Postworkout simple carbs while CUTTING: Yay or nay

[KWKSLVR]

Hell, all I know is that I NEVER put on muscle when cutting like I do now that I take dextrose PWO. I never came close and I've done it all, ckd, atkins, etc.

I doubt adding in dextrose will make that big a difference...

well 75 grams is 300 calories

so if you work out 5 times per week

it's about a 1,500 calorie difference per week if you do or do not put it in your after workout shake

between 1/3 and 1/2 pound of weight I guess

protein and fat is fine for a meal after cardio. But after weights, you want dextrose and protein powder

I meant Yay. Duh.

If you're really serious about cutting you want to eat real food and not shakes. Something along the lines of 1-1 1/2 cup of rice, 8-10oz of Potato & 2 scoops of Protein Powder(Whey)in water. Some of the top bodybuilders don't use post-workout drinks at all, just whole food.

How does dextrose compare to fruit post-workout?

Also, would you have one or both?

I beg to differ. Your muscles need it for repair. Faster recovery will yield more muscle gain which will yield faster metabolism.

First time I hear that

You mean that after a weight lifting workout, they don't drink a shake of protein + high GI carbs but a whole food = P+C+F ?

Why ?

Yeah. that what I have always thought and done. A guy write that a diet that wrote his diet should have proteins and fats and no carbs for PWO. I wrote that I had always thought that you should only have proteins and fast carbs for PWO. He said that some intelligent guy that wrote the anabolic diet writes that you shouldn´t have any carbs for PWO and that he has read many articles where it says that you should only have protein and fat for PWO.
