Postworkout meal

Hi all
If someone can't tolerate simple carbs like dextrose or can't find good
cheap protein powder, would substituting the immediately afterworkout
shake with whole food instead work the same?

For example eating 5 minutes after workout a banana and a can of tuna,
would that work well?

Or also 5 minutes after workout egg whites and honey

Or egg white and mashed potatoes?

I usually have a few carbs and some good protein.
For example, a can of sardines with 5 crackers. A turkey burger.
I would say that your first two options sound fine but caution you to be
careful and not overdo the mashed potatoes.
Basically though, you are on the right track.

I think worrying too much about the exact composition is not good. I
did the math once and a ham sandwich has close to the same nutritional
composition as a big protein bar - and the ham sandwich tastes better.

The reason I worried is that I know that low GI carbs are not that good
at replenishing glycogen stores while any sort of fat would delay
digestion so delivering nutrients the body is craving for after the
window of opportunity is passed

So the bread should have a GI higher than 60 and the ham should be
fat-free, well that's for optimal ...

Thanks

I think a 33/33/33 mixture of simple carbs complex carbs and protien
works for me. For years I was not making any gains and the reason was
that I never ate carbs after a workout. I know, Im stupid. Now I eat a
power bar, plain potatoe and chix breast and it seems to work much
better. If I can't get food I buy a Rapid Recovery drink at the gym.

Agreed. There's a lot to be said for a good old peanut butter sandwich and a
tall glass of cold milk, too.

Thanks for the tips, I don't have this problem but a friend does and
I'm sure she'll appreciate the advice.

If she likes to swallow, then a good old fashioned blow-job will give her
about twenty grams of protein and lots of vitamins and minerals.

At least that's what Bob Shue keeps posting.
