Post work out drink ...

[TerraNoble]

I am cutting now and I was wondering how much whey proteine and dextrose do you drink after a workout?
Percentagewise, how much dextrose do you add?

I have a regular shake, roughly 45 gr of protein. I used honey instead of dextrose, about 1-2 tbsp. I assume the dextrose amount would be comparable to that.

Hi Gymtime

WOuld honey be a good subsitute for dextrose?
Honey had a lower Gi than dextose and I was wondering if would be enough!

I try to have about 60g of maltodextrin and 40g of whey. If I have some vanadyl sulfate and chromium laying around, I will take a megadose of that shit, even though the VS gives me a minor headache (it really works for me, though).

I have a meal within 90 minutes, usually.

The amounts depend on your body weight. I weigh about 155.

Maltodextrin seems to spike my insulin more effectively than anything else. I have not tried dextrose, however.

I have a shake with 60% malto, 40% protein and 0% fat
Im buying all my supplements from protein factory although I really like Nature Best MRP it has 300cal 0%fat 50grams protein and 25gr carbs
When Im in Europe, where my family lives I use to drink Carbo Power made my Nature Best Europe or even better "Alpen Cereal no suggar added" with 1 scoop of vanilla whey with some milk! uhmm I cant wait to go back home

for me its 44whey shake and gatorade

 

[110%]

im cutting, i get 110 carbs a day, and 75 of that comes from dextrose postworkout, i also have 50 grams whey post workout.

gymtime, i c u said u ate honey, i used to think this was a good source postworkout though isnt it majority fructose, and doesnt that refill liver glycogen not muscle glycogen?

Stay away from the honey!

Go with the higher gi after the workout. Stick with the dex!

I'm not real sure on this one guys. I went with the honey just because it was recommended as an alternative to dextrose, which I'm sure is a lot better. However, it is also more expensive.

110 - You might be right on that. Until now, I didn't know there was a difference between liver and muscle glycogen stores. I just figured I'd go with what I had since honey's a little more available than dextrose is. Might have to rethink that after this thread though.

What do you guys think about gatorade and whey protein?
Does gatorade have a hig GI?
