    well , i have a doubt.
    what would be better for p/wo:

    a shake of dextrose + maltodextrin + whey or
    a shake of banana + whey

    the pros of the 1st shake is that it has a higher insulin and glycemic index than the 2nd , so thats a thing you want post w/o. I think that the disvantages are that its a lot of empty calories (glucose)

    The pros of the 2nd , its a natural food , with a good glycemic index , and with vitamins and minerals. The cons i think is the fructose content of the banana , like any other fruit , who has a low metabolism , so , a thing that we really dont want p w/o , but it also has a good amount of glucose...

    so ... toughts ?

    I'ld put all three. I know people that slam back 100g of carbs solely from dextrose after a workout. I like the tapered effect, so i combine multiple types of carbs. Glucose plus maltodextrin plus fructose from the banana is great IMO. My appetite is surpressed after hard workouts so it takes me a while to get hungry. The mixture helps me from crashing before I get to eat solid food. Tastes better too than straight dextrose/malto which is a bit too sweet for my tastes.

    I like my shakes with whey, egg, bannana, oats, honey, and brandy.

    oats>>carb powders.

    Well, if you were really trying to gain weight, the first would be better.

    But generally I like to stick to whole foods, so I'd go with the banana.

    as far as I know oats are complex, and since this is a post w/o thread, complex is not what he's looking for now is it
     
  10. Im 5"10 174lbs, how much malto and dextrose should i add to my post workout shake? im tryng to get up to 180 or so. I feel like 30 of each would be good?(dont know why i feel this though)

    You could intake as many as 60g of each, Cody, but I'd start out smaller. Start out with 40g of each and 30g-40g of protein.

    It's a great source of complex carbohydrates, protein, and fat:
