Everyone has different approaches to their post workout nutrition. Some believe in taking advantage of and insulin spike and consume fast acting simple carbs with protein and minimal fat, while others just stick with slow complex carbs and try to avoid the insulin spike or just don't believe in it.
For those who follow the simple fast acting carbs plan, I've read that you should consume around 50g of carbs (25g dextrose/25g maltodextrin) with whey protein. People usually obtain the combination of dextrose and maltodextrin through supplements such as Waximaize.
I've always hated drinking calories as i like chewing and enjoying my food. Does anybody have some solid food sources/recipes that they eat post workout that include the macro ratios? I'm mixing vanilla whey with plain non-fat greek yogurt and top it off with a cereal (rice krispies, frosted flakes, lucky charms...) for my carb source.
I know sugary cereals contain dextrose, not sure how much maltodextrin. You think cereal is a solid choice as a carb source or does anybody have a different approach?
