do i want gatorade with my protein post workout

[Sub-Zero]

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.

fuck this

1) 40ish grams of simple sugar immediately after your workout. If you do creatine post-workout, do it now. Avoid protein and fat, as this will stretch-out the insulin spike you get from the sugar.

2) Then, 20-30 minutes later hit 40g-60g of fast-digesting protein, such as whey.

3) After that, if you can, sleep. It makes a huge anabolic difference.

4) Your next meal should be when you are hungry. If you've waited at least 1-2 hours post-sugar hit, a fat/protein/carb combination is fine. Really you just want to avoid fats while you still have your sugar buzz from step (1)

Perfect! And I hate to say this, but I bet the hour nap will do as much good as the eating combination.

I never got as big and cut as I did when I always slept soon after a workout.

Where are you guys getting this protein slows down the absorption bidness? I'm not saying it's false necessarily, since I have no studies to back myself up either, but whey is a much faster digesting protein than are caseinates. Whey is in your bloodstream right quick. I usually start sipping my gatorade around mid-way through my workout and then finish it at the end. About 10-15 minutes later I down my protein shake. About 45g of simple carbs and 40g of whey protein. I usually range from 400-500kcal post-workout in liquid form and only toggle with the carbs really. Bulking, they're higher, dieting they're lower but not usually below 40g.

so you are suggesting gatorade during the workout, then when i get home have ANOTHER shake of protein and MORE simple sugared gatorade?

keep in mind im natural

No. Sorry for the confusion. I drink IN TOTAL 45g of sugars and 40g of whey. I just space the 45g out - half during my workout cause it tastes good and tricks me into thinking I'm more powerful with temporary super strength and stuff, then I finish whatever's left at the end of my workout. I then go drink a whey shake. Then about an hour and a half later I eat a meal.

And the same rules apply to natural versus less-than-natural. Your body doesn't change or anything.
