What is the best amount of time to eat after taking a post workout shake??

billytk1 · 07-14-2004, 12:04 AM

I would really like to know what is the best amount of time to wait until eating a solid meal after downing a post workout shake? I usually wait about 1 1/2 - 2 hours before eating a solid meal! Is this too long to wait???

eat within an hour, preferably 30 minutes after the end of your workout.

mix carb and protein.

Vanity,

You mean eat a full meal of carbos and protein 30 mintues after having a protein shake and carbohydrates?

you can have your shake right after your workout and then have a carb/protein meal within the hour.

if you wait longer your glycogen stores will fall and you will go into a catabolic state.

this will lead to muscle loss and not gain.

I would consume a whole food meal 60 minutes after you complete the PWO shake...
