eat a small potato with your chicken breast, and dont eat the oats. and id do some bcaa's with your creatine.
your body wont be able to get the full benefit of the complex carbs (like oats) that close before your work out. you need fast digesting carbs, before and after your work out
To each his own, however-
IMO, Oats will be just fine before and after........
Quoted from bpmartyr
"The thing I don't get is why I would maintain a good, strict, healthy diet and right when my body goes through a stressfull workout slam a bunch of simple sugar? If it's not good for you any other part of the day why drink it PWO? Just sayin "
Plagerized from the net as well-
"Exercise, especially resistance training, has been shown to increase GLUT-4
translocation on skeletal muscle in the absence of insulin, meaning after your lift weights
you do not need insulin for your muscles to uptake glucose. While insulin will certainly
enhance the anabolic response of a meal post workout, slamming 100 grams of dextrose
(pure glucose) is not needed since skeletal muscle is already able to uptake glucose in the
absence of insulin after a workout. Increasing the glucose content of skeletal muscle (in
the form of glycogen) is beneficial for gaining muscle, but remember that GLUT-4
transporters also exist on fat cells and therefore insulin secretion promotes the storage of
glucose in both skeletal muscle and fat cells.
Therefore, one needs to increase the storage
of glucose in skeletal muscle and decrease the storage of glucose in fat cells; this can be
done by consuming low glycemic carbohydrates such as oatmeal post-workout instead of
high glycemic carbs like dextrose.
In summary, it is not necessary to jack blood glucose and insulin levels through
the roof in order to replenish glycogen and gain muscle. Skeletal muscle is able to uptake
glucose whenever it needs it. In addition, skeletal muscle is primed to uptake glucose
after exercise. By controlling your insulin levels you can gain lean mass while keeping
fat gains to a minimum.Taken from Bulking For Endomorphs."
