3 double chocolate chip cookies from Subway post workout?

[dzuljas]

its not that bad, the cookies have a lot of high GI carbs which u would eat neway in your post workout drink

well that's why I said "post workout." Just some quick sugar.

I really don't have an alternative other than the mass drinks or the bread from my tuna sandwhich.

If you want quick sugar you are better off drinking a soda which is loaded with corn syrup. 3 cookies is never a good idea, even when bulking. Cookies have fat in them which slows absorbtion, so even postworkout they are worthless. Buy some dextrose and use it postworkout, or buy powdered gatorade which is mostly dextrose, and tastes better, I mix it with Prolab Creatine, cause they use Creapure. Also what's they point of drinking a Protein shake that has only 4 grams of carbs when you eat 3 cookies with it, you could buy a protein shake that already has carbs in it. It would probably be healthier than what you've been doing, and it should taste much better too.

How about just eating ONE cookie? You'll get the slight GI/insulin spike to drive the nutrients into the muscle cell. The fat in the cookie will slow down absorption somewhat. Assuming that you are pounding 55 grams of whey, slowing part of that down, should help your body handle it better anyway. Moderation is key. One cookie is OK. More than that is not OK.

Leave the cookies alone. They are worthless, at ANY time of the day.

Goddamn it, when the fuck will people stop looking for excuses to eat junk?

 

[Synpax]

heheh, when junk stops tasting so good.

 

[STEP OFF]

dont shoot yourself over it, consider it a reward ... just dont make it a habit

Its those secret Subway cookie additives that bring down grown men and women into quantity eaters over quality. I knew that their sandwhiches tasted funny (additives).

Don't lose hope.

It's far better than eating nothing post workout but definetely not an ideal selection. If it's the cookies or nothing, I say eat the cookies, but I'm sure you can come up with something more sensible to eat.
