I know the body needs a fast release protein after workout, and a slow release protein at bedtime, and in the past I've been taking Promax protein, Recover after workout, etc.
Lately I'm trying to save a bit on supplements.
So, at bedtime and between meals I'm just having boiled egg whites, is this a good choice?
Now, I still need a quick release protein to drink after workout, but I also know you shouldn't drink plain protein after workout, because protein takes longer than carbs to digest, and a long digestion would waste the window of oppurtunity.
Also, the body needs the insuline spike of carbs to drive the protein in the muscles.
Now, done these considerations, I was considering to spare some money on one supplement only: I could buy some plain whey protein or a recovery drink such as Maximuscle's Recover.
I'd rather prefer buying plain protein, as it's more versatile in its use that a recovery drink you are supposed to drink only after the workout (and it'd be cheaper), but I still need quick digestible carbs with it. I was thinking to add dextrose to it, or maybe to eat a banana with it.
Is a banana as quickly digestible as a carbohydrate drink?
Is it ok to add plain dextrose to protein?
I mean, what is the quantity of dextrose the body can handle after a workout without becoming bodyfat?
For last, how is prolab's Pure Whey as a post workout protein? I know is not as good as Promax or the Prolab's advanced one, because I've given a look at the aminos composition, but it's much cheaper and I'm not a hardcore bodybuilder (I've been doing it for 2 years, I'm toned now, I want to get a bit bigger, but I'm not aiming to be huge).
