Whats the best POSTWORKOUT meal?

[youngguns]

I go for sixty grams of whey protein minimum (I prefer in milk so so a few extra grams for that!!) ... sometimes more if I'm in the mood... that's just directly following workout... cottage cheese and some pineapple with a lil sugar is nice before bed... or substitute in whatever fruit you prefer... but pineapple is all time favorite... or you can try coyttage cheese and and a bit of honey... that's tasty too but not my first choice... but it's not to bad... or even just a lil sugar... but that's kinda like a nice snack before bed!! just a sufggestion there's lots alternatives... just cotage cheese is pretty high in protein... what is yor diet before training??

It would be more benifcial to drink it with water after a workout, because casein (a protein in milk) will slow down digestion, similar to the banana deal.

yes my pre is milk post is water. plus your body gets dehydrated after a workout so it needs water

Protein Whey (40-50grams) One scoup of weight gainer, some oats

Don't I need higher glycemic carbs like white bread or potatoes? I thought oats wasn't a good POST workout carb

in a meal later they're ok, but POST workout like immediately after should be maltodextrin. cheap and easy

Yes I don't know why I didn't say, but DURING and AFTER I split a 80malto carb drink, then right that the shake I mentioned, I put oats at the bottom of the shake, takes me about 30 minutes to drink it then I chew the oatmeal at the bottom, yum, not.

When bulking post workout I'll have sugar immediately (chocolate bar or piece of cake) and 50-60g protein shake. shortly after that lots of oatmeal, but I don't measure it, I eat about as much as I can stomach. Its ok to eat like that post workout, even if right before bed, because its right after workout.

Whey protien shake fast acting and you need protien within 20-30 minutes following a workout.

hey CO-B man can I pm ya an important question?

 

[TEX25]

I usually train at night and I'm wondering if I should still eat(or drink) carbs right after I train. Also, I have every type of protein except soy-what should my postworkout shake/meal consist of? I'm not dieting for a show yet but I don't want to put extra fat on-any help would be appreciated.

How much time between the time that you are finished with your workout and the time you go to bed is important here. Fill us in.
