Thread: PWO Shake Recommendations PLEASE. Want high carb, high protein, low sugar, low fat.

Jodi's advice probably dead on. I used to go the high GI way, but now I love the other with yogurt, fruit oats and whey.

Cytogainer is fine for a high GI spike, but is it really needed? I think not.

waht do you put in ur post workout shake? i like oats, milk, yogurt, strawberry, bannana, and un flavored whey. is that good?

Alternatives?

Ok I read the whoel thread and instead of saying the same shit others have, Ill just say that I am a big fan of Cytogainer. I am. I drank the gunk all the time during my bulk.

Youre asking if there is a better shake out there with less fat arent you? Well, I honestly dont know, but I am sure there is. However, i dont think you NEED it. Big G arent you an ectomorph? If so, why care about the fat shit then? Cuz its sweet, oh, I remember. Well get a different flavor since you like the product so much.

Mix it with milk for more calories or eat a banana with it.

Gee Whizz! Honest to God, I just now came back from buying oats, yogurt and bananas (among other things) and came up here to see what your recommendation was on quantites of each for a homemade shake. Now you go and type that. LOL.

For the record, I'm definitely ectomorphic. When I moved from UK to US in '98 I was 25yrs old, 6'2" and 147lb. I looked like a boney, white, bean-stalk. From 25 to 33 I gained 45lb (Mmm! Sausage gravy...) but was looking pretty chubby. From November to March (this year) I lost 33lb, leaving me at 161lb, 8-10%bf. I've since gained about 6lb of what appears to be just good ol' lean meat and I'm actually starting to look kind-of buff, a little bit anyway. I'm still a kind-of gangly though. My waist is about 31". I think I'll fill out nicely though, as time goes by. My guess is ecto-meso 75:25

I'm still going downstairs now though, to make one of those homemade shakes.

And, Iain... I ordered some Whey Gourmet (white chocolate). Man, that sounds good. It should arrive here soon, I guess. Thx for that one.

No. I was just asking about alternatives. A change of flavor. Other options. I dunno. Just other products that'd be comparable/better/different.

I had no idea it would turn into this huge, mind-blowing, ongoing thread. I thought someone would say "Try XYZ-PWO Shake. You'll love it." and that'd be the end of it.

Now, here I am, an almost-professor in the biochemical makeup of malto-freakin'-dextrin just trying to find out WTF everyone's so strung out about.

It said "complex carbs only" right on the tub! I had no idea it was hydrogen-linked simple-sugar-wadjamaflips that was in it. I swear. A shelf of supplements to the newbie is like a mine-field!

Shoot. You never did say how much of everything you use. Playing with FitDay I found 2cups yogurt, 1½srvngs whey, ¼cup oats and a banana makes 616cal 54%carbs, 41%protein, but isn't that a lot of yogurt? How many oats do you tend to add?

I haven't made one yet. I think it sounds kind-of disgusting, especially sat in the fridge all day, but I'm gonna try. I think I'll wait until I've got the right mix though. I don't wanna gross myself out unnecessarily!

Use your brain, if you think the yoghurt is too much then use 1/2 yoghurt half milk or water.

i think the answer he's looking for is what ratio of protein to carbs. In that case, I have always gone with 20-40g of protein and taking in his bodyweight considerations, I'd say probably about ehhhhh..... .5g x bodyweight for
carbs. Anyone concur?
