Peanutbutter In My PW Shake?

[evansss]

I am currently cutting. And work out relatively late in the day. Ill take in a post workout shake at anywhere from 8-930 pm. is it ok to throw 2 tbsp's of organic no salt added peanut butter into it?


also, whats the time frame that you want to stay within for taking in post work out nutrients...

i think it adds around 210 cals 18 grams of fat, but only 2 or 3 of those are saturated.

the shake itself has 300 cals and 60 grams of protein

its fine any other time but immediately pre/during/post workout.

on a side note, you generally want to be taking carbs in pwo. cutting or not, i would get more than 15g in.

you would want to add carbs on PWO, even on cutting. And just don't eat fats durant that meal and avoid in the next one.

im confused...so dont take this after i workout? I was thinking about throwing in some flax seed . i figured that would be a a good post workout shake

its a catch22 bc i end up taking this in late, and need the carbs but dont want them so late .

The problem with fats AFTER the workout is not the speed of absorption, but rather the insulin levels that will peak with carbs and will shuttle that fat go to where you do not want to.
Also, carbs should be consumed PWO because the insulin peak caused by them will lower the cortisol levels caused by the training.

fat PWO is fine take a read here and make up your own mind.

yea I trust Alan Aragon, ive linked to a few of his articles before. ill check this one out.

Its not so much that I dont like fat pwo because it slows nutrient absorption (which is irrelevant if you eat sometime before your workout) or that fat+carbs in the same meal = fat storage (which is crap), but I generally recommend that training days are lower fat, higher carb. When youre eating a high amount of carbs and adequate protein, that leaves little room for more fat.

I also want to say that fat eaten pwo has a higher propensity to be stored as fat, but that may be bro-knowledge bullshit, or i may be making that up, no telling where that tidbit came from. I do know that carbs have a lower propensity to be stored as fat pwo, though.

If I rembercorrectly your insulin sensitivity?(might be mixing the terms here so feel free to correct me) is higher after training and you glycogen is depleted so the carbs would be shuttled very effectivly to your muscles.

about fat making you fat pwo.. I have no idea.

before the xmas holidays i was using a good amount of fat PWO and dropping wt..i went from 215 down to 202 whilst using approx. 60g of fat in my PWO shake/meal along with ~70g carbs and 50'ish g protein. all i am saying here is i doubt that any of that was being stored as fat on me...


honestly i dont see how or why the body would store dietary fat as fat right after a work out. IMO the body's primary function is going to be repairing and its going to need to use everything it can get for that.

in the grand scheme of things i guess, i would not sweat a few grams (4-15g) of fat in my PWO shake/meal, for the average gym rat. i dont think its going to make or break him in the long run if they do or dont have fat PWO.

you callin me a rat adida?

another main reason i do it, because i'd like the shake to fill me up a bit. w.o the peanut butter i have a tendency to wake up starving and end up eating whatever shit is around the house.
