Could you please explain why?

580 calories post workout is too much during a cut. take 1/2 a serving at most, but again, you can do without it if you are seriously cutting. if you do 1/2 a serving, make sure you compensate for it in your diet.

you dont want complex carbs pwo, simple carbs, malto while it claims to be complex behaves exactly like a simple carb (it is high gi).

I liked CytoGainer, but I wouldnt use it for a cut.

When I took it though, I never put in the serving size (4 scoops). Always 3. 4 was just asking me to make pudding.

Because you will feel MUCH better eating those 600cals as opposed to drinking them.

Now, would this do you any harm on a cut? Probably not. But it would leave you feeling pretty hungry.

What would you use for a post-workout shake while cutting?

I thought part of the reasoning for consuming maltodextrine after an intense workout is to bring your blood sugar back up. Am I wrong here?
