For your post workout meal, your carbs should be in the form of glucose/dextrose. This form of carbohydrate will replenish your muscle glycogen. Most fruit juice carbs are in the form of fructose which will not replenish muscle glycogen. If your going to go with fruit juice use grape juice, it has a GI of 70. One of the members gave me that info on grape juice. IMHO, your post workout meal should be your only meal high in carbs (glucose/dextrose). I'm not one to critique diets, but I'd say your carbs are to high overall. I always try to keep them to a minimum. Getting just enough to keep up my energy levels.

**Prince** · 06-21-2001, 10:42 AM

If possible, you would be better off making it 6 meals rather than 5.

Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

LogreBeast · 06-26-2001, 07:13 PM

Prince, he has 6 meals up there.

KabooM · 06-26-2001, 10:08 PM

Too much fruits...

MightyKing · 06-26-2001, 11:31 PM

Damn boy, enough carbs?

w8lifter · 07-03-2001, 06:19 PM

Broadstreet.....can you give an example of a glucose/dextrose carb?

MightyKing · 07-03-2001, 11:51 PM

What kind of tuna do you eat? 1 can of the tuna I eat has 37g protein.

Your carb sources all suck. Fructose, lactose, and high GI complex carbs. I would also switch the percentages around, add some protein and drop some carbs. I also notice a lot of sodium, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't going to help you look lean.

I'm not Broadstreet, but dextrose is a corn sugar (you can just buy the stuff pure, too) and glucose is what all carbs ultimately end up as (fructose acts differently, though...and so does lactose).

BroadStreet · 07-05-2001, 07:34 AM

w8lifter, like supreme says, dextrose is simply corn sugar. I only use it in my post workout shake since it is excellent to take with creatine. I prefer maltodextrin as a carb source in my other shakes. Dextrose is cheap, you can get it from home beer suppliers. I get it for a dollar a pound. BTW, Supreme, thanks again for the help on that post workout shake sometime back. It's sweet as hell, but I added some lemon juice to cut the sweetness. It doesnt taste bad at all.

bharminder · 07-11-2001, 03:36 PM

so would oatmeal or rice or pop tarts or somethin like that be good for a post workout meal(the carb part at least)
