Meal timing????

[billytk1]

After I consume my post workout shake (which is about 500-600 calories), how long should I wait until I eat my first solid meal?

I generally wait about an hour and a half.

What you add in your PWO shake?

 

[atherjen]

yes, what does your post workout shake consist of?

what are your goals?

60 minutes is long enough. you don't want a lot of carbs in the whole food meal after the PWO shake if you are using an insulin spike as insulin sensitivity will decrease for several hours following a spike. low GI carbs are favored in this meal...

My PWO consists of 50gms whey protein (iso pure powder or optimum whey) and 90gms simple/complex carbs (45gms carbs from a product called "carbo hit" which is pure complex carbs and 45gms carbs from gatorade) along with 10grams creatine, B-100 complex vit, 2,000 mg vit "C" and 2,000 mg vit "E"
