science that demonizes fruit and juices

I work 7p - 7a atleast three days a week startig the 4 days a week until our little one comes in Janurary.

I do my days all in a row
first day wake up about noonish
eat breakfast
hit the gym about 3 pm get a PWO shake at Golds
come home cook something for work. head into work about 615 pm
we get our lunch break aroud 2-3 am depending how busy the ER is.
get off around 715 am and head home I try to eat something and this is where part of problem comes in. What do i eat at 730 i the morning. I try to hit the sack about 830 or so.

day 2 i get up arpund 330 eat something quick and high protien head to the gym if there is time and the same routine as far as eating goes

day 3 get up around 330 or 4 and eat something usually dont workout go to work and get off at 715 sometimes i will hit the gym knowing that i am not working the next night so i ca stay up a little later to eat something.


any suggestions on food and timing?

I do have time sometimes to go in the back and drink a couple of 1% milk in the school cartons. They have about 11 grams of protien each.

hmm no easy answer

I would depend on the Liquid part of the diet for when you know you can eat enough at work


Makes sure you pack alot of protien
( you biggest meal in the Solid Meal After you workout : within 3 hours) that should be enough to keep gains coming

Question regarding the carb source in the post-workout shakes...

I buy and use this stuff called "FrescAvena" (Spanish) and its actually an oats beverage mix you add to milk. Nutrition for a 2 tbsp serving is 120 calories, 27g carbs, and 20g sugar. Top 2 ingredients are dextrose and oat flour.

Is this stuff suitable to use or should I just buy a tub of maltodextrin?
If its okay, how many tbsp's should I put in my shake? 2 tbsp = 27g carbs/20g sugar

LOL OLD SCHOOL!

I grew up on that stuff too. Now they have the flavors like strawberry and such...
