    post workout proteins

    Hey all, Im new to this forum, was using a Men's Fitness Mag. one, but it seems to have died in the last couple months. Quick rundown on stats and then to the meat of the post:

    5'8", 157, 26 yrs old. Just started lifting in October, use to do manual labor, then woke up 5 years later behind a desk 20 lbs heavier with a belly instead of a stomach... Anyway, moving on..

    Long story short I have recently lost some ground due to a couple days of heavy drinking, and poor nutrition. Im now back on track but Im curious as to post-workout shakes. Curious as the amount of protein I should try to take in after my workout. I use Beverly Ultimate Muscle (20g p, 5g f, 3.5g carb, 80:20 casein:whey) and usually just use 1-1.5 scoops. Also I've read that protein is absorbed better post workout when combined with carbs, how true is this, and how much of a concern should it be to adding back to my gut by taking in alot of post-workout carbs? Ive read as much as double your proteins for carb amount.

    Also, when Im out of eggs etc in the morning I sometimes make a mix of 1 scoop for breakfast... figure better than skipping breakfast right? Thanks for any info you can give.

    I always have a shake of complex protein for breakfast with a banana, blueberries, and some oats. Sometimes I'll add a peach or another fruit. Then after a workout, I have a whey protien shake. Usually just with one scoop. That's just me though.

    casein is not good post workout though it's good pre bed ......cause it's digested slower..

    Yeah, I know casein is the slower protein, and because of that Ive been considering a switch to 100% whey post-workout, but since I started using my current shake I started seeing better results so Ive been sticking with it. Posted my diet in another thread, considering taking the same diet and just eating more in an attempt to gain weight.

    jodi gave you this right?

    This is a great suggestion. probably one of the best I can recommend. As for how much protein-1g is per lb of bodyweight.
