Whey + maltodextrin post-workout

[pedrocaparelli]

So I'm 1,80cm tall and have 77kg..
I have been taking 1 scoop of gold standard whey plus around 40g of maltodextrin. I was wondering if thats alright, since I don't want to gain TOO much mass(I'd want to have 80kg max).
Some people recommend it that I took around 60g of maltodextrin and dextrose(30g each) , while others said i shoulndt take em.. what do you guys think is the best option for me?
Thanks in advance!

Since weight gain comes from over-all caloric intake and not one meal/supplement out of the context of your total daily intake.

No one can answer that question.

Pretty not needed for the majority of us
Most simple carbs are not needed unless you are totally fasted or those training to be endurnace athletes.

I would drop it totally and eat a whole food meal
the need for a shake after a workout for most of us is minimal

When are Carbs and Protein VERY Important Post-workout?

Carbs:
- During leg Training + HIIT Cardio or doing a 2-3 hour intense workout session
Protein:
-Resistance Training in a fasted state (no meal consumed at least 3-4 hours prior)

When are Carbs and Protein of lesser importance Post-workout?

Carbs:
- 1-2 hour training session after a pre-workout meal (Small or mixed 2-3 hours prior to session)
Protein:
- Training after a meal composed of 20-40g Protein at least 1-2 hours prior to a workout in a fed state.

Overall Cliffs:

- Nutrient Timing can be beneficial but window of opportunity is not as big as believed
- Provided protein rich meal 3-4 hours prior to training, there is no stress about immediate post-workout protein supplement or meal
- Consume .4-.5g/kg of LBM in a pre/post workout exercise window spaced 4-6 hours depending on meal size.
- Post workout carb intake does not meaningful increase aabolicsm unless doing a 2 a day workout session involving same muscle groups. Glycogen is not a limting factor if you can consume enough Carbohydrates daily in the 24 hour period.

Too little info, to be honest. But in general, you don't need that much carbs post workout (as in your option 2). Betwen the two options, option 1 is better IMO. But as has been said, you can just as easily eat something more substantial (real food), unless you prefer liquid replenishment after WO.

Thanks for the fast anwsers! well, i think ill be dropping the malto, atleast for now and just be taking pure whey. I guess later i'd buy some casein or maybe creatine and mix it up for better results?

EDIT: usually between 30min-1hour after i take my shake. i'll eat a substancial meal with lots of protein, like chicken, eggs, fish, milk.
I workout at night btw, and before training i also eat some protein and carbs

If you eat within an hour of your workout, you don't even need the shake. Unless you enjoy drinking it.

no need to have the shake and then a meal so soon after
just go home and eat.

I like shake

[TMac26]

I drink a shake cause it tastes good.



Usually while food is cooking lol

[iamjeffrey]

i workout fasted at 3pm, and usually go until 7-8pm before I eat...almost religiously and daily. No post workout shake, or carbs, or post workout product. Just good ol fashioned hunger pangs fixed with food.
