I'm a little confused by your second post, lol...but post training you should have carbs so I'd have the .....oh wait, I figured it out Why'd ya do that, lol.

Ya sure that second one only has 5 g of protein? They're both relatively similar (I'm assuming your bulking) I'd be more inclined to go w/ the NLarge, just cause it's easier.

Post workout you need to get about a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of protein to carbs. Protein should be between 30 and 50 grams from whey...this depends on your size...and then 60-100 grams of simple sugars...or if you are very thin or really going for bulk, you can go for 90-150 grams of carbs.

In this case your first drink looks better.

I agree with this ratio! Perfect Gopro!

I usually have a White Lightning drink that has a 1:1 ratio. I workout in the morning before I eat, and not quite to full hunger by the time I leave the gym. Should I consume more carbs to get the 1:2 or 1:3 ratio? What would be a good source? Plus I'm trying to lose bodyfat, should I still take additional carbs? Thanks for the info.

Fredog...yes, increase the carbs. Use a fast acting carb like white rice, a white potato, rice cakes, or even white bread. Get your ratio to 1:2 while cutting.
