Weight gainer after a workout question....

[Saiyan]

Iv been taking my "full" amount of weight gainer immediately after my workout. how long should i wait after to eat an actual meal? is there anything i should stay away from? or do?

please note i train in the evening, usually end around 8 or so maybe b4, and thats when im taking my gainer/ eating a meal about 45-hr after. any advice plz???

Which weight gain powder are you drinking? Take it PWO if the protein is ALL whey.

A PPWO meal 45 - 60 minutes is good.

 

[adidamps2]

looks good to me.

 

[mister69]

dont overthink it just eat when you are hungry after you workout.

What type of weight gainer are you using?

 

[Suareezay]

doesnt matter. just eat a few times during the day, and workout sometime in between.

 

[mister69]

dont use the weightgainers that are pre-made make your own w\whole foods and a blender.

the gainer im using is actually brand new and freakin expensive. its by xience(ufc marketing brand). sorry if i spelt it wrong. the calories r like 340 for 3 scoops. it includes like 50 grams carbs, and 40 grams of protein, and awhole lot of shit. is this fine. im using this as a meal replacement, so say if i dont have time to eat. and i would drink it right after a workout. so can i still eat after that? im thinking its bad, cause its to much calories to digest at once? ill just end up shitting it out no? i dont know, plz give feedback.

get home have a steak or get home and have a shake aint goona matter. But 2scoops whey protein and 1cups oatmeal is about 50grams of protein and 50 grams of carbs.

Probably full of sugar.

Although I suppose that many guys just add sugar to their PWO shake, anyway.

I eat before then about 45/1 hr after i use cytogainer,then eat a big meal a couple hrs later, then a a smaller meal before bed.

anywhere from 30 min to 2 hours u shoudl consume a meal after your post workout shake


BTW, you can make your own weight gainer for a lot cheaper then you buy the powder for and it's probably much less of a "waist gainer"

2 table spoons peanut butter
2 cups of milk non fat
3 scoops of protein
2 cups of oats

blend , its like 1000 cals.. it's mnot ideal for PWO though

when you say sugar do you mean sugar sugar, or heavy in easily digest carbs that will be quickly converted to sugar. concidering that fact that ALL CARBS are utilized/transformed into glucose. which therefore means all carbs=sugar

It depends a little bit on how worn out you are after the weightraing workout. The more tired you are, the more carbs you should take. Generally, a post workout nutrition shake should consist of roughly 50 grams of protein and 85-100 grams of carbs, and around 30 grams of sugar. My weight training workouts right now are so physically taxing that I ussually take a post workout shake AND fruit juice mixed with creatine, which is already mixed with carbs. Im taking MASS FACTOR for my post workout. There has been some debate on how long you should wait after the workout. I have experienced best results from taking the post workout shake IMEDIATELY after the workout. My body needs it badly. DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR CARBS POST WORKOUT!!! - even if it is late at night. This is THE time to have carbs. Your muscles will soak them up like sponges. I then try to have a whole food meal two hours later. That should be a more normal meal, with the carbs at most equaling the protein.
