Take on fruit?

[bLakstang2004]

I think fruit is an excellent snack pre-bed, as long as it's low GI...Some people don't want to chug down oats before bed.

A perfect snack would be cottage cheese and an apple for example.

The rationale for this is that a minimal amount of insulin would be produced to help shuttle the protein into the muscle cells more efficiently than if you were to just eat the cc alone.

Insulin, when used correctly, can help build quality muscle.

As for the question, Not all fruit are created equal......
So choose the right ones at the right time for the right purpose

I avoid all fruit after 4:00 P.M.

By the way, fructose (fruits) = NOT the way to go Post W.O. - They replenish LIVER glycogen, NOT muscle glycogen. Get some maltodextrin + dextrose instead, foo!

If you really need fruits.. have it with either your first or second meal of the day and try to avoid high sugary fruits.. stick with apples, peaches, berries

Ypu wouldnt and you are correct.........PW meal.....immidiately after training I have a dext.,whey shake.......then my 1st PW meal comes in about 1hr later...........I usually toss in a banana to this meal to aid in digestion and reduce soreness, fatigue.......

Jkurz, I believe fruit pre-workout is the time to go if you gonna have it. Then or first thing in the morning. I believe they are the times when you need liver glycogen the most.

I can't say for sure thats true, just what i've heard.
