Peanut Butter in Protein Shakes

[bigbadmadmanD]

Will Peanut Butter slow down the utilization of whey protein in my post-workout shakes? And if so, could I use PB instead of flax to slow down the absorption of a pre-bedtime shake?

Fat is fat, you can use olive oil, PB, Flax, etc etc etc.

I sleep for 10-12 hours a night, so absortion needs to be slowed a lot, for the past couple months ive been attempting to bulk and been eating close to a whole jar of NPB a night

Nothin better than sittin down with a spoon, gallon of water, and jar of PB. My wife bitches when i start using my hands to grab last PB stuck to inside of jar, but them sticky fingaz come in handy later.

Hold on a sec. I am trying to get ripped. Is the peanut butter going to make me fat if I use it?

 

[NaturallyRippedChick]

do all fats slow down protein absorption?

 

[Lguy00]

all depends on your metabolism.

do all fats slow down protein absorption?

yes !

which is a good point with your last shake (before bed)

but you should avoid adding fat with your post workout protein (as you want it to be quickly digested)

thanks anthrax for the clear answer, i will save my PB for my late night shakes, itll be hard to resist but ill try

This will help you lose fat as long as you don't eat the whole jar of natural PB!

The intake of mono/poly unsat fat (nat PB, CLA, Flaxseed) will let your body know it is okay to burn off its fat reserves. Now you are sliced and diced.

Never take any kind of fat with your post w/o shake(s). You want the nutrition to get into the body ASAP.

Anthrax is on the bal, but I wouldn't eat a whole F'n jar of PB unless your a bulking up. Calories man calories!!! It's all about your diet, nutrition is the key to success unless you have surgey, hehe

any of you guys take ZMA? if so it says to take it 30-60 min before bedtime preferably on an empty stomache, so how do go about your last protein shake as well as the zma?

thanks

 

[riskybizz007]

Calcium is the problem, not protein. I don't take ZMA, I use zinc monomethionine which IMO that's all you need for the effects of ZMA. (Along w/ your multi's w/ meals). When you think about it you'll see ZMA is really a rip off.

 

[bpdaddy]

yeah what riskybizz007 said!

I agree ZMA is a F'n waist of $$$ you can get from MRP, Multi, or buy it .

 

[moosecles]

might be a waste, but since on zma ive noticed ive been getting some good sound sleep and a lil increased libido which maybe irrelevant, but im just saying what i feel. I do take my multi everyday, i guess zma works well for certain people (zinc defficient) and not at all for others.

peace

peanut butter WILL NOT slow down the metoblization of whey. any qualtiy whey supplement has a high ratio of BCAA's which are metabolized directly by muscle tissue.

adding dietary fiber is the only thing "proven" to slow down the metabolization of some proteins. Fibersol or Fibersol II are your best bets.

Protein only meals should never be eaten as they can casue a negative insulin response. proteins should always be consumed with a portion of carbs and fats for a balanced meal. that is how you maintain healthy eating habbits.
