do i want gatorade with my protein post workout

what you are doing is perfect, but give the sugar a 20 so 30 minute head start, then put-in the protein. You lose the catabolic-to-anabolic reversal benefit of the sugar if you slow down its absorbtion with protein.

completely wrong.

I just felt like arguing with mrplunkey.

You could probably take up to 70g simple carbs post workout and not get fat (well fatter than you already are, fatty).

You take the sugar to drive your body back into an anabolic state and to replentish glycogen stores that you've used during exercise. Then the protein behind it (use something fast, like whey) for your body to rebuild muscles with.

Protein or fat slows down the sugar absorbtion rate, and you don't want that. You want a big-ass insulin spike.

good to know man.

so should i have gatorade powder right after i workout, then get home and have my protein like 20-30 min later?

then when should i eat my pw meal, like an hour later? i normally eat every 2-3 hours but i figure since it all is fast acting an hour after for pw meal is good?

I would eat a fast digesting carb right away with a protein shake then cook up something that isn't necessarily fast or slow digesting.

Uhh, I wouldn't think so. Unless you're taking creatine and you wouldn't want to eat protein with it. But I usually always get at least two of the following in one meal: carbs, protein and fats. Eating them together isn't bad. Just don't eat fats PW.
