why does protein need to be fast absorbed? for the very same reason that's why...

simply lying down and doing nothing doest' replensh glycogen, not without glycogen (glucose) in the 1st place

Boss and Swanso, thank you both for clearing that up for us. That makes sense.

I hope it doesnt slow muscle repair because I really enjoy my oatmeal too. :(

7/17

Meal 1: 1 banana, 1/2 protien shake
Workout: squats 3x12, inverted rows 3x8, lunges with barbel 3x12, flat bench press with dumbells 3x10, dumbell rows 3x10-12, overhead press 3x10. Also did some jump rope
Meal 2: whey protein, oatmeal, fruit
Meal 3: apple, tilapia
Meal 4: spinach chicken salad, avacado, nuts
taught one hour spinning class
Meal 5: blue berries, green salad, salmon, blackbeans, couscous, ice cream :(

The second half of the day sucked! I got busy at work and didn't get to lunch til late and then didn't have time to get in another meal before spinning class. Then had company at my house and made a big meal for them and ate some blue berries, couscous, and ice cream!!... I'm a HOG! REALLY didn't need those carbs and felt like crap after eating all that food. Damn! Also probably ate too much fish yesterday? But no excuses... today is a new day and I'm extra motivated to eat clean and stay on track. Damn that ice cream was sure yummy. :)

Cassie, what are you having with your protein shake PW? I used to blend mine with oatmeal, but the rice has worked much better for me.

As for meal five, well, what can I say? At least you’ve got all the macros covered. Shocked

Don’t worry about the ice cream. As active as you are, there is no way will gain any weight from that. It’s okay to splurge once in a while. Very Happy

well it's full of fibre so it will take 1 - 3hrs to fully digest i'd suppose (i don't eat it)...look it may not alter absorbtion speed but you've got to put yourself in the best position to recover and sugar in it's simpliest form is the quickest way to do it through eating

Katie... I was mixing it with water and mixing some in with my oatmeal. I'm pretty hesitant to give up my oatmeal but it sounds like I might need to? I love my morning bowl of oatmeal. :(

I have my oatmeal w/ protein before my workout. PW, I keep it in liquid form and have rice with it. So, you don’t need to give it up all together. Maybe just change your timing a bit.

that's the shit thing about am workouts, you don't get to have to have 2 "sugary" meals, not broken up anyway

Cassie. Oatmeal may possibly slow absorption down after workouts, but high GI carbs increase muscle Glycogen, and Bloodsugar as well. Simple don't because simple interact with the Liver. Bloodsugar elevation will occur, but musle Glycogen replenishment will be little to none, via Simple Carbs, which means much slower replenishment.

As I've said before, in a stright choice between simple Carbs, and high GI complex, complex win hands down every time for me.
