Option Number One:
2 Scoops Whey Protein
2 Cups White Grape or Other Fruit Juice

or

2 Scoops Whey Protein
2 Cups Milk
1 Cup Blended Oates??

I have been using option 2 for quite awhile, but after reading around quite a bit I notice alot of people go with option one. Which option do you or would you go with, or list something else, and why?

Im not sure, which is 'better', but my post-workout shake consists of...

1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 cup oats
1 whole banana
2 scoops whey

Here is a link to an article written by Alan Aragon regarding pre, during, and postworkout nutrition.

POSTWORKOUT

OBJECTIVE

the objective here is to raise insulin concentrations & get a head start on recovery by antagonizing cortisol & other catabolic elements, replenish water & glygogen, and restore levels of circulating amino acids. this is mistakenly viewed as the most important meal of the day, which is BS. why? because if you're not properly fueled prior to this point, your workout will suck. thus, it's equally important in the large scheme of things.

COMPOSITION

i'm not biased towards a shake-only postworkout philosophy, as long as either type contains a liquid component. 2 equally effective scenarios are:

scenario one: as soon as possible postworkout - or even at the tail end of the workout, say, 10-20 minutes before it's over. i start chugging my postworkout shake 60 minutes into my workout, regardless of how long my workout takes.
---- 30-60g protein (0.25g/lb target BW). whey again is pretty cheap & works great here. research shows that postworkout protein doesn't inhibit glycogen synthesis, and can improve protein synthesis. this means that you can hedge your anabolic & anticatabolic bets by taking in a sizable amount of protein postworkout. whey happens to be a highly insulinogenic protein, so this is ideal at this point.
---- 60-120g of high-GI carbs (0.5g/lb target BW), or a combination of types that ultimately averages to a high-GI rating (70 or above). dextrose & maltodextrin have traditionally been emphasized as ideal for postworkout because of their high-GI. however, i have issues with going pure dex for postworkout for a couple of reasons - and they have nothing to do with the threat of insulin resistance, because that whole scenario applies to a completely different population. first off, you can get some default dex within fruit or milk. secondly, pure dex has no micronutrient density, and i've said it before, antioxidant micronutrition is grossly under-emphasized whenever postworkout nutrition is discussed. dex is a fine addition to your postworkout carb arsenal, but to go pure dex for the largest carb hit of your day doesn't make sense from a micronutrient density standpoint - especially when dex is contained in other foods that are more nutrient dense and are still either high-GI or highly insulinemic.

thinly rolled non-prepacketed oats (which many don't realize have a GI of appx 65-75 as opposed to the low-GI the steel-cut or old-fashioned type) plus dex is achieving the best of both worlds, but that's theoretical ground. NOTE: old fashioned/slow-cooked oats + dex in a 1:1 still yields a GI that crosses the threshold of high. adding fruit to your postworkout mix of carbs can potentially benefit folks who train with a high volume & do a lot of cardio (ie, precontest). the protection of liver glycogen status under such conditions can maintain the centrally neurologic signaling of the "fed state" and hence prevent lean tissue catabolism -- especially during hypocaloric balance.

okay, so to be practical, simple examples are: 1/2-1 cup dry oats + 30-50g dex (OR) 1/2 cup dry oats + 40g dex + 1 banana. these are just 2 examples out of many possibilities. i see nothing wrong with using high-moderate to high-GI carbs other than dex/malto, as long as the average GI of the combo is near or greater than 70. nitpicky theoretics aside, anything 65 or above on the GI scale (like the thinly rolled plain oats which people mistakenly think is in the low GI category) will likely have very similar real-world effectiveness as higher-GI choices. but remember, this is a discussion of optima, thus, we are scrutinizing the minutia and elucidating what might provide the edge.
---- as little fat as possible is best postworkout, because you don't want to blunt insulin output at this point.
---- milk considerations: whether or not you add milk to your postworkout shake depends upon personal preference and tolerance. the cons of milk are that many folks have some degree of lactose intolerance or milk allergy, and therefore are excluded from the possibility. the pros of milk postworkout are that it's highly insulinogenic, contains 6g dex per cup, and is a potent anabolic/anticatabolic substance that has outperformed whey in human research thus far.

scenario two: ASAP postworkout - a solid-food meal consisting of:
---- 30-60g protein (0.25g/lb target BW) in the form of lean flesh, all types are fine, 5-8oz suffices.
---- 60-120g high-moderate to high-GI polysaccharide carbs (0.5g/lb target BW), good examples are white or brown rice (yes most brown rice is high-GI), and all types of potatoes & breads. my bias and preference here is to include a serving of higher-glucose fresh fruit, such as grapes, banana, or pineapple - for micronutrient/antioxidant purposes as well as extra glucose (we should all know by now that the fructose contribution of fruit, at 4-7g on average per serving, is insignificant). another wrinkle to add here is that berries as a group have more antioxidant potential than other fruits. this confers benefit despite their lower concentration of glucose compared to grapes, pineapples, & bananas. so, don't worry if you choose other fruit than the higher-glucose ones postworkout; you're still winning out in the antioxidant arena.
---- water or milk, pick your poison.. a word about fruit juice: while i am not against small amounts of fructose from whole fruit for maintaining/replenishing liver glycogen, fruit juice on the other hand tends to cross the line of excess in terms of fructose, and you miss out on much of the beneficial phytochemicals & oxygen radical suppressors in whole fruit.
---- once again, keep fat to a minimum.

now.. can you exceed 120g carbs or 60g protein postworkout? of course! your training program, body mass, & physiology may actually scream for it. this is merely a point of reference for the masses to digest, absorb, & process accordingly (gotta love corny nutrition puns). for the few competitive endurance athletes who might read this, consider the rather whopping 1.0g/lb a starting point for your postworkout carb intake. protein need is sufficiently met with the standard guideline of 0.25g/lb.

ESOTERIC RAMBLINGS

a word about high or low-GI postworkout.. this is a topic that has sparked debate mainly from a finding by jentjens & colleagues showing the biphasic nature of glycogenesis (30-60min insulin-independent initial phase, followed by an insulin-dependent phase lasting several hours). this has led some sugarphobic folks to strive for low-GI foods postworkout thinking that high insulin concentrations aren't necessary for maximal glycogen replenishment. well, the fact remains that although heightened insulin concentrations don't ultimately increase the total AMOUNT of glycogen replenishment, they definitely increase the SPEED of glycogen replenishment. this is of obvious benefit when the unavoidable overlap of muscular work (and hence need for rapid replenishment) is considered. another thing that's overlooked by low-GI PW advocates (jeez, that's so ridiculous i can't believe i just typed it), is that the 30-60 minute non-insulin-dependent phase is an ideal timeframe to absorb high-GI carbs immediately ingested postworkout and have them present & ready to coincide with the insulin-depended phase of glycogenesis - where the majority of total glycogenesis takes place. as an added bit of trivia, high-GI carbs are sooooo darn good at replenishing glycogen, that even a delay of 2hrs was not observed by parkin's research team to compromise total amount of glycogen replenishment (by the way, this is not recommended, i'm just driving a point). hopefully everyone realizes the importance of manipulating insulin for all aspects of anabolism & anticatabolism. there's much much more to this facet of discussion, but we'll leave it at that.

I use HRS(hydrolyzed rice-based carb) from the proteinfactory.com

Product Description:
A patented enzymatic process that creates a low osmolar rice-based electrolyte formula. The process also creates a product that possesses a variety of chain lengths to only 20 grams of glucose in other oral electrolyte products, because glucose is a single, larger molecule. The carbohydrate carries amino acids and electrolytes into the system. Thus the large glucose molecule, in solutions like "the famous sports drink" takes longer for the stomach to digest. The HRS enters into the bloodstream faster than the glucose (dextrose and/or maltodextrin). In one study HRS was 60-80 minutes into the bloodstream before the dextrose drink. The product is instantized thus that means it goes right into solution without a shaker cup or blender and has a fair taste.

Alan is a stand up guy and for the most part we agree exepct for minor details post workout in which I did debate him a bit in that monstrous thread over at bb.com.

I forget what page though but we talked for a good 3-4 pages. From what I understand now he uses oatmeal with his post wokrout shake now but still holds on to adding some dextrose. Old habits die hard :)

All due respect, I'm not impressed with your link there, Jonesers. You're not alone in your thinking that brown rice is a blanketly low-GI food. It's a common misconception, but as the saying goes, you don't know what you don't know, so here's Alan back from the dead with the facts.

All documented Australian varieties of brown rice have the following GI's, based on the newer glucose standard (with the exception of 1 variety, the Doongara brown, high amylose, GI = 66):

Calrose brown (Rice Growers Co-op., Australia): 87
Pelde brown (Rice Growers Co-op., Australia): 76
Sunbrown Quick TM (Rice Growers Co-op., Australia): 80

[source: Am J Clin Nutr, July 2002, p. 5-56, w/additions & updates by David Mendosa]

^^By technical definition using the glucose standard, those 3 I listed are all high-GI.

As an aside, GI has strictly limited application; it's confounded by at least a dozen interplaying variables, but that's another discussion entirely.

Back to topic..

Now, what's the significance of Australian-produced brown rice? more than 2000 Australian ricegrowers crank out an annual crop of appx 1.3 million tons from 152,000 hectares. Ricegrowers Cooperative Ltd is Australia’s most successful producer cooperative and the largest of its type in the world. What's the significance of this? 88% of all rice grown in Australia goes for export, much of it to Asia. 40 countries worldwide now buy Australian rice. In Hong Kong, Australian rice holds 25% of the entire market by virtue of its extremely high quality, despite the fact that it is relatively expensive in Hong Kong terms. And get this, China is supposed to be the world leader in rice production -- yet Australia has a quarter of their market by the balls & counting. How can Australia do this? Simple. Australian ricefarmers achieve an average yield of 8.5 tonnes/hectare, which is the highest in the world. If you think that Australia's influence on the worldwide rice market is a small one, think again. And again.

So..

Does this mean that ALL brown rice is high-GI? No. But I didn't say that. The majority taken together as an average probably falls in the high-moderate category. However, there's a critical point that needs to be made. In the literature, the GI of American brown rice, as well as Brown rice with India origins is listed as for the most part in the low bracket, BUT, when you dig up the source, it reads:

"The low GI may be explained by the inclusion of rolled oats in the recipe"

and,

"V Lang (Danone Vitapole Company, Le Plessis-Robinson, France), unpublished observations, 1996-2000."

[source: mendosa.com/gilists.htm, READ THE FOOTNOTES!]

^^That's a little shady, folks. Why would the rest of the world's brown rice GI range from high-moderate to high? Hmmmm.... There's plenty of room for re-interpretation when the variables in question are messed with.

To conclude, thanks for staying skeptical about some random dude's ramblings on the internet. That's healthy, that will get you the facts, that will get the ghost to appear :D.. Also, keep in mind that here are over 60,000 known varieties of rice worldwide, so we can only speak for what's been documented.

Life is hectic man. And dietitians are EASY to get in trouble with. Trust me on that one.

Joneser - No probs, will do.

The Rest - I used to be a quick oats nazi, but no longer. Old fashioned oats are cheaper & probably have minimal to zero realworld difference in effect. I grind oats up to a powder in a blender dry by itself, then add whatever you want.

Bobo is cool in my book since he likes milk, fruit, & whole eggs - 3 traditional bodybuilding no-no's :D.

Wanted to bump this as they are now back in office, so I got ahold of them.

According to the analysis of their rice it is on the index as 59. She also said that they grow their rice in America and they also export to China.

I range from 190-194.

My metabolism makes it hard for me to gain weight.

For the last year at least i've been eating every 2-3 hours on the dot.

For the most part.

And i don't just drink the shake all at once...it takes me a good 5 minutes to polish it off.

EDIT: One of the things i love about bodybuilding is eating......i've always been able to eat almost everything and anything.

Last night my midnight/before bed meal was 1/4 box whole wheat pasta, toasted bologna sandwich with marble cheese, banana, oatmeal bar, glass of milk and half an apple.

Breakfast for me today after coffee was large plate whole wheat pasta, 4 scrammbled eggs, glass of milk and peanut butter toast.

Even when i take in 5000 calories a day and 300 or so of protien i don't gain lots of weight, BUT i do end up looking REALLY damn good.

If i could put on 20-30 pounds of lbm and keep my bf at what it is now(8%)i know i could model.

I really need help gaining weight:(

You need to learn what to eat. If you eat garbage, then expect crap results unless you are on gear. Even then, ...

Post work out you want a fasttrack to digestion. Not loaded with all that garbage you are consuming. What is the main source of carbs from the syrup? What is the GI of a banana? Which is going to be digested in what order: simple carbs, fats, or proteins?? I believe there is no excuse for the trashy carbs you are putting in your system with tons of fat to cloud up the digestion process. Whatever makes you happy buddy. But your fault is in your name which is why I doubt your game.

"But your fault is in your name which is why I doubt your game."

^What the heck is that about

And im not expert on diet, but im not eating crap as far as i know.

Tuna, chicken, veggies, fruits, grains, red meat, potatoes, cheeses, milk, pasta, rice, oatmeal ect sound ok to me and from what i've read for a person trying to bulk im eating good?

Maybe im wrong, but calories and protien are the way to get big and i get lots of carbs from my pasta.

I eat at least 300 grams of pasta a day(dry weight)on top of other things like baked potatoes ect.

So i don't see how im eating garbage........you consider Mc Donalds and **** like that healthy food or what?

Im not to sure what u mean man, but thus far i've treated every one here with respect so i do wish for the same in return.

Thanks.

Welcome to the board thylittle.

You need to do some more reading. We don't buy into that dextrose in PWO meal crap around here under normal circumstances. Look at the fiber content of the oats you purchasing, the higher the fiber the lower the GI generally speaking. Always a good rule of thumb. Now get reading!!

Hey Glen--

Can I call you muffin?

Hey guys, I'm new here. This is my first post, in fact.

I found this place while doing some reasearch on post workout nutrition.

I've been using a dex/whey shake for a while now while cutting. It's 68 g of dex, 33g whey protein. I sip half right before I begin working out, and the other half right after. It's based on Berardi's writing on nutrient timing.

It doesn't seem to be a problem for fat loss (then again I haven't been cutting very long) but I think it's probably better to just do oats instead, after reading everything I have seen on this forum.

So a simple shake like this is what I'm thinking:

1.5 cup oats
2 scoop WPI
1 cup fat free milk

Drink that down right after lifting.

Sound right?

Thanks
