what is in your postworkout shake

[Cuts]

What's up with Maltodextrin? I've been using Apple Juice in my post-workout shake, but I just saw on the Mendosa site that the GI of apple juice is like 56, and the GI of Maltodextrin is like 150! Is this necessarily better for post-workout? What about calories? And how's the stuff taste anyway? Thanks.

Man, now I just re-read the thread and I see DEXTROSE everywhere too! Can anybody please shed some light on these two (Maltodextrin and Dextose)? Appreciate it.

from what ive learned from this board...

these two forms of gluclose r best after weight training because they 'refuel' or replenish ure muscles the best out of any carb. fruit is not as good because it replenishes ure liver stores, which is good in terms of being healthy, but not interms of muscle replenishment.

however they should be taking in conjunction with a high protein liquid for full benefit.
i personally do not take them...though have just started taking a recovery drink straight after w/outs. It is high in carbs and most of it is sugar..this will go straight to my torn muscles, giving my muscles the fuel it needs.

please correct me if i am wrong...but thats my 2c

Thanks Rez... have some Karma.

Damn Okie! You're post-workout shake reminds me of those chemistry labs I used to snooze through ... mix this, wait 15 minutes, add that...

OKIE... sounds like you also buy from the Protein Factory!!!
I like the mix ....but do you ever use Bovine Serum in your mixes? Is it worth adding?

Thanks, I buy from them too.....

2 scoops of designer protein and 2 scoops of utlra fuel mixed with water... about 380 cals, 35 grams of protein and 45+ grams of carbs.

I do this after completing my workout which is usually around 6:45am.

I then go home and get ready for work and around 7:45 have 6 egg whites 1 yolk, 1tbs flax and a bowl of oatmeal.

That is right.. You'll want to take high gi carbs and quick digestive protein (whey) post workout for optimal performance and recovery.

Yeah, I really like the Protein Factory...I have never added the Bovine Serum, but have heard good things about it. I do like the Night Formula before bedtime, except for the thickness.

I am currently using a 28 g Whey and about 65 g carbs (dex) post workout....

OKIE.. Last question.....your post-workout shake..... Have you ever tried the post-workout formula? Hydro 520 and Dex/Maltodex carbs? Yours seems like it should help keep you anabolic for a little longer with the diff types of protein....I feel the dextrose is a little hard on my stomach? I may change the dex to maltodextrin.
Thanks.....
