Do you mean high glycemic carb in the pwo shake or in the meal one hour after? It it is the first option I might agree, not the second.

solid food would be best. the PWO shake is not a meal, you are simply replacing what was (or should have been) oxidized during the training session. your body mostly likely still has a negative protein balance at this point (it is catabolic), the PWO shake is for recovery only.

if you are spiking insulin with your PWO shake is this especially important as your serum insulin levels will be low. you need a balanced meal here with a qualtiy protein, low GI carbs and some fats to help get your body back in a anabolic state...

I usually eat about an hour or an hour and a half after my post workout meal. Typically a big sandwhich (lots of sandwhich meat) with some other kind of moderate GI carb. Seems to work well for me.

You need to incorporate those calories from your pwo shake as a meal

High GI carbs in pwo shake but NOT in the meal after the shake. See explanation above from LAM.

Are you suppose to have fat in your post workout meal? Someone told me to just have high gi carbs and protein.

Fats are ok in pwo meal NOT in pwo shake.
