Post Workout Nutrition

FitnessModel45 · 12-06-2007, 01:52 PM

Hey guys!
I just have 2 questions about post workout nutrition. Firstly, I'm trying to gain weight and I currently take 2 scoops of protein and 2 scoops (total 60g scoop) of dextrose immediately after my workout. I was wondering if this is enough dextrose or should I use more? Also, after my post workout shake, how long should I wait until I eat an actual meal? (with complex carbs, protein and veggies)
Thanks guys..

50-60g of dextrose is all i have PostWO with a banana, some rice cakes & creatine in some whey...

but answer to your question - eat 1-1.5 hr after PostWO meal

Definition of Dextrose

Dextrose: Better known today as glucose, this sugar is the chief source of energy in the body. Glucose is chemically considered a simple sugar. It is the main sugar that the body manufactures. The body makes glucose from all three elements of food, protein, fat and carbohydrates, but in largest part from carbohydrates. Glucose serves as the major source of energy for living cells. It is carried to each cell through the bloodstream. The cells cannot, however, use the glucose without the help of insulin. When sampled in blood, glucose is tested in transit.

i needed some clarification on dextrose as well so i googled it found this definition in the medical encyclopedia..

my question is...why do people take extra dextrose or glucose. couldnt you just easier from real food? say fruit, or anouther simple carb

The better question is why don't people do searches on issues of this nature..

This is very first grade bb'ing..

do a search where?... google, the thing about that is you get such a wide spread of information. or maybe thats just me. i like to ask questions here because i will get more of a personal response . instead of 1000 answers that kind of answer my question. if you dont feel like answering.....then dont.

LOL,, you make me laugh at your response, seeing how you only have - what 76 posts. There are 1k answers in the dungeon forum that most don't wish to look for, so they post one more thread.

I have found most if not all of my threads on the web, mainly google. Learn how to use it and get better results.

Everyone is having this issue in the dungeon these days. Everyone post a thread on a subject that has been covered 1 or 2k times over.. The search option is on the dungeon for a reason. Yet no one uses it.

Then when someone is called out because of a repost or suggested to perform a search the next time. They get ruffled feather's... Our intention is not to ruffle feathers or anger people but to get them to understand the reason behind it..

Mostly it's the ones with less than 100 post's.. YOI
