Protein & Carb During Workout

IanTheo · 04-04-2008, 11:54 PM

Hey guys, I read Layne Norton's post about the pre-contest advice (I'm cutting). He suggest consuming a shake composed of 30-40g of whey protein along with dextrose or maltodextrin during their workout.

My question is, could I just drink skim milk instead of protein shake and dextrose during workout?

Thanks,

milk could sour in the stomach and you could puke it up.

The body temperature rises and the milk has a much higher chance of showering than the other things.

I drank my whey in fat free lactose free milk and I never puked it up.

I tried drinking a cup of milk during workout yesterday, and my stomach felt fine.

I want to know if the carb & protein that you get from drinking milk (though you get lesser protein) are similar to those you get from consuming protein shake & dextrose (ones you take during workout)?

Layne recommends to take simple carb during workout to prevent muscle breakdown.
