I take a slice of white bread with a lil honey on top post-workout.(The honey is mainly to help with the insulin). Anyways, I am currently taking the bread with my post-workout shake which consist of whey, creatine, oats and sugar. Is what I am doing now fine? Thanks !
The question here would be, when is it the best time to take my post workout meal?

Leaving the sugar subject aside, after exercise at your earliest convenience would be when you would "take" your post-exercise shakie. Or are you referring to your next meal after your post-exercise shakie? If this is the case, an hour or two - give or take - is fine. No need to micromanage. I eat again 2 hours later since I don't feel like being a conveyor belt and I can eat more without feeling overly full.Originally Posted by jerkamania

personally, i'd wait like 30 minutes. but that's cuz i have my immediate post workout meal, then get hungry about that time.
nutritionally speaking, it will be just fine to keep doing what you're doing if you want.
i have no sources for this, but i have heard you want to spread out your creatine and protein for about 15 min. creatine first, then protein. so you might wanna look into that."hey fukktard, this is a squat rack, not a dance floor, so get the fukk outta my way so i can squat!"
ain't found a way to kill me yet

I have always heard to take your PWO meal (not shake) about one hour after your workout. Take your PWO shake immediately after working out.

I've always heard after your workout is a great time to get your post-workout meal in!

Just so you know, honey ranks about the same level as fruit on the glycemic index. It's pretty moderate.. so if you are looking for an insulin boost I would go with straight dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose or a higher GI fruit like watermelon.

Take your PWO ASAP when given a chance. No, I don't mean drop the DBs or BBS after your last set, rush to the locker room and down your shake. Try to have your PWO within 30 minutes after your workout.Originally Posted by jerkamania
I'd also drop the Sugar if I were you, althought it may be good for insulin boost, I don't see it as a "Necessary" food for PWO.
You may also put on un-wanted fat with sugar.American Council on Exercise - Certified Personal Trainer

Personally, I find Alan's suggestion to be on the moneyOriginally Posted by juiyuanwu
(j/k)
4) Right before your last set, pull out the waxy maize + BCAA, pre-mixed in a shaker bottle, position it right next to you so you can access it right after you hit failure plus 3 forced reps from your training partner.
5) This is the money shot here. Soon as you can't get that last rep, have your training partner HAND YOU THE FOCKING SHAKER BOTTLE. That's the key.
6) Then it's time do slam the BCAA + WMS, then notice how much more jacked you are than anyone in the gym.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
