Intra/Post Workout Nutrition (drinks?)

[tommyguns2]

What are you all presently doing (if anything) for intra/post workout nutrition?

I'm presently in a cut, so not really doing much of anything, but am transitioning over to a gain phase soon. My pre workout meal, along with intra/post workout plan will be as follows:

Wake up: 2.5 IUs GH
Meal #1: 2 scoops protein blend (about 45g) and 75g oats

About 45 mins later (15-20 mins before workout)
L-carnitine: 500mg
Humalog: 5 IUs

Intra shake: 40 oz. water (consumed during workout)
10g glutamine
6g BCAAs
1 scoop peptopro (27g protein)
50g carbs (Karbolyn)

Post Workout Shake: (30 mins post workout)
55g Whey protein blend, 25g carbs

Meal #2 (about 1 hour later)
10 oz beef, 1 cup white rice or sweet potato


Any comments or feedback are appreciated. I'm not married to this so if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

I take 1st Detachment Field Rations as my intra. It is the perfect blend of HBCD/Dextrose (20 g/5g), BCAA and EAA. I have never gone hypo when taking insulin as long as I am sipping on it.

I do not drink post workout shakes or anything. I just eat my post workout meal, which varies depending on if I am in my growth phase, maintenance phase, prep phase and my high day.

So the amount you take will just be scaled based on your insulin intake?

It would, except I always take the same amount of insulin, 5 iu either humalog or novalin r. However, on my high day in the growth season when I know I am going to put down a massive amount of food that day, I will also start the day with 20-40 iu of lantus. Pre-workout meal consists of 45 g protein, 50 g carbs and 5 g fat 45-60 minutes prior. Insulin is taken 15 minutes later. Post workout is about 3.5 hours later and the Field Rations will carry me even when using novalin r. However, if I push it even 15 minutes longer I will start to go hypo.

You ever use Beef Protein Isolate instead of Whey. I switched over about a year ago and like it much better.

Just curious what you like about it? Less gas, taste, or something else? I'm considering the whey post workout rather than a blend because it dumps into the bloodstream faster, at least on paper.

Digestively it’s so much better for me. Plus protein from a meat source is superior to whey.

I have EAA’s I drink after from Jacked Factory then eat a meal an hour later.

I am also cutting.

Have to agree with you on the Beef Isolate as the whey isolate gave me some noticeable gas attacks. The only thing is the beef iso has a little bit of an aftertaste, but tolerable!!
