Thanks Joe D! You actaully one of the main guys I wanted to answer my question.

So a good PW shake would be: 50g whey, glutamine, bcaa, creatine, banana.
How much dextrose??

I'd like to hear what the best pwo carbs are... When I first started all i ever heard about was dextrose and maltodextrin. Mine was 30g protein, 30g dex, and 30g malto. Since then I've changed a little, got tired of order the stuff and just went with chocolate milk or whey and a banana, or 2 pieces of white bread.

Has there been in change in the theories of post work out carbs recently?

Cheerios are killer post workout.

Depending on your goals, kids cereal, low fat poptarts, skittles lol

I prefer to chew my food, so pwo I go home and eat a meal. Usually lean protein and a starchy carb with minimal fat.

You can't go wrong with rice, oats, and potatoes regardless of goals.

For a shake based meal I like whey powder mixed with flavored instant oatmeal. You can get real creative with the flavors here too.

yea i prefer to eat food thats why i never have shakes . evan when dieting i have kids cereals pre n post work out its just the amounts i change plus eating things like that while dieting makes it a doddle to stick to your macs . potatoes n rice are really perfect pwo because of the type of starch they have .

I typically add 2tbsp of dextrose to my post-workout BCAA drink, glass of milk or whey shake (if I can stomach it). 30g of high GI carbs seems to help my small muscles recover from glycogen depletion faster, though I've noticed little difference in the large muscles (Granted 30g may not be enough for a large muscle like the quad, though I'm paranoid of over-carbing and fat gain). I can find 1.2kg bags of dextrose at the local super-market for 3.99$.

tuna omlet??? kudos to you for being able to put that down.

I use waxy maize with my whey isolate and creatine and it works great no bloat and no gut.. Dextrose is garbage it will make you bloated and FAT, you dont want that. waxy mazie is so light on my stomach that i get real hungry after 10 minutes of drinking it.. Banana is my second choice.

I beg to differ about the Dextrose...

I've used this exclusively for the past 5 months in my PWO protein shakes and I am 7% BF (started at 17%).

Obviously if you use this multiple times a day anything will make you fat...but the point of the Dextrose is to elevate your insulin levels through a process of hormonal manipulation which will make your body respond more efficiently ensuring all carbs are used for muscle growth, instead of fat storage.

i agree dextrose is not bad , after all its what all carbs are converted into and end up floating around the blood stream , no macronutriant is bad its the amounts and times there eaten that makes them bad .when you think about it glucoze is perfect around w/o time its what your muscles will find easiest to refill glycogen .
