PWO nutrition

[557mustang]

What are the best foods for pwo? I would rather eat the calories than drink them if possible...

I find eggs and egg whites digest pretty quickly. Fruit and high GI carbs get absorbed the quickest. I like rice cakes personally for post workout.

PWO is the only time I use protein powder.

I'm a fan of rice cakes pwo as well! Another one I like is cooked cream of wheat with sc vanilla protein and a tsp of honey

What do you think about 1/2 protein shake and a whole wheat bagel with fat free cottage cheese on it? Macro's would be
cal. protein carbs fat
405 42 64 3

37% 57% 6%

I'm sure 3J will comment on this sometime, but imo I'm pretty sure you will want a quick absorbing simple carb, instead of whole wheat try white bagel, no cottage cheese, and full scoop protein shake.
a carb with a high GI level would be best
