No, If you had a protein bar or something it might have been semi acceptable. But you usually need to get a protein shake in with some dextrose.

it has 3 times as much fat as protein, after your workout you want protein, and even more carbs, with as little fat as possible



and it's a chocolate bar for cryin out loud! i hope this is a joke

better than some things I can think of but top of the PWO list should be a
nice big protein shake with a lil simple sugars. It all depends how serious you are an where you wanna get to! Proper nutrition is more important than training to get the BBBody you want! IMO! But hey, better eat the snicker PWO rather than just before bed and at least you managed to only have the one, the supermarket would be outta snickers if i stopped there, hehe!

No. Very bad. Peanuts after your workout are bad, slows down nutrients. Chocolate is bad pretty much anytime. And it contains very little protein.

Using common sense does eating candy after working out seem like a good thing?? (keep in mind Smarties is dextrose which is candy as well).

[bignpisst]

Why even workout?

I forgot my protein shake the other day, so I stopped at Burger King and had a double whopper with cheese and mayo, a large fry, some chicken fries and a 32oz coke. Is that ok too?












if you can't tell that I'm kidding, slap yourself

And of course we can't forget the poster who said some huge guy at the gym told him that the best thing immediately post-workout is...2 cups of lard.

He wanted to make sure it was sound advice, and where he could buy some.

Oh God.........................

snickers is a perfect post workout food

Actually, it needs to be from Wendy's. Damn Wendy's outside my gym calls my name about once a month for a pwo of a triple stack and a medium frosty. So incredibly good after pounding legs.

Pure cocoa powder is actually a good thing to add to a PWO protein shake, as it helps increase insulin levels...not sure about chocolate or choc syrup, I suppose it depends on the ingredients...

Interesting about the cocoa powder.

Have any sources/more information?

I used to do this all the time. Can't really tell if it worked or not, but it was back in my "broke days". Not a bad choice, but not the best either.
