do i want gatorade with my protein post workout

[Sub-Zero]

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.

awsome!! this is like what mr plunkey was suggesting.

do u do the nap between pw shake and pw meal?

i cant wait till tomorrow to try this.

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?

You did say you are trying to gain lean mass correct?

I am pretty much NOT in agreement with much of what I am seeing here. Unless your diet is extremely lean and strict, you don't need all this sugar. Its as if you are ready to hike through the Sahara or embark on the Eco-challenge. Not trying to be sarcastic, but thats a shitload of sugar. Its not like you are going to become hypoglycemic or anything. Hell, eat a bit size snickers if you feel that way. I imagine you would be fine though. Why the heck do you need a large insulin spike immediately post workout? If you are trying to keep your metabolism high, this will surely plummet it directly into the toilet. Its really simple; keep the calories constant throughout the day, protein/carb/fat ratio correct once it is 'determined' and water intake high. Treat the body like a machine and it will respond exactly as you want it too.

Try something like a clean protein carb source post workout. A shake is fine, drinkable and fast. Beverly Mass Maker is what I have used. Drink water with a Glutamine supplement with BCAA's (branch chains) in it throughout the workout to keep your strength and energy up, catabolic effect down. I wouldn't have eaten but 3 hrs prior to workout and after post workout shake, wait another 3 hrs to eat again. Drink 1 gal of water per 100/lbs of body weight.

20g of carbs worth of oatmeal isn';t enough I'd say. That's a 200kcal meal. How much do you weigh? If it's like 180 and you're trying to put on lean mass, I'd say shoot for around 3000kcal a day in mostly whole foods. Natural peanut butter, tuna, chicken, steak, eggs, oatmeal, rice (brown rice if you're picky about eating clean but I don't think it matters much), yams, baked potatoes, etc.

Some things are higher GI than others but if you eat it with meat and some veggies it shouldn't matter much - like the potatoe for instance. When not dieting, my "cheat" is like a trioplex bar I eat most days of the week, usualy at night. I don't eat the bar when dieting but I doubt that'd hurt you much if at all either if everything else is looking pretty good.

I also eat a lot of whole grain breads with natural peanut butter. Bread isn't ideal but it's always served me well. I eat it that too when dieting and I think with something as on the fence as whole grain bread with natural PB it doesn't much matter if your other meals are rolled oats, tuna, chicken, veggies, etc.

I stand by my advice. I honestly think what I told you is logical and couldn't work much better if at all. Not trying to say anybody else is wrong but no one I've ever had do a diet like that didn't gain lean mass and strip bodyfat.
