For many years 2:1:1 was the staple using a fast acting carb source(dextrose/maltodextrin) and fast acting protein source. The fact that they raise insulin has been discussed to death along with the glucose factor. I think in the end most people decided to get away from sugar and go with a quality carb source like rolled oats. I think using Dex has its pro's ad con's but when it comes to overall health and well being I think its safe to say you should stay away from simple carbs all together. My PWO shake consists of 2 scoops MRM Fruit n whey, rolled oats and flax oil. I add 5g of creatine when needed. Most "Designer" weight gainers(true mass, cytogainer) Use a quality Low GI carb sources now as opposed to DEX. Id say anyone of these is a good choice but most of them are filled with "fillers" that end up making their product ****. MSG, aspartame, artificial flavors, soy protein, GMO soy, vegetable oil just to name a few. Heres a link to, in my opinion, the best protein product for the price. Its clean, organic, no fillers and bye far the best price. It comes in Choc, Vanilla and Fruit(which contains a fruit extract antioxidant blend with 7000 orac) Just use 2 scoops of this, put some rolled oats in a coffe grinder(75g carbs),grind it, then throw it into the blender with water or milk and the whey. Add flax and creatine if you want
Take your shake immediately after your workout, then eat a pro/carb meal about 1 hour after the shake. This is pretty much the standard when talking about intense training and your bodys requirements. How many carbs you eat the rest of the day depends on the person and goals. But def have 2 carb meals after a workout(1 shake and 1 meal)
